How to solve the threat of lightning to LED display?
Nov 27, 2021
I don't need to say more about the power of lightning. I remember I was most afraid of thunder in the sky when I was a child. The outdoor LED display screen is also afraid of lightning. The voltage of lightning is very high, which can reach 100 million to 1 billion volts! It is 1-100000 times that of our common high-voltage lines. At such a high voltage, the charged cloud breaks through the atmosphere to form a primary electric energy release. After the lightning is released, the charge carried by the charged cloud decreases rapidly, causing electrostatic induction and electromagnetic induction in the metal conductor about 2km around the lightning occurrence point, forming high voltage or instantaneous impulse current in the conductor. High voltage and instantaneous impulse current can cause the power supply of LED display screen to burn out, and the chip and lamp tube to be broken down. The harm caused by lightning to outdoor LED display screen is irreparable.
It is important to do a good job in lightning protection for outdoor LED display screens. Next, let's take a look at the lightning protection measures for outdoor LED display:
It is best to install lightning protection pins. It is better to install a well grounded lightning rod 5 meters higher than the screen near the screen (the lightning rod should not be installed on the screen structure, it is not lightning protection, but lightning, remember to prevent lightning from directly hitting the screen.
Lightning arrester can also be installed. SPD surge arrester shall be installed inside the distribution box of the display screen to prevent the induced current caused by lightning strike on the external main cable from damaging the display screen.
