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, …
What is Lightning Arrester’s Coverage Area? The coverage area of a Lightning Arrester (or Air Terminal) is the area within which the arrester can effectively protect a structure from lightning strikes. This area is determined by the spacing between air terminals. In this blog, we have explained the Lightning Arrester’s …
Let’s dive into the world of Covered Conductor Accessories, an essential component in the electrical distribution network. The significance of these accessories cannot be overstated, as they play a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of power distribution systems. In this blog, we will explore the various types …
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 …
Smart meters record information on electrical energy consumption, voltage levels, current and power factors. They offer greater clarity on this information to the electrical service providers regarding electrical consumption, help with monitoring the system, and billing. They use advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) that differs from automatic meter reading (AMR.). They …
Cable Gland is the ‘mechanical cable entry device’ attached to the end of electrical cables and secures them to any piece of equipment. They are also commonly known as cable connectors, cable fittings, cord grips, or cable strain reliefs. Cable Glands are vital for terminating cables in harsh or hazardous …
