Lightning Protection & Transient Analysis
Mitton ElectroNet offers lightning protection and analysis services to clients. We provide lightning risk analysis for sites and systems, investigation of incidents to determine the source of lightning related issues.
Our skilled team can help you with:
- Lightning protection for power system structures and earthing systems
- Transmission line shielding and earthing design
- Probabilistic analysis and computer modelling using Electromagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) software.
Our team has experience with the design of surge protection and earthing for electronic systems and the application of standards such as AS/NZS 1768.
The consequences of a lightning strike to industrial and power system plant can have significant implications, potentially resulting in damage to the associated control, instrumentation and power supply equipment.
Transient Analysis
Mitton ElectroNet operates PSCAD/EMTDC transient analysis software packages. PSCAD is an industry accepted tool for simulating power system transients such as capacitor switching, power electronic systems (HVDC, SVCs etc) and lightning phenomena.
