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 ...

Any facility’s investment in security, life-safety, surveillance and other AV technologies can be disabled or rendered useless in just a few seconds without surge protection solutions in place. In ...

Historically, electrical contractors have installed lightning protection systems. Over the years, however, specialty trades became popular — especially when workloads became heavy. In those cases, it ...

Annually, lightning strikes cause damage to facilities, disruption of work, injuries, and deaths in some cases. Although we in the United States have made progress in our protecting of structures, ...

In the era of advanced technologies and widely used lightning protection installations, i.e. popular lightning rods, many of us may wonder whether there is a real risk of damage to our home electrical ...

Reference [1] describes a process for the design of lightning protection that transforms the transient experienced by the components during the lightning test transient into the reference transients ...
