Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Are Protected with Yılkomer

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular due to their clean energy, fast, economical, and quiet features. As Yılkomer, we share the necessary precautions with investors to prevent damage to electric vehicle charging stations, which are starting to spread across our country, from electrical surges and lightning strikes.

Charging stations are the most important complementary systems of electric vehicles; however, a possible lightning strike can cause the circuits of electric vehicle charging stations to burn as a result of its propagation through the ground. In this regard, Raycap has customized its Strikesorb and Safetec technology products to protect charging stations against lightning and transient overvoltage surges.

In order to prevent damage to charging stations acquired through investments in e-mobility systems, they must be protected in the most comprehensive manner.

We recommend to our customers and valuable investors in our country the solutions of our partner Raycap, which are used by many major charging station manufacturers worldwide.

Here, electric charging stations are installed in many places such as homes, park-and-ride areas, multi-storey car parks, underground car parks, bus stops (electric buses), etc. Today, an increasing number of charging stations (both AC and DC) are being installed in semi-public and public areas, and therefore there is growing interest in comprehensive protection concepts. These vehicles are very expensive; the rate of being affected by lightning and surge risks in these investments is very high. As a result of lightning and surges, electronic circuits, meters, and communication systems may be damaged. Satellite systems where charging points are interconnected can be immediately destroyed by a single lightning strike.

A lightning strike at a nearby point to the charging station will frequently damage the station. Therefore, it is likely that such surges may damage the vehicle during a charging process. Electric vehicles typically have electrical power up to 2,500 V, but a lightning strike can generate voltages 20 times higher than this. Protect your investments – prevent damage. Depending on the location and type of the threat, an individually adapted lightning and overvoltage protection concept is required. In this regard, as Yılkomer, we recommend the combined products of our partner Raycap. You can find some of the products we recommend below.
