The invention discloses a zigzag synchronous compression arc extinguishing and lightning protection device with four side ejection channels. The zigzag synchronous compression arc extinguishing and lightning protection device with the four side ejection channels comprises a lightning protector body (1) and an arc striking electrode (3), the inside the lightning protector body (1) is provided withan arc extinguishing path composed of a plurality of arc extinguishing tubes (6) which are helically distributed in a four-pointed star shape or a diamond shape; the head end of the first arc extinguishing tube inside the lightning protector is electrically connected with the arc striking electrode (3), and the tail end of the last arc extinguishing tube is electrically connected with a connectingmetal piece (5); the end portions of every two neighboring arc extinguishing tubes are in direct contact or are connected through connectors (8); the connected part of every two neighboring arc extinguishing tubes close to the outer surface of the lightning protector body (1) is provided with an airflow ejecting channel which extends to the outer surface of the lightning protector body (1), namely, the outer surface of the lightning protector body (1) is provided with an airflow ejecting port (4). The zigzag synchronous compression arc extinguishing and lightning protection device with the four side ejection channels is simple in structure, reasonable in design, strong in arc extinguishing ability and stable and reliable in work.
