Smart transmitter
Thread Content
One smart transmitter has been damaged by lightning strikes. How can such situations be avoided?
Check the lightning protection facilities of nearby buildings. If there is no need to add.
1. Check the system grounding; generally, it should be less than 4 ohms. Also, check if there are any large electrical systems in the vicinity, as strong currents can flow in from there during thunderstorms
With so many lightning strikes in your area, install some lightning protection measures
The transmitter should be installed on top of the device, which indicates that the lightning protection system for your company’s devices is inadequate. It’s unlikely that a simple transmitter will be struck by lightning directly; please share the exact location of the transmitter so that we can analyze it.
Checking the case grounding – our field instruments have also been struck by lightning; just one direct strike is enough to scare us to death
There’s no good solution for this; such situations occur very rarely
Install a protective box or insulated box, and ensure proper grounding of the box
This situation should be very difficult to occur; since it has happened, it is necessary to check whether there are any issues with the lightning protection systems of the production equipment. Considering only the grounding of instruments, I believe that this does not solve the problem.
