Rotation in Perfection! Lightning and Surge Voltage Protection for Wind Turbine Installations

摘要

Because of their exposed location and height, wind turbine installations are especially at risk from lightning strikes. The high investment costs must be amortized as quickly as possible by the intake subsidy. The uninterrupted availability of all system components is thus absolutely vital. Downtimes and repair costs caused by lightning strikes and surge voltage damage are therefore unacceptable for wind turbine installation operators. The manufacturers of these installations therefore set particular store by a comprehensive surge voltage protection concept.
