6 FAQs about [Wind turbine generator protection]
How can wind turbines be protected?
Another protection measure for wind turbines is the replacement of cables by bus bars. Unlike PVC-insulated cables, busbars have a low fire potential. In addition, the busbars can have an epoxy coating that makes them more resistant to aging and can increase the protection for the conductors.
What is a wind turbine protection system?
5.1.2 Minimizing the risk of electrical systems The protection technology, which comprises any electrical installations as well as measures for identifying power system faults and other abnormal operating conditions at wind turbines and the associated peripheral systems, shall be state of the art and comply with current national standards.
How to protect a wind turbine from a fire?
Insulation defects can represent a danger for fire and maintenance personnel who can receive a strong electric shock . Residual current measurement devices must be installed in such a way as to disconnect the affected circuit and prevent fires. Another protection measure for wind turbines is the replacement of cables by bus bars.
