Wind Turbine Installation

Surge Protectors Essential for Wind Turbine Installation

Wind turbines are often located in open areas and at high altitudes, making them particularly vulnerable to lightning strikes. SPDs protect components such as turbine control systems, generators, and transformers by diverting surge currents to the ground, preventing significant damage to the equipment.
Installing SPDs minimizes equipment failures, increases power generation reliability, and ensures uninterrupted energy production. This protection is critical to keeping wind energy projects operating smoothly.

Installation Location & Recommended SPD Types

Near the control system and generator
 
At the base of the tower where the cables enter the turbine
 
On the transformer and switchgear cabinets
 
At the entry points of communication and monitoring systems
Type 1 SPDs: Provides protection against direct lightning strikes and high-energy surges.
 
Type 2 SPDs: Protects against indirect lightning strikes and residual surges not mitigated by Type 1 SPDs.
 
Type 3 SPDs: Provides fine protection against low-energy transient surges.
