Lightning protection for generator containers

4 FAQs about [Lightning protection for generator containers]

How to protect the generator set from lightning?

The generator set directly connected to the overhead distribution line must be protected against lightning, and different lightning protection measures should be taken for the insulation of the generator set according to different conditions in accordance with the provisions of the national standard design code.

Do generators need lightning protection?

Theory and practice have proved that the generator set connected to the overhead transmission line through the transformer, as long as the transformer is reliably protected, generally does not need to take lightning protection measures for the generator set. In the mine area, there is no special overhead direct wiring.

What type of lightning arrester should I use for my Generator?

For the generator set with a line voltage of 6.3kV, FCD-4 or FZ-4 4kV arresters should be used. 10.5kV generator set should use FCD-6 or Fz-6 6kV lightning arrester. Jiangsu Starlight Power Generation Equipment Co., Ltd. was founded in 1974 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China.

How to prevent lightning wave on generator set?

For important generator sets, in order to prevent the lightning wave on the high voltage side of the transformer from endangering the insulation of the generator set through the transformer, it is advisable to install a set of magnetic blown arresters on the outgoing line of the generator set.
