Lightning is a powerful natural phenomenon. When lightning strikes directly at transmission lines, substations and other facilities in the power grid, it releases extremely high energy, and the amplitude of the lightning current can be in the range of thousands to hundreds of kiloamps. In general, the common lightning current amplitude is about 20 - 50 kA. However, in some extreme cases, the amplitude of lightning current can exceed 200 kA. Such large currents, when passing instantaneously through transmission lines or substation equipment, produce strong thermal and electromagnetic effects.

Lightning arrester is a transmission line lightning protection important equipment, can limit the line lightning overvoltage, improve the line lightning level, reduce the system due to lightning faults caused by the tripping rate. However, due to transmission line lightning arrester in operation for a long time to withstand all kinds of overvoltage and the impact of the site environment, inevitably will gradually aging. The lightning arrester will be gradually aging, which will lead to performance degradation or damage of the lightning arrester. Based on this, our company has developed a transmission line surge arrester online monitoring device, which is particularly important for lightning protection in areas with many thunderstorms or particularly strong lightning activities.
