LED municipal solar street lights have been highly valued in recent years due to their energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics. They charge during the day and provide illumination at night without the need for complicated wiring, featuring advanced technology, low maintenance costs, energy efficiency, and durability, thus conserving resources for cities and aligning with the green development concepts of energy conservation and emission reduction. Are you aware of a hidden design principle? This refers to the different types of lightning protection design for solar street light power supplies.
1. Direct Lightning
Direct lightning contains immense energy, and the peak voltage can reach 5000kV. When lightning current flows to the ground, it can cause significant damage. The effects include: (1) A massive electric current flowing to the ground within microseconds can rapidly increase the ground potential, leading to backfire accidents that threaten personal safety and equipment. (2) The lightning current generates strong electromagnetic waves, inducing high pulse voltages on power and signal lines. (3) When lightning current flows through electrical equipment, it can generate extreme heat, potentially causing fires or explosions.
2. Conducted Lightning
Lightning strikes hitting power lines from a distance or produce high voltage through electromagnetic induction, transmitting voltage from outdoor power and communication lines to electrical devices inside buildings.
3. Induced Lightning
Frequent discharges between clouds generate strong electromagnetic waves that lead to common-mode and differential-mode interference, affecting the operation of electrical equipment.
4. Switching Overvoltage
Inductive and capacitive loads in power supply systems can cause high-voltage pulses on power lines during switching operations, short circuits to ground, or power line short circuits. The pulse voltage can reach 3 to 5 times the normal voltage, potentially causing severe equipment damage, with destructive effects similar to those of lightning strikes.
