Voltage grading ring

Voltage balancing ring, as a kind of ring protective equipment designed to improve the voltage distribution of insulator string, its importance is to effectively prevent side lightning and ensure the safe operation of power facilities. Especially in the AC voltage environment, the voltage balancing ring eliminates the potential difference between the various parts of the ring by evenly distributing the high voltage around the object, so as to achieve the balanced voltage distribution, which is its core function.

However, it is worth noting that in the authoritative standard "Lightning Protection Design Code for Buildings" GB50057-2010, the term "equalizing ring" has been updated to "equipotential connection ring". This change of name reflects the changing of the technical terminology, but also emphasizes the central role of equipotential connections in lightning protection design. The equipotential connection ring, which is functionally the same as the voltage balancing ring, is designed to enhance the lightning protection performance of the facility by eliminating potential differences.

From the point of view of practical application, whether it is the equalizing ring or the equipotential connection ring, they are an important part of the building lightning protection system. They have a wide range of applications, not only limited to power facilities, but also include all types of buildings and structures that need lightning protection. In these sites, they play a vital role in ensuring the safety of people and property.

In general, although the term has been updated from "equalizing ring" to "equipotential connection ring", this change does not affect its core function and importance in lightning protection design. In practical applications, we need to correctly select and use these protective devices according to the latest standards and specifications to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the lightning protection system.
