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. …
Good earthing systems play a critical role in protecting structures, equipment, and personnel from the devastating effects of lightning strikes. With fast rise times and large magnitude currents associated with lightning, special attention is required when designing and implementing earthing systems. This guide will walk you through the essential characteristics …
Earthing, also known as grounding, is a crucial aspect of electrical safety for EV charging stations. It involves connecting the metal components of the charging station to the earth using a conductor to divert any electrical current that may occur due to a fault in the charging station or other …
A well-designed earthing system is the fundamental requirement for any electrical structure or system, regardless of the voltage level. International standards such as IEC 62305 and BS 7430 play a crucial role in ensuring safety by defining earthing design practices for various electrical installations. Earthing systems consist of earth electrodes, …
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 …
In distribution networks, the power lines transmit power from one location to another through distribution poles which are situated at the side of roads or on hilly areas. In storm-prone locations throughout India, trees often fall on bare conductor distribution lines causing the pole to fall onto the ground. Due …
TNCS earthing systems are a type of electrical earthing system that protect people and structures from electrical hazards and ensure the safety and reliability of the installation process. TNCS (TN-C-S) systems are characterised by using a combined neutral and earth conductor (C and S), which connects the electrical installation to …
Earthing is a crucial aspect of electrical safety in any structure. There are a variety of earthing techniques available to enable the fault current to flow safely into the earth. Most of the time we select products that are easily available at a lower cost, but this is a wrong …
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 …
