Are there lightning protection measures for solar street lights? The lightning protection work for solar street lights differs from that of ordinary street lights mainly because the response speed of LEDs is faster while their voltage carrying capacity is smaller than that of conventional street lights.
Lightning protectors are designed based on the power supply voltage. During thunderstorms, LED street light circuits can be affected or damaged through electrostatic or electromagnetic induction.
Lightning protection is particularly important in open areas, mountainous regions, and areas prone to thunderstorms. How to effectively implement lightning protection for solar street lights is a major concern and technical challenge for many solar street light manufacturers. So how does Century Sunshine address this issue?
1. Grounding of solar street lights: This is the most crucial step, where the pole can serve as a drainage conductor. The grounding network is determined based on soil geology and grounding resistance.
2. Circuit: Install dedicated photovoltaic DC lightning protectors.
3. Direct lightning protection: Solar energy saving street lights only require the use of lightning rods as air terminals.
