Strikesorb Technology in Wind Turbines-2

Requirements 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 protect the equipment. This means that...
