What are the differences in the protective effects of Three Phases AC SPD when dealing with lightning strikes of different voltage levels and current intensities?

When Three Phases AC SPD responds to lightning strikes of different voltage levels and current intensities, its protective effect will show certain differences. This is determined by the design principle and working mechanism of the lightning arrester.
First of all, for lightning impulses of different voltage levels, Three Phases AC SPD needs to have corresponding rated voltage and withstand voltage capabilities. At lower voltage levels, lightning arresters can effectively absorb and disperse lightning energy and protect power equipment from damage. However, when the voltage level increases, the energy of lightning impact will also increase accordingly, which places higher requirements on the voltage resistance and absorption capabilities of lightning arresters. If the rated voltage of the lightning arrester is insufficient to cope with high-voltage lightning strikes, its protective effect may be affected, and may even cause damage or failure of the lightning arrester.
Secondly, current intensity is also a key factor affecting the protective effect of Three Phases AC SPD. The greater the current intensity of lightning impact, the stronger the impact and destructive power on the lightning arrester. Lightning arresters need to have sufficient current carrying capacity to cope with lightning strikes of different intensities. When the current intensity is small, the lightning arrester can respond quickly and effectively absorb lightning energy to protect the stable operation of the power system. However, when the current intensity exceeds the carrying capacity of the lightning arrester, the lightning arrester may not be able to fully absorb the lightning energy, causing part of the energy to be transmitted to the electrical equipment, causing damage to it.
Therefore, when selecting Three Phases AC SPD, you need to select the appropriate model and specifications based on the voltage level and current intensity in the actual application scenario. At the same time, regular inspection and maintenance of lightning arresters to ensure that they are in good working condition is also an important measure to ensure the protection effect.
To sum up, the protection effect of Three Phases AC SPD will be affected to a certain extent when dealing with lightning strikes of different voltage levels and current intensities. Selecting the appropriate lightning protector model and specifications, and performing regular maintenance and inspections are the keys to ensuring the lightning protection effect.
