The system for protecting a building against the effects of lightning must include:
=protection of structures against direct lightning strokes;
=protection of electrical installations against direct and indirect lightning strokes.
The basic principle for protection of an installation against the risk of lightning strikes is to prevent the disturbing energy from reaching sensitive equipment. To achieve this, it is necessary to:
=capture the lightning current and channel it to earth via the most direct path (avoiding the vicinity of sensitive equipment);
=perform equipotential bonding of the installation;
This equipotential bonding is implemented by bonding conductors, supplemented by Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) or spark gaps (e.g., antenna mast spark gap).
=minimize induced and indirect effects by installing SPDs and/or filters.Two protection systems are used to eliminate or limit overvoltages: they are known as the building protection system (for the outside of buildings) and the electrical installation protection system (for the inside of buildings).
Voltage protection is an important electrical protection method that aims to ensure that equipment in the power system can operate safely when the voltage is abnormal. When the voltage in the power system is too high or too low, exceeding the range that the equipment can withstand, the voltage protection will trigger the protection mechanism and […]
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 […]
Surge protective devices, also known as SPDs, play a crucial role in protecting electrical equipment from power surges and other electrical disturbances. SPDs come in different shapes and sizes, and it can be challenging to identify them, especially if you are not familiar with electrical equipment. Then, how do I identify a surge protective device? […]
