The protection of electrical equipment and networks from the direct and indirect impact of lightning strikes is critical for ensuring a robust and efficient network. A direct lightning strike causes a jump in voltage at […]
Earthing and lightning protection systems (LPSs) are used to protect buildings/structures from direct lightning strikes and possible heating effects as well as fires caused due to lightning currents. Typically, an LPS consists of an external […]
Distribution networks consisting of overhead lines can experience faults, following lightning strikes, due to overvoltage. Overvoltage damage caused by events such as spikes and transients due to lightning, utility switching, isolation arcing, electrical motor cycling, […]
Earthing is an essential element in safeguarding the operations and thus the performance of generation, transmission and distribution systems. The process of transferring the immediate discharge of electrical energy directly to the earth with the […]
The protection of power systems and equipment from external weather phenomenon such as lightning is critical for their smooth functioning and the safety of operating personnel. Lightning strikes can cause immense damage to electronic equipment. […]
Lightning is an atmospheric discharge and one of the major causes of power system outages. This issue crops up frequently, accounting for as much as 40 per cent of the total outages experienced. Such outages […]
Earthing plays a critical role in the proper and safe operation of any generation, transmission and distribution system. Earthing refers to the process of transferring the immediate discharge of electrical energy directly to the earth […]
