The utility model provides a
lightning arrester connected in series with air-blast arc extinguishing gaps, which comprises a
zinc oxide body, a middle gap is arranged on the
zinc oxide body, and a closed-loop
electrode is arranged on the middle gap; the middle gap is connected with an air-blast arc extinguishing
assembly, the air-blast arc extinguishing
assembly is connected with a threaded
electrode, and the threaded
electrode is connected with a high-
voltage line; the air-blowing arc extinguishing
assembly comprises a connecting column, a threaded electrode is connected to the connecting column, and a middle gap is connected below the connecting column; a plurality of compression pipelines are installed in the connecting column, the compression pipelines are connected end to end and installed in the connecting column in an inclined mode, arc blowing openings are formed in the positions, corresponding to the end-to-end connection positions of the compression pipelines, of the outer wall of the connecting column, and the arc blowing openings communicate with the compression pipelines; and an arc striking table is arranged in the compression pipeline. According to the
lightning arrester provided by the utility model,
airflow is generated at the arc blowing port through the air-blowing arc extinguishing assembly and acts on an
electric arc outside the arc blowing port, and the
electric arc outside the arc blowing port is gradually lengthened under the action of the
airflow, so that the effect of extinguishing the
electric arc is achieved, and stable operation of an
electric power system is ensured.
