Energy and Power Industries Worldwide to Benefit from Vaisala's Enhanced High Current Winter Lightning Detection Capability

16.7.2010

Electric power transmission systems depend increasingly on lightning location information in the design, monitoring and maintenance of their operations. High current lightning strokes are a significant threat to the dependability of electric power transmission, because they can do severe damage to power lines. Being able to detect and locate these events means savings in both time and money as the fault locations can be found more quickly, and electricity can be re-routed to a different path.
