Isolated Lightning Protection for Solar Plant

Solar power plants need isolated lightning protection because they are often located in exposed areas. In isolated lightning protection, the air terminal is mounted on a mast of a certain height to provide appropriate elevation as per the design and is placed away from the solar panel/panels to be protected. Solar lightning arrestors are typically installed on the roofs of buildings to provide a path for lightning strikes to be grounded. A lightning arrester kit includes a high-voltage terminal...
