Lightning Strike CounterThe basic principle is to drive the counting of a counter using the induced voltage or current generated when a lightning current passes through a wire. According to the type of counter, it can be divided into mechanical lightning counter and electronic lightning counter.
Mechanical lightning counterIt is a non-power counter that uses a mechanical electromagnetic counter and is not limited by the power supply. The sensor of the mechanical lightning counter is installed on the wire through which the lightning current passes (generally the ground wire), when the lightning current arrives once, the sensor collects the lightning current signal, converts the current signal into a voltage signal, drives the electromagnetic counter to count, and records the lightning current once. The counting range of the mechanical lightning counter is generally 0 9999999 times, and after that, the counting starts from 1. The advantages of mechanical lightning counter are simple structure, easy installation, and no power supply is required, and the disadvantage is that it cannot record the lightning strike time, cannot be read remotely, and cannot be networked with other equipment.
Electronic lightning counterIt is a power-consuming counter that uses an electronic display unit and requires a power supply. The sensor of the electronic lightning counter is also installed on the wire through which the lightning current passes, when the lightning current arrives once, the sensor collects the lightning current signal, and after signal processing, it is sent to the display unit controlled by the single-chip microcomputer to record the lightning current. The counting range of the electronic lightning counter is generally 0 9999999 times, and the counting starts from 1 after exceeding. The advantages of electronic lightning counters are that they can record the time of lightning strikes, can be read remotely, and can be networked with other equipment, but the disadvantages are that they require power supply, complex structure, and professional personnel are required for installation.
The role of the lightning counter
The main function of the lightning counter is to record the number of lightning current shocks, so as to analyze and evaluate the lightning storm situation in a specific area, as well as to detect the working status of lightning protection equipment. Specifically, the role of the lightning strike counter is as follows:
The lightning counter can provide statistical data of thunderstorm activities, such as lightning frequency, lightning intensity, lightning distribution, etc., which have important reference value for thunderstorm warning, lightning protection design, lightning protection equipment selection, lightning protection effect evaluation, etc.
The lightning counter can monitor the working status of lightning protection equipment, such as lightning rods, down conductors, grounding devices, surge protectors, etc., by comparing the record of lightning counter and the number of discharge actions of lightning protection equipment, you can judge whether the lightning protection equipment is working normally, whether it needs to be repaired or replaced, so as to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of lightning protection equipment.
The lightning counter can provide evidence of lightning accidents, such as lightning damage, lightning injuries, lightning fires, etc., by viewing the records of the lightning counter and the lightning strike time, you can determine the occurrence time and cause of lightning accidents, and provide a basis for the treatment and compensation of lightning accidents.
Dikai TechnologyIndustry application solutions for lightning strike counters
As an instrument for recording the number of lightning current impacts, lightning counters are widely used in various industries, such as electric power, communications, transportation, petroleum, chemical industry, agriculture, forestry, meteorology, construction, etc. Different industries have different lightning protection needs and lightning protection standards, so it is necessary to select appropriate lightning counters and lightning protection equipment according to specific industry characteristics and scenarios to achieve effective lightning protection.
Here are a few typical industry application solutions:
