due to lightning currents and surges can be avoided. This pensable for the safe operation and availability of wind
increases the availability of the wind turbine in the long turbines. This is ensured by the LifeCheck arrester moni-

network.

application in wind turbines are vibration- and shock-tested
in compliance with IEC 60068-2.
