Technical FAQs 4

Why do battery energy storage systems need grounding and bonding?

For grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), grounding and bonding is essential for safety and performance. The goal of grounding and bonding is to achieve customer-targeted resistance levels. These low resistance levels allow fault currents to easily discharge into the ground, protecting people, equipment and the BESS itself.

How to protect high-end electronics in storage containers?

In addition, battery storage for the power grid forms the basis for energy management (so-called “peak shaving”). In order to provide optimum protection for the high-end electronics in storage containers, one needs a comprehensive lightning and surge protection system.

What is a lightning protection system?

A lightning protection system not only protects the solar PV system but also provides reliable protection to your entire property and assets while safely diverting transient currents to the ground.

Are lightning arrestors and surge protectors a substitute for good grounding?

Lightning arrestors and surge protectors are designed to protect electronic equipment by absorbing electrical surges. However, these devices are not a substitute for good grounding. They function only in conjunction with effective grounding. The grounding system is an important part of your wiring infrastructure.
