Huazheng HZJS-3 Lightning Surge Arrester Discharge Counter Tester

The lightning arrester is an important piece of electrical equipment in power networks, designed to protect power equipment from over-voltage. Normally, the operation of the arrester and the leakage current are monitored through an arrester monitor. However, due to poor sealing, the monitor may be exposed to water or moisture during operation, leading to internal component corrosion. In such cases, or for other reasons, the monitor's counter may fail to operate correctly, resulting in inaccurate leakage current readings. Therefore, according to The Regulations, the arrester monitor should be checked annually.
The reliability of the counter's operation is critical for the power system. It is an important parameter that records the number of lightning strikes received by the arrester during normal operation. This information provides a crucial basis for power system workers to inspect the arresters.

    I. Principle

    Figure 1 shows the principle wiring diagram of JS action counter. Figure 1 (a) is the basic structure of hzjs-type action register, namely the dual-disc structure.

    When the arrester operates, the discharge current flows through the valve sheet R1. The voltage drop across the valve sheet R2 charges the capacitor C, which then discharges the inductance coil L of the electromagnetic counter, causing it to rotate by one grid and record one count. By adjusting the resistance of R1 and R2, the sensitivity of the recorder can be changed. The typical minimum action current is 100A (8/20 µs) impulse current. Since there is a certain pressure drop across R1, this increases the residual voltage of the arrester, so it is mainly used for high-voltage arresters over 40 kV.
    Fig. 1(b) shows the structure of this type of motion recorder, which uses a rectifying structure. When the arrester operates, the voltage drop across the high-temperature valve sheet R1 is charged to the capacitor C through full-wave rectification. The capacitor then discharges the inductance coil L of the electromagnetic counter, causing it to count. The resistance value of the valve sheet R1 in the counter is low (the pressure drop at 10 kA is 1.1 kV), the current-carrying capacity is high (1200 A square wave), and the minimum operating current is 100 A (8/20 µs) impulse current.

    III.Inspection Methods And Principles 

    Due to poor sealing, the counter may be exposed to moisture during operation, which can cause internal components to rust and prevent the counter from operating normally. Therefore, the "Regulations" stipulate that the meter should be checked once a year. There are three methods for testing: the direct current method, the alternating current method, and the standard impulse current method. Research shows that the standard impulse current method is the most reliable, and its wiring diagram is shown in Figure 2.

    If an 8/20 µs, 100A impulse current wave produced by the impulse current generator is applied to the action recorder, and the recorder operates normally, the instrument is functioning properly. If the recorder does not operate correctly, it should be dismantled and repaired. For example, a power bureau used this method to test 27 counting devices, of which 3 were not moving. Upon disassembly, the internal components were found to be damp and damaged.
    The Regulations stipulate that continuous testing should be conducted 3 to 5 times, with each test yielding normal results. The time interval between tests should be no less than 30 seconds. After testing, the recorder should be reset to 0.

    Matters Needing Attention

    1.When dismantling the connection, if the output voltage does not return to zero, the operator must not touch the non-insulated part of the test line to avoid personal injury.
    2.The tested product must not be charged.
