Lightning Current On-line Monitoring Device TR-LC20

Application scope

Introduction

TR-LC20 offers advanced real-time monitoring capabilities, accurately records critical parameters such as the number of lightning strikes, peak values, polarity, and the time of occurrence, and also capture the complete lightning waveform. With in-depth data analysis, the device can effectively predict the arresters working condition and perform accurate performance assessments. Its predictive maintenance and fault alarm mechanisms ensure a rapid response to potential issues, thereby optimize lightning protection strategies and enhance system safety.


Application Scenario

    In the power system, this device helps to monitor the risk of lightning strikes on transmission lines and substations;In the transportation sector, particularly in rail traffic, it ensures the safety of signal systems and power supply, avoiding operational disruptions caused by lightning.In the field of petroleum and chemical industry, lightning current monitoring is used to prevent fire or explosion accidents caused by lightning strikes.


    Moreover, real-time monitoring of lightning strikes is critical for maintaining the stability of communication base stations and data centers, which is essential for uninterrupted communication and financial transactions. For wind power plants, both on land or offshore, lightning current monitoring provides real-time data for maintenance work. Water utilities such as hydropower stations and reservoirs also utilize this technology to monitor lightning activities that could affect operations.


    In terms of public safety, government agencies, schools, historical buildings, and tourist attractions can enhance their lightning protection capabilities by installing online lightning current monitoring devices, thereby protecting people and property. In summary, whether in industrial applications or everyday life, the online lightning current monitoring device is an important tool for improving safety and preventing the hazards of lightning.
