Strikesorb Technology for the Protection of Wind Turbines

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and benefits of Strikesorb technology for protecting wind turbines from electrical surges, particularly those caused by lightning. It outlines the electrical specifications, requirements for surge protective devices (SPDs), and the advantages of using Strikesorb modules.
Electrical Specifications: Strikesorb modules are classified under UL 1449 4th Edition and IEC 61643-11 standards. They are designed to handle various nominal operating AC voltages, maximum continuous operating AC voltages, and discharge currents. The modules can withstand maximum surge currents and impulse currents, with specific short-circuit current ratings (SCCR) for overcurrent protection.
Requirements for SPDs in Wind Turbines: SPDs must withstand lightning currents, have a long lifetime exceeding 20 years, provide continuous protection without disconnecting, and be maintenance-free. They should comply with global regulations to ensure compatibility in different countries.
Key Benefits of Strikesorb Technology: Strikesorb modules offer a maximum lightning current capacity of up to 25 kA, a proven lifetime of over 20 years, and a 10-year warranty. They allow direct installation on power lines, ensuring uninterrupted protection. The modules have a low protection level, are maintenance-free, and are dual-certified (UL/IEC) for global compliance.
Global Presence: Raycap, the manufacturer of Strikesorb, has locations worldwide, including the USA, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Cyprus, Romania, and China, ensuring a broad reach and support network.

Strikesorb Technology for the Protection of Wind Turbines-2

Lightning Protection Solutions for Wind TuiRequirements for Surge Protective Devices (SPD) to be used in wind turbine applications Withstand lightning currents The SPD will be exposed to locations where it must withstand lightning currents following a 10/350 waveform. Long lifetime The SPD should have a lifetime longer than the expected 20-year lifetime of a wind turbine. The SPD should never fail, even in harsh lightning environments, where exposure to direct lightning is much higher than average. Continuous and efficient protection of the equipment Under any condition, the SPD should always...
