LED Street Lights Avoid Lightning Solutions

Study found several effective ways to prevent LED street lamp damage from lighting.

1.      External lightning protection combined with internal lightning protection
Now the general LED lights exterior are the conductor material which is equivalent to a lightning rod, the design must be installed deflectors and ground network, these systems constitute the external lightning protection system. The system can prevent LED street lights from fire and cause personal safety incidents due to direct lightning. Internal lightning protection system refers to the internal street through the ground, set the voltage protection, and protection of equipment. The system prevents lightning overvoltages and other forms of invasion, destruction caused by the power, which is the external lightning protection system can’t be guaranteed. Between the two are mutually reinforcing and complementary. Internal lightning protection systems in many devices such as housing, access to protected areas and cable, metal pipes, etc. must be connected to the external lightning protection system or set overvoltage protection, and equipotential bonding.
