Intelligent lightning protection systems combine traditional lightning protection technology with the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and remote monitoring, which can solvethe pain points of traditional lightning protection: passive protection, inefficient manual inspections, and difficulty in early warning of faults.And itsapplication scenarios cover areas with high lightning strike risk, high equipment value, and high security requirements. The limitations of traditional lightning protection are forcing more and more companies into a passive defense dilemma.

The dilemma of traditional lightning protection is highlighted, and safety upgrade is imminent
For a long time, enterprises have relied on a "passive protection + regular testing" model for lightning protection. Lightning protection equipment can only passively resist lightning strikes when they occur. Annual testing, like the blind men and the elephant, offers no real-time visibility into equipment operating status, nor does it capture fluctuations in critical data before and after a lightning strike. If lightning protection components fail (e.g., SPD aging or abnormal grounding resistance), enterprises are exposed to lightning risks without warning, potentially leading to significant losses such as production line downtime and data loss.

Addressing the shortcomings of traditional lightning protection, theintelligent lightning protection system, with its innovative concept of "active defense, intelligent linkage, and full control," is revolutionizing industrial lightning protection. It achieves three key transformations: from passive to active protection, from decentralized protection to fully intelligent system protection, and from single-detection to an integrated "monitoring-analysis-warning-operation-and-maintenance" system, establishing a comprehensive lightning protection and operation and maintenance management network for enterprises.

Trinity intelligent lightning protection builds a solid safety barrier
The intelligent lightning protection system is based on a B/S architecture platform (including a WeChat applet for mobile phones), paired with a communication management machine and field equipment terminals, integrating IoT technology to create three core monitoring modules:

Intelligent SPD online monitoring: Real-time tracking of key parameters of surge protection devices (SPDs), such as leakage current, number of operations, and temperature. Once performance degradation or failure occurs, the system immediately issues an alarm, avoiding the risk of "failure protection."

Online monitoring of lightning warnings: Through technologies such as atmospheric electric field monitoring, the arrival time and intensity of lightning can be predicted in advance, and pre-treatment measures can be initiated by linking on-site equipment, thus buying valuable emergency preparation time for enterprises.

Online monitoring of grounding resistance: 24-hour monitoring of the grounding system's resistance value ensures that the grounding effect meets the specifications, fundamentally eliminating lightning protection failures caused by poor grounding.

Full-scenario operation and maintenance empowerment, doubling management efficiency
In addition to core monitoring functions, the intelligent lightning protection system also features a graphical operating system, integrating one-stop functions such as remote monitoring, equipment management, report analysis, historical records, and user management. Enterprise managers can use their computers to check the status of lightning protection equipment, download data reports, and receive alarm information anytime and anywhere, enabling them to "control lightning protection operations and maintenance from the comfort of their home." This intelligent management model not only reduces manual inspection costs but also shifts lightning protection maintenance from "post-event repair" to "pre-event prevention," significantly improving equipment safety.

With the intelligent lightning protection system, the SPD online monitoring system monitors equipment status in real time, allowing faults to be detected and repaired early, avoiding prolonged equipment downtime and replacement. The lightning early warning online monitoring system provides timely warnings of lightning risks, enabling operations and maintenance personnel to take protective measures in advance, effectively reducing the risk of fire and casualties. The grounding resistance online monitoring system ensures the stability and reliability of the grounding system and reduces the impact of lightning currents on equipment. Jinli Electric's "Nine-square Grid Three-Dimensional Protection Technology" transforms passive lightning protection into active defense, and from decentralized protection to fully intelligent system protection, establishing a three-dimensional lightning protection and operations and maintenance management system.
