The Development Frontier Of Surge Protectors

Against the backdrop of global warming, extreme weather and climate events are occurring more frequently, and the intensity and frequency of lightning activity are increasing. This is particularly true in my country, located in temperate and subtropical regions, where lightning is most likely to strike. Thunderstorms are extremely frequent. Global satellite observations of lightning indicate that over 70 lightning strikes occur in my country every minute. Forty-four cities in China experience an average of more than 50 thunderstorm days per year, with the highest number reaching 120.

The increasing number of high-rise buildings in both urban and rural areas increases the risk of lightning strikes, further increasing the demand for surge protective device and lightning protection projects.

In the era of microelectronics, electronic components are trending towards miniaturization, integration, and high-speed computing. This technological development has led to increasing precision and sensitivity, but this has also weakened their ability to withstand overvoltage and overcurrent, making them more susceptible to lightning-induced damage. Furthermore, the integration of surge protector has made electronic equipment more functional and expensive, further increasing the demand for surge protection device lightning protection.
