The utility model belongs to the technical field of
lightning protection, and particularly relates to a cage-shaped
lightning arrester in a
high mountain area, which comprises an upper
lightning guide ring, a lower lightning guide ring and a plurality of unit lightning rods, the plurality of unit lightning rods are annularly distributed around a set area of a
high mountain area, the set area is used for installing
electronic equipment, and the height of the upper end of the
electronic equipment is smaller than that of the spire of any unit
lightning rod; the upper lightning guide ring is electrically connected with the upper portions of all the lightning rods, and the lower lightning guide ring is located below the upper lightning guide ring and electrically connected with the lower portions of all the lightning rods. According to the scheme, the plurality of unit lightning rods are arranged in multiple directions, so that the lightning protection effects of the
electronic equipment in different directions are effectively improved, and the electronic equipment is suitable for
high mountain areas where
lightning strokes frequently occur; in addition, the lightning conductor rings are used for electrically connecting all the unit lightning rods, so that
electrical conduction between adjacent lightning rods is realized, and the lightning protection performance is further improved. Therefore, the direct damage of
thunder and lightning to the protected electronic equipment can be effectively reduced.
