These sensors need SPD that is
designed withstand not just the measurement sig-
nal itself, but also large nominal load currents. This magnetic field can
penetrate the conductor loops power and sys-
tems within wind power plant. This process based the law induction
and can represented follows:

Despite its small installation width, this high-perform-
ance surge arrestor developed for use wind power
plants suitable for the high requirements large

protect even high-bandwidth sensors simply yet effect-
ively.
Recommended installation locations wind power

Because the coupled surge voltage always both
ends the cable, each device inside the structure
must protected. Most
sensors used locations this kind are fitted with a

Chapter The internal lightning protection system
. The mutual induct-
ances, that form, can induce large surge voltages
which can disrupt even destroy electronic compon-
ents.
The large impulse currents produced, with their rapid
rise times, generate magnetic field that changes
over time and which spreads outwards concentrically
from the lightning channel. Lightning and surge protection required to
protect the electronic controls and speed control
against failure.
Taking account the sensors wind power plants
The latest wind power plants use so-called pitch con-
trols. Because, particularly large wind
power plants, long cable lengths with large surface
areas are not uncommon, surge protection device
(SPD) should fitted immediately before each the
sensitive devices within the bus.4. areas high hu-
midity and low temperatures, the sensor can freeze,
which can impair the measurement signal. Different power networks and voltages can be
encountered wind power plants: 230/400 and
400/690 Particularly 400/690 networks, spe-
cial requirements relating surge voltage protection
