This article is a knowledge article that continues the digital lightning protection series.
The pictures in this article have been re-conceived independently according to the article's theme. All pictures are centered around the knowledge points of this article, and cross-article general templates are no longer used.
1. What does passing the lightning protection test mean?
Lightning protection testing can confirm whether the lightning protection, downconducting, grounding, equipotential bonding, SPD and other links meet the requirements at the time of testing.
But the detection result is essentially a time section. Qualifying the test is very important, but it does not automatically prove that it is still qualified after every subsequent thunderstorm and surge.
2. What happens between the two tests?
Lightning strikes, surges, SPD degradation, grounding changes and on-site construction disturbances can all occur between inspections.
If these changes are not continuously recorded, they will become operational blind spots.
3. What does online monitoring supplement?
Online monitoring is supplemented by operational process data, including lightning strike events, surge records, SPD status, grounding trends, alarms and disposal records.
This upgrades the lightning protection system from one-time detection results to continuously updated status files.
4. What is the relationship between testing and online monitoring?
Detection solves compliance, and online monitoring solves continuity.
The two are not substitutes, but complementary to each other.
5. How to understand micro-IoT?
Micro-IoT believes that in the future, lightning protection operation and maintenance will need to move from detection reports to health records.
The lightning protection system must be compliant and its long-term status must be known.
Conclusion: From single point protection to long-term status management
The core of digital lightning protection is not to rebrand traditional lightning protection, but to move the lightning protection system from static installation to long-term status management.
When events, status, trends and actions can all be recorded, the lightning protection system truly has the ability to continuously improve.
Micro-IoT technology will continue to share content related to intelligent lightning protection, electrical safety early warning, digital power distribution, energy supervision and industrial Internet of Things.
Micro-IoT/FEXLINK uses data to reconstruct energy efficiency and electrical safety.
Where there is electricity, there is micro-IoT.
