System, indretning, og fremgangsmåde til detektering af elektriske afladninger på en struktur

摘要

A lightning detection and damage estimation system (100) for a structure (115) is disclosed herein. The system (100) includes a lightning receptor (110), coupled to a lightning conductor (125), configured to receive multiple lightning strikes (120) and induce lightning current in a pick-up coil (127) coupled to the lightning conductor (125). An integrated circuit (130) coupled to the lightning conductor (125) via the pick-up coil (127) includes a non-volatile memory (250) for successively storing one or more samples of the lightning induced current for the multiple lightning strikes (120). A damage estimation unit (260) is configured to estimate a condition of the structure (115) based on analyzing a history of stored samples of the lightning induced current of the multiple lightning strikes (120) from the non-volatile memory (250).
