Lightning rods tower are also called lightning towers or lightning elimination towers. They can be divided into round steel lightning rods and angle steel lightning rods according to the materials used. According to different functions, they can be divided into lightning rod towers and lightning protection line towers. Round steel lightning rods are widely used because of their low cost. The materials used for lightning rods can include round steel, angle steel, steel pipes, single steel pipes, etc., with a height ranging from 10 meters to 60 meters. Lightning rods include lightning rod towers, lightning protection decorative towers, lightning elimination towers, etc.
Purpose: Used for direct lightning protection in communication base stations, radar stations, airports, oil depots, missile sites, PHS and various base stations, as well as building roofs, power plants, forests, oil depots and other important places, weather stations, factory workshops, paper mills, etc. .
Advantages: The steel pipe is used as the tower column material, which has a small wind load coefficient and strong wind resistance. The tower columns are connected with external flange plates and bolts, which is not easy to be damaged and reduces maintenance costs. The tower columns are arranged in an equilateral triangle, which saves steel materials, occupies a small area, saves land resources, and facilitates site selection. The tower body is light in weight, easy to transport and install, and the construction period is short. The tower shape is designed to change with the wind load curve and has smooth lines. It is not easy to collapse in rare wind disasters and reduces human and animal casualties. The design complies with the national steel structure design specifications and tower design specifications to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure.
Principle of lightning protection: The lightning current conductor is an inductive, low-impedance metal inner conductor. After a lightning strike, the lightning current is directed to the earth to prevent the protected antenna tower or building from being charged from the side. In most cases, the impact of electrostatic field cables is less than 1/10 of the tower impedance, which avoids electrification of buildings or towers, eliminates flashover restrictions, and reduces the intensity of induced overvoltage, thereby reducing the harm to protected equipment. The protection range is calculated according to the national standard GB50057 rolling ball method.
