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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Testing verifies that protection schemes meet their intended purpose, ensuring safety and system integrity. Function testing involves manual or electrical manipulation of components to confirm signal ...

ORLANDO, Fla. – Every year, lightning strikes cause house fires, power surges, and costly property damage. It happened just last week in Ormond Beach — but the good news is, many of these impacts are ...

Electronically non-conductive ladder fall protection system makes working on lightning towers at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center safer and more efficient. Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center ...
