CAUSES OF WEATHER STATION FAILURES


Protect your weather station from natural causes of electrical failures:

  • Lightning induced EMC
  • Ground lightning induced Surge
  • Cloud-to-Ground (CG) lightning induced high current transients
  • Fast high-voltage transients induced from Cloud-to-Cloud lightning
  • Electromagnetic Impulse (EMI) induced transients and surges on sensor wires
  • Heavy industrial equipment induced electrical transients
  • Ground loop potential differences
  • Dry lighting discharge

Protect your weather station from human and accidental causes of electrical failures:

  • Operator reverse polarity connections
  • Bad electrical connections
  • Sensor failures and sensor short-circuits
  • Static electricity discharge from operators
  • Static discharge of electrical buildup in sand storm conditions
  • Short circuits caused by:
    • Animals chewing through electrical connections
    • Human error bad electrical connections
  • Static discharge into equipment during blowing snow conditions
