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 periodically ...
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 ...
A lightning arrester protects the electrical network and the structures from lightning. When lightning strikes, it creates massive destruction and damages the equipment. A lightning arrester or a surge diverter protects the equipment at the substation. The lightning arrester bifurcates the abnormal high voltage to the ground without affecting the ...
Surge protection devices play a vital role in voltage fluctuations or variations. These fluctuations are the most common behaviours observed in any electrical system. Voltage change can vary from small voltage fluctuations for a short duration to a complete blackout for an extended period. When the voltage drops below the ...
