Lightning protection in photovoltaic (PV) systems is a critical area of study as these installations are increasingly exposed to atmospheric discharges that can substantially disrupt energy production ...

The share of wind power in total electric power generation is expected to increase, and with that comes a requirement for this carbon-free source to be more reliable. The most important component of a ...

Megger has enhanced its KC series of test leads used with wind turbines. KC-C test leads are lightweight, making them safe for use at heights, and are designed to work with Megger’s DLRO2 low ...

Residential PV systems are generally installed on the rooftop of residential buildings, with a large metal surface area, higher distance from the ground and an exposed location. Such PV systems are ...

Ed Lobnitz, retired principal/senior electrical engineer at TLC Engineering Solutions, wrote the chapter on lightning protection for towers that has appeared in several editions of the NAB Engineering ...

It's a common mistake to test something other than the grounding system and then conclude the grounding system is good, regardless of its actual (and unknown) condition. That mistake, in turn, leads ...

One of the less-common contracting specialties in northern New England is lightning protection for structures. Although damaging lightning strikes to buildings are less common here than in other ...

When a 2018 lightning strike knocked out power at New York’s Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, operating room humidity controls failed. As a result, the hospital was forced to postpone dozens of ...
