Surge Protectors for WindTurbines

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Wind turbines are highly susceptible to lightning strikes and transient overvoltages due to their height and isolated locations. To ensure operational reliability, surge protectors are essential for safeguarding internal equipment such as generators, control systems, and sensors.

Types of Surge Protectors

Type 1 Surge Protectors: Designed for AC networks that may receive part of the lightning current (e.g., DS253VG-690).
Type 2 Surge Protectors: Used for AC networks exposed to induced or coupled surges (e.g., DAC50S-30, DU33S-1000/WD).
Communication Network Protectors: Protectors for communication networks or sensors (e.g., DLU or DLA range).

Product Specifications

DAC40C-11: Single-phase Type 2 SPD, nominal discharge current 20 kA, maximal discharge current 40 kA, DIN Rail mounting.
DS253VG-690: 3-phase Type 1+2+3 SPD, nominal discharge current 30 kA, maximal discharge current 100 kA, DIN Rail mounting.
DU33S-1000/WD/G: 3-phase Type 2 SPD, nominal discharge current 15 kA, maximal discharge current 100 kA, DIN Rail mounting.

Obstruction Lighting
OBSTA obstruction lighting is available in various configurations, including white, red, and bi-color options, with power supplies of 48 Vdc or 120/230 Vac. The lighting features different luminous outputs and beam spreads for day and night visibility.

Windmill generators are equipment especially exposed to the risks of lightning and transitory overvoltages : due to their height and to their location on high or/and isolated spots, the probability of direct lightning strikes is much higher than for traditional installations. In case of lightning strike, windmill generators are usually designed to drain the lightning current in a safe way, but internal equipments OBSTRUCTION LIGHTING (generator, management, control/commands, sensors….) will be submitted to transient surges induced by the phenomena. In order to ensure the necessary operation and...
