This article is a knowledge article that continues the digital lightning protection series.
The pictures in this article have been re-conceived independently according to the article's theme. All pictures are centered around the knowledge points of this article, and cross-article general templates are no longer used.
1. Why are the risks in these scenarios more prominent?
These scenarios often have important assets, exposed locations, complex systems, and long operation and maintenance distances.
Once the lightning protection system fails, it will not only affect a single device, but may also affect sites, equipment links and even business continuity.
2. Why do wind power and photovoltaics need digital lightning protection?
The height of wind power and the large photovoltaic area make it easy to be exposed to lightning environments.
Such distributed assets require remote recording of lightning strike events, SPD status, and grounding changes.
3. Why do communication base stations need digital lightning protection?
Communication base stations are widely distributed, and many sites are unattended or have few people on duty.
Digital lightning protection can reduce second-guessing and blind order dispatch.
4. Why do data centers need digital lightning protection?
Data centers have extremely high requirements for continuity.
Lightning protection status should be included in the infrastructure operation monitoring system.
5. The more complex the scene, the more digital lightning protection is needed.
The more complex the scenario, the more necessary it is to upgrade from on-site experience to data judgment.
Digital lightning protection creates a closed loop between lightning strikes, lightning protection, grounding, equipment and operation and maintenance.
Conclusion: From single point protection to long-term status management
The core of digital lightning protection is not to rebrand traditional lightning protection, but to move the lightning protection system from static installation to long-term status management.
When events, status, trends and actions can all be recorded, the lightning protection system truly has the ability to continuously improve.
Micro-IoT technology will continue to share content related to intelligent lightning protection, electrical safety early warning, digital power distribution, energy supervision and industrial Internet of Things.
Micro-IoT/FEXLINK uses data to reconstruct energy efficiency and electrical safety.
Where there is electricity, there is micro-IoT.
