Lightning protection in photovoltaic (PV) systems is a critical area of study as these installations are increasingly exposed to atmospheric discharges that can substantially disrupt energy production ...

Residential PV systems are generally installed on the rooftop of residential buildings, with a large metal surface area, higher distance from the ground and an exposed location. Such PV systems are ...

Megger has enhanced its KC series of test leads used with wind turbines. KC-C test leads are lightweight, making them safe for use at heights, and are designed to work with Megger’s DLRO2 low ...

Florida is the state where lightning strikes, and it is more than twice. With summer bringing multiple thunderstorms weekly the chances for tree damage are quite possible. Lightning protection systems ...

Ed Lobnitz, retired principal/senior electrical engineer at TLC Engineering Solutions, wrote the chapter on lightning protection for towers that has appeared in several editions of the NAB Engineering ...

As the use of carbon fibre composites increases in aircraft manufacturing, so does the need for EMI shielding and lightning strike protection [1-4]. Lightning strike protection usually takes the form ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The lightning protection systems market is expected to grow by USD 132.67 million during 2020-2024, according to Technavio. The report offers a detailed analysis of the impact ...

One of the less-common contracting specialties in northern New England is lightning protection for structures. Although damaging lightning strikes to buildings are less common here than in other ...

Standing hundreds of feet above ground, wind turbines—like tall trees, buildings, and telephone poles—are easy targets for lightning. Just by virtue of their height, they will get struck. Lightning ...

It's a common mistake to test something other than the grounding system and then conclude the grounding system is good, regardless of its actual (and unknown) condition. That mistake, in turn, leads ...
