Customer ServiceIn addition to the organization of external lightning protection systems of a temple, one should not forget about the provision of internal lightning protection systems: SPD, RCD, APS, etc., since the failure of the power supply system leads to a shutdown of life support systems, such as fire fighting and alarm systems, ventilation and air conditioning, etc.
Customer ServiceThe lightning protection of photovoltaic installations is of great importance, in order to warrant the uninterrupted operation of the system and avoid faults and damages of the equipment. Atmospheric discharges influence the proper operation of the photovoltaic generators and their installation, involving also sensitive electronic equipment.
Therefore, their lightning protection is of great importance for uninterrupted operation, avoidance of faults, and equipment damage . Zaini et al. offered a reference for installing surge protection devices for PV systems to minimize potential damage in the Malaysian environment as the country is prone to frequent lightning strikes.
The German VdS 2010 brochure (Risk-oriented lightning and surge protec-tion) published by the German Insurance Association (GDV) requires that lightning protection measures (class of LPS III) be taken for PV systems > 10 kW of objects with alternative renewable power supply systems.
The energy released by a lightning discharge is one of the most frequent causes of fire. Therefore, personal and fire protection is of paramount importance in case of a direct lightning strike to the building. At the design stage of a PV system, it is evident whether a lightning protection system is installed on a building.
When installing the external lightning protection system, it must be observed that solar cells are not shaded, for example, by air-termination rods. Diffuse shadows, which occur in case of distant rods or conductors, do not negatively affect the PV system and the yield.
This guideline also requires that LPL III and thus a lightning protection system accord-ing to class of LPS III be installed for rooftop PV systems (> 10 kWp) and that surge protection measures be taken. As a general rule, rooftop photovoltaic systems must not interfere with the existing lightning pro-tection measures.
