The invention relates to the technical field of on-line
lightning arrester monitoring, in particular to a non-
residual voltage monitoring device for gapless
metal oxide lightning arresters and a measurement method. A non-
residual voltage method is utilized to monitor the operating state of a
lightning arrester on line. The non-
residual voltage monitoring device comprises a case and an internal circuit board; the case is provided with an outer cover, which is provided with a display screen window, and an LED (light-emitting
diode) display is mounted on the end cover and displays in the window; the outer cover is also provided with lugs, cable holes and jacks; and the internal circuit board comprises a sensor part, a central processor MCU (microprogrammed
control unit), a
clock circuit, a memory circuit, a
signal measurement and conversion circuit, a protection circuit and a communication circuit. The non-residual
voltage monitoring device can monitor the parameters of the
lightning arrester, such as
total current, resistive current and frequency of action, and has the functions of local display,
remote communication, data storage and the like. The non-residual
voltage monitoring device is applicable to the on-line monitoring of lightning arresters of various
voltage levels, can completely substitute for conventional
total current meters and act counters, and has a broad application prospect.
