The main objective of the electrical installation protection system is to limit overvoltages to values that are acceptable for the equipment.
The electrical installation protection system consists of:
=one or more SPDs depending on the building configuration;
=the equipotential bonding: metallic mesh of exposed conductive parts.
Implementation
The procedure to protect the electrical and electronic systems of a building is as follows.
Search for information
=Identify all sensitive loads and their location in the building.
=Identify the electrical and electronic systems and their respective points of entry into the building.
=Check whether a lightning protection system is present on the building or in the vicinity.
=Become acquainted with the regulations applicable to the building’s location.
=Assess the risk of lightning strike according to the geographic location, type of power supply, lightning strike density, etc.
Solution implementation
=Install bonding conductors on frames by a mesh.
=Install a SPD in the LV incoming switchboard.
=Install an additional SPD in each subdistribution board located in the vicinity of sensitive equipment (see Fig.1).
Are you worried about your electronic devices getting fried due to voltage spikes? Well, worry no more! We have the answer for you – the surge protective device. A surge protective device, or SPD, is a device that is designed to protect electrical equipment from voltage spikes or surges. These spikes can be caused by […]
Surge protector, also known as lightning arrester, is an electronic device that provides safety protection for various electronic equipment, instrumentation, and communication lines. When a surge current or voltage is suddenly generated in an electrical circuit or communication line due to external interference, the surge protector can conduct the shunt in a very short period […]
Solar connectors are an essential component of any solar system. They act as the link between solar panels and the inverter which converts the DC electricity into AC electricity. What happens when solar connectors break? 1. Poor Quality Connectors: One of the primary reasons for solar connectors to break is the use of low-quality connectors. Usually, […]
