How much and share pics

alstacs:

Than you very much. Got mine (an AC and A DC surge protector) from @Zeestone99 here.

I'm so scared these days that at the sound or sight impending rain, I shut down my system immediately, despite
1. Proper earthing of the house
2. Lightning arrestor on the roof
3. This surge protector for AC and DC.

I hope I'll come out of this fear soon sha but I don't wanna lose another inverter.

samnaija:
Like what oga niyi said, apart from the arrestor, I also linked all the panels and earth them on a separate rod.

Materials for lightning arrestor not thunder.
The arrestor it self, copper tape, and earth rod, charcoal and lime.
Also it is good you procure it, but physics tells us if you are surrounded by taller structures the lightening will likely hit the structure or building before your bungalow. I am not surrounded by any structure open space, so lightening dey always find me, this was the 4th strike.

alstacs:



I empathize with those who lost parts of their systems as a result of lightning. I have been a victim as well. My lightning surge protector on the roof is superb with its earthing but it didn't stop my CCTV and inverter from getting roasted.
Nice enlightenment in your post sir but I want to ask about a different type of surge protector I saw and installed.
Does this also work line the Midnite one? Seems to be on the high side in cost compared to others.

Please see this below

NiyiOmoIyunade:
4 strikes! You have angered the Asgardian Thor it seems

earthrealm:


You earthing and or arrestor isnt properly done.
Read up on how to do a proper lightning n earthing ops...n also proper way to connect the SPD, u will definitely realize the source of your problem.

Trust no one.

I encouraged a ffriend to buy 8 pieces of 300w panels+ hv hibrid inverter.
Do you know a ''reputable" installer connected the panels in a 3_2_3 config, n turned around to conclude the hybrid inverter was defective

samnaija:

Niyi I even started suspecting direct transmission from the village. The last strike was the worst 2 inverters the same time.
Before maybe 1 inverter in 3 yr. The cost and stress of acquiring and installing the arrestor in a finished house always put me off. So I pray no sms from village people, Thor or sango go near my building again.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
There are three key elements to picking a surge protection device

1) The advertised clamp voltage rating - the max voltage your protected devices will see in case of a hit

2) The advertised amount of fault current the device can safely arrest and divert

3) The actual ability of the device to deliver on the advertised promises - this is where the Midnite SPD excels - it does indeed deliver on the advertised promises - a lot of other devices are just marketing and no substance.

With surges and lightning hits, you typically only get one chance, your chosen SPD had better be able to deliver when called upon.

My house once took a direct hit. The Midnite SPD stood up to it and was completely destroyed but nothing was damaged in the house

This is a good one. That was the question I asked my electrician that with all these protection in the house, earthing of the panels, surge protectors etc.., what happens if there is a surge from any of the 3 phases of the transformer?
I guess this should come to the rescue?

@Durodee

samnaija:


From the transformer, the protection I have is a general stabilizer for the entire house. This also protects from generator and nepa surges. Before the stabilizer my standing fans and inverter usually gets toast.

earthrealm:

Unless ur generator is a big diesel type..hooking it upto gen isnt so good.
Why not consider using AVP, has a small physical and energy footprint
