Maintenance of lightning protection facilities in winter

Maintenance projects of lightning protection facilities in winter mainly include the following aspects:

Clean lightning protection facilities: Regularly clean lightning protection facilities, including lightning rods, lightning protection belts, lightning protection nets, etc., to remove dust and snow and maintain their good conductive properties.

Check the connecting wires: Check whether the connecting wires of lightning protection facilities are strong and reliable, and whether there are any problems such as aging, looseness, breakage, etc. If necessary, replace or tighten them in time.

Check the ground resistance: Regularly check the size of the ground resistance to ensure that it meets the specifications and is not too high or too low. If the ground resistance is too large, it needs to be corrected in time.

Replace failed surge protector modules: Regularly check the working status of the surge protector. If there are any failed or damaged modules, they need to be replaced in time.

Records and maintenance records: Record the maintenance status of lightning protection facilities, including maintenance time, maintenance content, problems discovered and their handling, etc., to facilitate subsequent tracking and inspection.

During the maintenance process, you need to pay attention to safety to avoid electric shock accidents. At the same time, problems discovered must be dealt with in a timely manner to ensure that lightning protection facilities are intact and effective.
