Abstract
The gas blast arc-extinguishing lightning protection gap is a new type of lightning protection device based on airflow active arc-extinguishing. This paper establishes an airflow and arc mathematical model for calculating and analyzing air flow and arc motion processes. Besides, the finite element software ANSYS 14.0 is employed for the arc-extinguishing simulation in the pressure field, interaction arc, and airflow processes. Accordingly, the test analysis effects of the arc-extinguishing gap lightning protection test are verified. High-speed cameras, recording oscillograph arc-extinguishing images, and arc waveforms are employed in the process to obtain the airflow response time and arc-extinguishing time effectively based on the data analysis. Comparing the actual results with the simulation results demonstrates the arc-extinguishing reliability and provides an effective scientific basis for its practical application.
