Aviation obstruction lights are susceptible to thunder in outdoor high places for a long time. In order to avoid the impact of lightning and maintain normal operation, aviation obstruction lights basically need to be equipped with anti-surge devices. What is the role of aviation obstruction lights anti-surge devices?
The aviation obstruction lights are installed on the top of high-rise buildings. When facing thunderstorms, they are easily hit by direct lightning or indirectly affected. This will cause malfunction or irreversible damage to the lamps, so it is necessary to carry out the aviation obstruction lights. Lightning protection, and anti-surge devices are the most commonly used measures.
The main function of the anti-surge device for aviation obstruction lights is to resist small lightning strikes or avoid the indirect effects of lightning. It can switch on and shunt sudden currents or voltages due to external interference in a very short period of time, thereby avoiding the impact of surges. Damage to other equipment in the loop prevents the lamp from being burnt due to excessive current in an instant.
In order to avoid the impact of lightning strikes, Luyuan will also add lightning shields to aviation obstruction lights, so that the equipment as a whole has better protection capabilities. At the same time, the aviation obstruction lights installed on the top of high-rise buildings need to be installed with lightning arresters, and the lightning arrester part should be closely connected with lightning protection belts and other facilities to avoid lightning strikes directly hitting the obstruction light equipment.
