The invention relates to a
lightning protection method by grounding the
nearest point of a
signal feeder port, which comprises a nearest grounding point of the
signal feeder port, a down lead, an insulating material and a
metal grounding plate, wherein one end of the down lead is connected with the nearest grounding point of the
signal feeder port, the other end is connected with a grounding body, a housing of a
system device is isolated with the ground by using the insulating material, a layer of the
metal grounding plate is laid below the insulating material, the
metal plate is connected with the grounding body, and the sizes of the metal plate and the insulating material are at least larger than the contactable human-
machine distance. The
lightning protection method has the benefits of eliminating a bleeder dissipation
current channel formed by
lightning potential introduced from a power supply and a signal interface through the housing at the lower part of a
machine device and the ground, leading the ground potential of the housing at the lower part of the device to suspend by leading the housing at the lower part of the device to be insulated and isolated with the ground, eliminating the probability of leading the external lightning potential to form lightning current and pass through in the
system device, leading the place within a certain range below the
system device to form the isopotential surface through the metal plate by utilizing the metal plate laid below the insulating plate and further ensuring the personal safety of staff walking on the system device. The method has high protection reliability and maintenance-free property and can simultaneously effectively reduce the mounting cost and the construction cost of the system.
