Surge protection devices (SPDs) will mitigate many common electrical problems experienced by agriculture applications.
It can dramatically improve the total operating efficiency and reliability of the electrical system.
Common problems associated with surges and transients include:
Optimizing the Benefits of Dual-Use Farming and Agriculture:
surge protection addressing a multitude of applications unique to farming communities, including:
If the PV field is equipped with lightning rod systems (rods, open-air wiring…) Type 1 surge protectors are compulsory at the AC input.
On the DC side, Type 1 surge protectors are compulsory at the inverters’ DC output as defined by CLC/TS 50539-12.
Due to the long lengths of cabling required to connect numerous strings running throughout the PV farm, additional surge protectors are required at the input of the PV modules as well.
Depending on the level of lightning strike in the installation area, a Type 2 SPD on the DC network at the inverter input may be required. In the presence of non-isolated lightning rod, a Type 1 SPD is required.
If the length of conductor between the surge protector in the main panel and the PV inverter exceeds 10 m, a Type 2 surge protector must be installed on the AC side of the inverter.
Agrivoltaic sites have a high risk of being subjected to lightning surges because of the surface area exposed, the risk of direct impact, the long lengths of conductor deployment and the excessive operating losses: it will therefore be compulsory to install lightning arresters at key points in the installation.
