Power Generation Stations and Substations
nVent ERICO understands the unique challenges and risks various types of power generation stations face and is well versed in relevant compliance standards throughout the world (IEEE, IEC, UL, etc.). Every type of power generation station, including coal-fired, natural gas, nuclear, hydro-electric and renewables (solar and wind), requires electrical protection. A trusted industry partner, nVent ERICO has helped develop solutions for power generation stations that are now the standard. With this legacy and experience, nVent ERICO is now serving the next generation of renewables with the same reliable, resilient and efficient solutions that connect and protect critical structures and equipment.
- Substation exposure to lightning strikes, ground faults and transient surges put people and equipment at risk.
- Electronic equipment in substations can be damaged by normal switching surges and other unfavorable conditions (electrical noise, ground potential rise and occasional induced or direct lightning impulses).
- nVent ERICO is a leading provider of electrical protection solutions for substation applications. We bring a comprehensive, systematic approach to substation electrical protection.
