Characteristics Of Wind Power Surge Protector

Wind power generation refers to a power generation method that converts wind energy into electrical energy by rotating blades with wind power. It has low pollution and does not need to consider fuel and radiation issues. It is a power generation method that is increasingly valued. However, wind power stations are usually built on plateaus or at sea, which are areas with high incidence of lightning, so special attention should be paid to lightning protection design. So what kind of surge protector is needed for wind power lightning protection? What is the difference between it and ordinary surge protectors? What do we need to pay attention to? The following editor will explain the characteristics of wind power surge protectors.

Characteristics of electric surge protective device, because the wind speed is not a stable value, the electricity generated by the wind turbine is usually AC, which requires a series of conversions. Not only that, the rotor stator and other AC power generation parts of the motor may be affected by harmonics. Therefore, the surge protector used in wind power is usually an AC surge protection device. Its main feature is that it needs an isolation module to prevent the influence of harmonics. This isolation module can usually isolate transient overvoltages above 1000V to protect the surge protector from normal operation. In addition, since wind turbines usually have more violent vibrations, wind power surge protectors also have requirements for earthquake resistance. In addition to installing power surge protectors, wind power also needs to install signal lightning arresters to ensure smooth signal flow and prevent lightning surges from affecting signals and signal equipment.
