Description
Technical Field
The present utility model relates to a modular lightning attack counter (LSC).
Background
Lightning is a naturally occurring electrostatic discharge during which there are two charged areas, both in the atmosphere or one above ground, temporarily neutralizing themselves, resulting in a transient release of on average one gigajoule of energy. Such discharges can produce a wide range of electromagnetic radiation from the heat generated by the rapid movement of electrons, which can severely damage electrical equipment.
The lightning attack counter is a tool used in a Lightning Protection System (LPS) for collecting information about the discharges suffered by the equipment and its characteristics, with the aim of improving the safety of the Lightning Protection System (LPS) and knowing whether emergency repair is required.
However, most existing lightning attack counters still operate as stand-alone monitoring devices, lack interactive functionality with external devices, and can only notify the user of limited information via a display. For lightning events, there are drawbacks in terms of timeliness, integrity, and communication of information, which affect the construction of modern lightning protection systems.
CN 206740849U discloses a lightning attack counter which uses a nixie tube to display the number of lightning attacks and a toggle switch to check and clear the data. The lightning attack counter comprises a signal input circuit, a main control circuit and a function display circuit. The signal input circuit obtains lightning energy through the coil, and the lightning energy is input to the main control circuit through the optocoupler isolation. The main control circuit is used for the cumulative counting and control functions of thunder and lightning to provide circuit state information for the display.
