A method for fabricating heavy-load high-current 10 kV
lightning arrester, comprising: obtaining a target valve plate from candidate valves through a direct-current reference-
voltage test, where the target valve plate meets that: a surge current capacity is greater than or equal to 100 kA, a square-wave current capacity is greater than 600 A, a
residual voltage under 10 kA surge current is less than or equal to 45 kV, and repetitive charge transfer rating is greater than or equal to 0.8 C; and assembling a glass-
epoxy layer and an
electrode pair into a sealed shell inside which the target valve plate is disposed, where the target valve plate is electrically connected to a first
electrode and a second
electrode in the
electrode pair to form the heavy-load high-current 10 kV
lightning arrester. An issue of frequent faults of
lightning arresters in conventional technology is addressed.
