The invention discloses a recoil compression combined arc extinguishing method and device and belongs to the technical field of lightning protection and arc extinguishing. The device comprises a support body, an outer side of the support body is provided with a plurality of skirt edges, a top of the support body is provided with a recoil device, the support body is internally provided with a multi-stage compression device, and the recoil device is connected with the multi-stage compression device. The safety capacity of a lightning protection device can be improved because the lightning protection device is achieved by blocking electric arc injection. The safety capability of a power system is improved, the improvement of the arc extinguishing capability of the device reduces the probability of short circuit of the power system, all flashover points can be effectively terminated before various natural disturbances occur, the flashover points are eliminated before malignant abrupt changes occur in the power system, and the cost performance of lightning protection is improved.
