Wind-solar hybrid lightning protection grounding for St George solar container communication station

3 FAQs about Wind-solar hybrid lightning protection grounding for St George solar container communication station

Are lightning arrestors and surge protectors a substitute for good grounding?

Lightning arrestors and surge protectors are designed to protect electronic equipment by absorbing electrical surges. However, these devices are not a substitute for good grounding. They function only in conjunction with effective grounding. The grounding system is an important part of your wiring infrastructure.

What is a lightning protection system?

Lightning protection systems (LPS) provide a protective zone to assure against direct strikes to PV systems by utilizing basic principles of air terminals, down conductors, equipotential bonding, separation distances and a low‐ impedance grounding electrode system.

Can PV systems be protected from lightning?

Despite the high lightning risk that PV systems are exposed to, they may be protected by the appropriate application of Surge Protection Devices and a Lighting Protection System.   One must give thoughtful and careful consideration to the following:
