Smart Lightning Protection Monitoring System Vertical Solution
The smart lightning protection monitoring system is a full-lifecycle online monitoring system for surge protective devices (SPDs) in buildings, power, telecommunications, transportation, petrochemical, and other industries. Through FS/FSS/FL/FR/FG/ESM series smart lightning protection terminals, it monitors SPD degradation status, leakage current, lightning strike count and intensity, grounding resistance, and equipotential bonding status in real time, evolving lightning protection systems from passive annual inspection to 24h online dynamic assessment linked with thunderstorm-day warnings.
Core Conclusion
The FEXLINK smart lightning protection monitoring system is built on 1μS high-frequency transient capture and 10μA-class microampere-level leakage current detection accuracy, fully covering degradation monitoring and lightning current surge recording for power SPDs, signal SPDs, and antenna-feed SPDs. The companion Wanxiang AI engine performs feature extraction and graded analysis of lightning waveforms, and combines meteorological thunderstorm warning data to close the loop: pre-strike risk alerts, precise capture during strikes, and post-strike degradation assessment. It runs stably in scenarios including a major cross-sea link, a major port, a high-speed rail corridor, and a major grid operator, with hundreds of thousands of lightning strike events captured to date.

Industry Pain Points
SPD degradation goes undetected
Conventional SPD degradation indicators only reveal failure after thermal disconnect; rising leakage current and lengthening response time during degradation remain completely invisible, leaving risk latent for extended periods.
Lightning strikes cannot be quantified
Without quantitative records of lightning current peak, polarity, charge, and specific energy, post-strike equipment damage assessment and insurance claims lack objective evidence.
Grounding resistance testing lags
Grounding resistance is measured manually with an earth tester only once a year, missing gradual grounding performance deterioration caused by post-rain corrosion or construction damage.
High annual inspection costs
With sites widely dispersed, annual inspection requires dispatching technicians station by station — high travel costs, long inspection cycles, and scattered data that is difficult to manage.
Technical Architecture
A complete layered architecture from sensing to AI, supporting a full-process data closed loop.
Core Capabilities
Full SPD status monitoring
The FS smart SPD embeds an ESM monitoring module that measures leakage current, temperature, operating voltage, and switch status in real time, visualizing the full SPD lifecycle from normal to degraded to failed.
1μS lightning current capture
The FL lightning current recorder samples at 1μS high speed, fully recording strike peak, polarity, front/tail time, charge, specific energy, and strike count, with complete waveform data storage.
Grounding resistance online monitoring
The FR grounding resistance online monitoring module adopts non-contact + three-electrode dual measurement, automatically eliminating the influence of seasonal soil resistivity variation and giving early warning of gradual grounding performance deterioration.
Thunderstorm-day risk linkage
Integrates meteorological thunderstorm warning APIs with real-time device status to automatically push risk alerts before thunderstorms arrive, prioritize capture during strikes, and generate surge reports immediately after.
Automatic annual inspection reports
Automatically aggregates full-year SPD degradation records, lightning events, grounding resistance trends, and alarm handling, generating GB 50057-compliant lightning protection annual inspection reports in one click and greatly simplifying manual inspection.
