In this article, we will explore the importance, design & installation of Lightning & Surge Protection for wind turbines. This essential topic explores the cutting-edge strategies and technologies used to protect these towering giants from lightning strikes and transient over-voltages, ensuring their reliable operation, minimising downtime, and safeguarding valuable components …
Battery storage systems have emerged as a pivotal technology in the energy revolution, enabling the storage of locally produced electricity on-site. These systems, often housed in containerized units, store power generated by renewable sources such as photovoltaic systems and wind turbines, and feed it back into the grid on demand. …
A lightning strike discharges an enormous amount of energy in a short period of time. This can hit the buildings or electrical systems in an area resulting in unpredictable damage. In order to protect these structures and electrical systems, we have Lightning Arresters installed on top of such structures. In …
How many times is your building hit by lightning every year? A Lightning Strike Counter will give you the exact count. It is specially designed to record the number of lightning strike events and help you identify if your system requires any maintenance. In this blog, we will deep dive …
Where do Netflix & Amazon Prime store the thousands of Movies & TV Shows they stream on their websites and apps? They don’t keep all these terabytes of data on your computer or your phone. They keep them in Data Centres – massive buildings with thousands of racks of servers …
The importance of the lightning protection system for any building cannot be overstated. Lightning protection systems are essential to protect buildings from lightning strikes and the damages caused to the structure, the internal system, and the people inside. To design an effective system for complete protection we need to first …
Petrol stations are high-risk locations considering the huge explosion that can happen due to any small ignition from lightning strikes or other sources. There are special building regulations in the case of petrol stations considering these risk factors. The lightning protection for petrol stations must be designed based on the …
What are Surges? Surges, or transients, are brief overvoltage spikes or disturbances in a power waveform that can damage, degrade, or destroy electronic or electrical equipment. This sudden high voltage is beyond the voltage limit that the circuit is designed to handle. Surges are very short and last only for …
A lightning protection system is an essential element of any building or facility to protect it from the damaging effects of lightning events. Testing the efficiency and the continuity of the Lighting Protection system is crucial for attaining the required lightning protection. The lightning protection system must be tested …
Surge arresters are protective devices for safeguarding a piece of equipment from over-voltage transients by discharging or bypassing the surge current. It provides a low resistance path to the surge current protecting the system. The surge current can occur usually due to various reasons, like lightning or internal switching events. In …
