Reference [1] describes a process for the design of lightning protection that transforms the transient experienced by the components during the lightning test transient into the reference transients ...

A common lightning protection circuit consists of a series resistor and a shunt voltage suppression device designed to clamp the transient to a tolerable level. There is an issue when selecting ...

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 ...

Electrical substations utilize direct lightning stroke shielding to help ensure proper operation, and to prevent costly damages and extended outages. While modern substation designs and equipment make ...

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 ...

The requirements for installing lightning protection systems were featured in the October 2016 issue of Electrical Currents from the Washington State Department of ...

The lightning strike occurred as the UAE entered the peak phase of the ‘Al Bashayer’ low-pressure system on December 18, ...

ProTek Devices has introduced its SM15KPAN series of high-powered surface mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) components to provide overvoltage circuit protection in applications that include ...
