This Technical Specification applies to surge protection of wind turbine generators and wind power systems. Normative references are made to generic standards for lightning protection, low-voltage systems and high-voltage systems for machinery and installations and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This Technical Specification defines requirements for selection and installation of surge protective devices for the power circuits. Some special information about particular testing are also included since there is not a current standard for testing surge protective devices for wind turbines.
