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).
MC4 connectors are single-contact electrical connectors commonly used for connecting solar panels. MC4s allow strings of panels to be easily constructed by pushing the connectors from adjacent panels together by hand, but require a tool to disconnect them to ensure they do not accidentally disconnect when the cables are pulled. The MC4 and compatible products […]

DC MCB (DC miniature circuit breaker) plays a key role in the power system. First of all, DC MCB is a common switch in the control circuit, which mainly has two functions: on-off circuit and protection circuit. It adopts a special arc extinguishing and current limiting system, which can quickly disconnect the fault current of the […]
