High Performance Surge Protection Device

Wind turbine is a source of generation of electrical energy from wind’s kinetic energy. It has achieved acceptance in various countries and produce electricity in wide range like 39% in Denmark, 18% in Portugal, 16% in Spain, 14% in Ireland and 9% in Germany. Approx 83 countries around the world are using wind power on commercial basis. A wind turbine is approx 100 meters long or more. The turbines are rarely situated in towns. It is generally located on smooth hilltop or some suppliers provide towers or poles, often several meters high to generate extra energy. Due to their larger height, they are at high risk of lightning. The surges generated by lightning can damage it incurably. The lightning generates sudden over voltages in wind mills due to its direct or indirect effect. A single wind mill is highly expensive and surges results in tremendous financial damage. The main target is to avoid lightning effect on rotor blades, swiveling parts and bearings. To protect from d
