Lightning protection for container generators

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.

How do you protect a container home from lightning?

Proper lightning protection includes rods, grounding, and surge protection for electrical systems. For storm resistance, container homes must be anchored and reinforced to handle high winds. Regular inspections and early warning systems are crucial for maintaining safety.

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.
