With the widespread use of new energy in recent years, wind energy, solar energy, hydropower, etc. have gradually occupied a certain market in the energy market, effectively alleviating the energy crisis caused by the depletion of traditional energy sources. Among them, the widespread use of solar energy occupies an important position in the new energy market. Not only industrial and commercial power generation but also residential solar power generation is becoming more and more popular in the market. Therefore, lightning protection for solar energy is extremely important. The main steps for lightning protection of photovoltaic power plants are as follows: 1. According to the range, height, and installation position of the solar cell array, and by the requirements of GB50057 "Design Code for Lightning Protection of Buildings", lightning protection pins, lightning strips, lightning wires, and lightning nets should be installed to prevent direct lightning strikes. The height and number of lightning rods should be calculated according to the rolling ball method and installed in a reasonable layout. 2. Large photovoltaic power stations can be equipped with air-termination pins and towers to protect against direct lightning strikes. The air-termination pins installed in large-scale photovoltaic power stations should be at least 3m away from the edge of the photovoltaic cell module bracket. The grounding points of the down conductor for direct lightning protection and the down conductor for safety protection on the ground network should be at least 10m apart. The cross-sectional area of the lightning-receiving wire should be determined from the length and width of the photovoltaic cell module group and is generally not less than 25mm2 steel strand. 3. When photovoltaic cell modules are installed on the roof slope, lightning strips should be installed. The air-termination strap should not be connected to the aluminum alloy frame and brackets around the solar panel. The air-terminating tape should be installed with a down conductor every 18m to connect to the ground grid. 4. The aluminum alloy frames and brackets around the solar panels should be connected and connected at equal potential. According to the size of the battery module, more than two grounding wires should be installed through the steel pipe or connected to the grounding grid with a shielded wire as a safety protection ground. 5. The entry points of the down conductor for direct lightning protection and the down conductor for safety protection on the ground network should be more than 10m apart to prevent high-potential counterattacks from lightning strikes.

Not only provide high-quality products that meet user needs but also ...

As a well-known lightning protection brand in China, Anhui Jinli has been committed to the electrical safety of electrical systems and focused on lightning protection technology for electrical systems. It has 18 years of research and development experience. The backup protectors and surge protectors produced are of various types, novel styles, and high quality, which can meet the needs of different customers. To better serve customers, it should be noted that backup protectors and surge protectors are not the same. They are different in function, installation location, and role. 1) Surge protector. Also known as overvoltage protectors, they are used to protect electronic equipment from overvoltage damage. When voltage surges or transients occur in the circuit, surge protectors can guide these overvoltages to the ground or normal power supply. To protect the protected equipment, it is usually installed in front of the terminal equipment. 2) Backup protector. It is a backup power device that is used to provide a short-term power guarantee when the main power supply fails or the power supply is interrupted. It can enable the power equipment to maintain normal operation under abnormal conditions such as power outage, unstable voltage, high or low frequency, etc. Electrical equipment operates normally and is usually installed in front of a surge protector. It should be noted that the back protector must be installed. It cooperates with the surge protector and is indispensable to protect the circuit from damage.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, a study by Georges, Thomas, and others concluded that modern power grids are inherently susceptible to overvoltage because they employ equipment with low insulation levels, which is the root cause of more than 40% of unexpected electronic equipment failures. The cause was a lightning strike. Therefore, the field performance of surge protective devices (SPDs) has been extensively studied since the surge protection of low-voltage power supplies, where the power grid's reliability is crucial.  Accurate SPD modeling is necessary to assess overvoltage mitigation properly, assess stress on protected equipment, and conduct sound risk assessment studies for direct and indirect lightning-related surges. The experimental method for modeling they proposed is: a generalized equivalent lumped circuit model for surge protectors, which includes: 1) Integrating the inherent capacitance C S and switch S(V,t) of the voltage switching element (spark gap, gas tube, etc.), the switch is closed when overvoltage causes SPD to flash; if there is no voltage switching element (voltage limiting SPD), then the rectangular dashed box in Figure 4 can be replaced by an ideal short circuit. 2) Nonlinear current-dependent resistance R(i); the latter is mainly dominated by the field-dependent resistivity of voltage-limiting components (varistors, avalanche diodes, etc.), and is supplemented by the current-dependent arc resistance of voltage switching components; R(i) also Contains the inherent resistance of the SPD conductive path. 3) Inductance L, related to the inherent inductance of the SPD conductive path and the similar inductive behavior of the protection components, especially the hole effect when conducting surge current through the varistor. 4) Capacitance C R represents the inherent capacitance of the voltage limiting component; resistance R S determines the minimum resistive leakage current of the voltage switching component; if there is no voltage limiting component (voltage switch SPD), C R can be replaced by an ideal open circuit, and C S, R S should be connected in parallel to R(i) and S(V,t) in series, that is, between B and C'. Since its establishment in 2006, Jinli Electric has been deeply involved in surge protectors for nearly two decades, adhering to the corporate mission of "creating the world's No. 1 lightning protection brand to protect users from lightning intrusion". Self-developed and produced surge protectors for charging piles, such as JLSP-BC15, are deeply loved and trusted by the majority of users.

The surge protector, referred to as SPD, is installed on a 35MM standard rail. For fixed SPD surge protectors, the following steps should be followed for routine installation. First, determine the discharge current path. Second, are the wires marked for the extra voltage drop caused at the equipment terminals? Third, to avoid unnecessary inductive loops, the PE conductor of each device should be marked. Fourth, establish an equipotential connection between the equipment and the Surge protective device. Fifth, it is necessary to coordinate the energy of multi-level SPD. Precautions during installation: The most important thing during installation is the power-off operation. In addition, to limit the inductive coupling between the protected part and the unprotected equipment part after installation, certain measurements are required. Usually, we separate protected conductors from unprotected conductors, and also separate ground wires. Install according to the guide rail, and check whether the equipment can work normally after successful installation. As a well-known lightning protection brand in China, Anhui Jinli has been committed to the electrical safety of electrical systems and focused on lightning protection technology for electrical systems.

Solar arrays are also electronic devices and therefore can be damaged by surges as well. Solar panels are particularly vulnerable to lightning strikes due to their large surface area and placement in exposed locations, such as on rooftops or the ground in open spaces. So it is very important to protect it from lightning or surge damage. To choose the appropriate surge protective devices model for your solar/photovoltaic system, the following points should be kept in mind: 1. Lightning circular flash density; 2. The operating temperature of the system; 3. System voltage; 4. The rated short-circuit current of the system; 5. The waveform level to be protected. 6. Nominal discharge current.
