Introduction
Diesel generators (DG) supply standby electricity to various installations, including industries, medical institutions, data processing facilities, and commercial premises. Surges caused by lightning strikes and transients resulting from the process of electrical switching may lead to damage to the circuits of generator controlling devices, automatic voltage regulators (AVR), automatic transfer switching (ATS), and control panels.
Surge protection for DG stations and generator control panels being efficient reduces the chances of causing damage to equipment, downtime, electrical hazards, and operational interruption. Proper selection of surge protective devices (SPDs), grounding, and bonding are important for the functioning of reliable standby power systems.
