What are the safety precautions while using a wind vane?
Answers
Safety in wind turbines is prompted by hazardous weather, working at height, a potential for fires in the nacelle, and working around high voltage.
From lightning: wind turbine towers are a natural target for lightning strike. A main lightning discharge is characterized by rapidly rising current that peak at about 200,000 Amps and averages about 30,000A over it's duration .Eventhough the event is over in milliseconds, there is great potential for harm to personal and damage to equipment.Personal working around such a hazard that often strikes wind turbines want to know that they are safe when interesting a tower. Electrical grounding is the foundation for an expected level of safety and that begins with a properly designed and installed electrical grounding system.
