It's widely reported that the solar industry has the resource potential to meet the global electrical power demands of every nation throughout the world. During 2015, solar beat out natural gas capacity additions with solar supplying 29.5% of all new electric generating capacity in the U.S. for the first time.
n this first part of four articles, we will cover the implementation of a low resistance, low impedance telecom grounding system from not only a practical viewpoint, but as it relates to Motorola R56 specifications.
Solar farms are just big fields covered with conductive material. They’re almost asking for a lightning strike, which can damage or destroy solar panels, inverters, and other critical equipment. So it’s no surprise that lightning activity and surge-related over-voltage [...]
ALLTEC's engineering manager Jim Grasty discusses the threat of lightning strikes on solar arrays and the surprising state of lightning protection at solar farms. Direct and indirect lightning strikes damage on solar arrays can vary from explosive destruction to [...]
Now, who is ALLTEC? That is the company that can give you end to end solutions for not only lightning protection, but surge protection in general. It’s not just about the big surges, it is about the breakdown of equipment over time.
Reportedly static electricity causes an average of 280 industrial incidents each year in the US alone. Additionally, static electricity is responsible for at least two serious industrial fires or explosions every day of the year somewhere in the world.
Lightning can occur during most storms, which means lightning is a threat everywhere. When it occurs, it can cause significant damage to your business operations, valuable assets, and critical electronics. Knowing proper lightning protection practices is ALLTEC’s expertise.
“I have a UPS, why do I need an SPD?” For over 15 years this has been a common objection dealt with on a regular basis. Following are some facts about UPS systems and their susceptibility issues, as well as some comments from IEEE.
At any moment there are almost two thousand thunderstorms in progress around the world. As a result the atmosphere endures around 100 lightning strikes per second, or about 8,640,000 times each day.
Metal Architecture Publishes ALLTEC Article on Lightning Protection Systems for Military Metal Shelters. Whether the metal structure is at an oil/gas/petrochemical facility with attendant hazardous environment or a mission-critical military installation, electronics, and personnel considerations demand overall [...]
