<\/p>\nAs Y\u0131lkomer, we strive to explain the negative effects of lightning impulses at every opportunity, but as a result of lightning strikes that occurred across our country in the last 3 months, many facilities have suffered serious damage. Many facilities such as wind turbines, solar power plants, gas stations, and factories, examples of which we can multiply, have unfortunately been damaged as a result of lightning impulses.<\/p>\n
The lightning strike that fell on a gas station in Antalya was of a lesson nature. The lightning impulse, which makes us question the current regulations and protection measures in our country, fell right next to the lightning rod while a vehicle was refueling; both the station and the vehicle burned seriously, and many electrical systems in the facility and its surroundings were damaged. As a result, the facility has been out of order for 1 month, and no one can guarantee that the same situation will not happen again when it is renewed;<\/p>\n
You can see the damage caused to the facility from the relevant photos;<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The existing lightning rod<\/strong> in the relevant facility did not catch the lightning because, in fact, a scenario occurred highlighting the necessity for us to take additional measures according to the rolling sphere method in empty areas, considering that lightning rods also work according to a protection angle method. In addition, there were no protection measures in electrical systems. Telecom lines, power lines, and automation lines were exposed. Therefore, the importance of implementing a cascaded protection LV surge arrester<\/strong> system within the scope of IEC 62305 standards emerged. Especially the impulse coming from the telecom line caused serious damage to the facility.<\/p>\n In conclusion, we need to provide the 4-way protection foreseen by the IEC 62305 Standard throughout the facility. Relying only on the lightning rod system and leaving electrical lines exposed, not using Passive systems as a protection measure, performing uninsulated down conductions, and not paying attention to the concept of equipotential lead to many negative consequences;<\/p>\n It is extremely important to take our facility under protection as a precaution in the first place to prevent such negative situations from happening.<\/p>\n You can have your facility taken under protection by Y\u0131lkomer Engineers by having a lightning protection risk analysis done within the scope of the IEC 62305 Standard.<\/p>\n As Y\u0131lkomer, we strive to explain the negative effects of lightning impulses at every opportunity, but as a result of lightning strikes that occurred across our [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[193],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"lightning](\"https:\/\/yilkomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m\u0131n-hasarlar\u0131-1-scaled.jpg\")
