Analysis and countermeasures of the tilt of lightning rod in transformer substation

Abstract

Abstract The lightning rod is an important lightning protection facility in transformer substations, which has a good protective effect for the compact equipment, while its safety performance is often neglected. The lightning rod in the 220kV transformer substation is up to tens of meters, the collapse of the lightning rod results in not only serious damage to the equipment, but also severe power failure. In this paper, the causes of the tilt of the lightning rod were analysed, and the installation requirements for the new lightning rod was proposed, which could effectively ensure the safety of the lightning rod.
