Testing wind turbine lightning protection
The most significant danger facing wind turbines is damage from lightning strikes. Lightning faults cause more loss in wind turbine availability and production than the average fault. The number of failures due to lightning strikes is known to increase with tower height and a growing number of studies speculate that rotating wind turbines may be more susceptible to lightning strikes than stationary structures.

Determining harmonic direction
Harmonics are caused by non-linear loads. Linear loads draw a linear current that follows the changing voltage of the AC waveform. Non-linear loads draw current pulses periodically, which creates distorted waveforms.
