When thunderstorms occur, it is essential to ensure adequate lightning protection for
LED solar street lights
. Many modern solar street lights are made of conductive materials, effectively acting as lightning rods. It is crucial to install down conductors and grounding systems during the design phase to form an external lightning protection system. This system helps prevent fires and hazardous incidents caused by direct lightning strikes on
LED solar street lights
.
The internal lightning protection system involves protecting the equipment through grounding and voltage protection inside the lights. This system can prevent induced lightning and other forms of overvoltage from damaging the power source, which external systems cannot guarantee. Both systems complement and support each other.
1. Protective grounding: To prevent electrical leakage from endangering personal safety and equipment, all accessible conductive parts of electrical equipment should be grounded using grounding wires that meet the leakage protection device’s installation and activation requirements.
2. Working grounding: Directly ground the neutral point of the low-voltage power network, ensuring the system’s grounding resistance is less than 10Ω.
3. Lightning protection grounding: To prevent electrical equipment from lightning strikes, ground lightning rods, lightning wires, and lightning arresters. The grounding resistance should be less than 10Ω.
4. Zero connection: Connect the metal shells and frames of electrical equipment to the neutral ground wire. The grounding wire should be made of insulated wire, with no joints in the middle. The grounding wire for lightning arresters should be as short as possible. For protective devices, the cross-sectional area of the phase line S≤16mm²; if 16
