But not all lightning is the same. During a thunderstorm, two types can occur: so-called downward and upward lightning.<\/p>\n<p>Upward lightning in particular poses an increasing danger to wind turbines due to its more initial continuous current (ICC) lasting approximately much longer than the current of downward lightning. Therefore, upward lightning is the most common weather-related cause of fires or serious damage to rotor blades.**<\/p>\n<p>However, a lightning strike does not always have to lead to a turbine fire. It can also result in minor damage, which is often not recognized until late, while significantly shortening the blade\u2019s service life.<\/p>\n<p>What is the best way to react in the event of a lightning strike?[\/vc_column_text]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-7116a815cac5bf6d\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-7116a815cac5bf6d uvc-2564  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-7116a815cac5bf6d h2'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h2 style=\"--font-weight:theme;margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:32px;\">Are you aware if your turbine was hit?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1708420702623{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;]First and foremost, it&#8217;s crucial to swiftly determine whether a wind turbine has been struck by lightning.
