[QUOTE="Jane HB, post: 495744, member: 32677"] Hello, I have a micro hydro scheme (6kW) and the turbine is fed by a weir about 1/4 mile up the hill. It is currently not working apparently because the head sensor cable may be damaged (possibly by a lightning strike) - this following the costly replacement last year of the mother board, also due to a lightning strike. So, two questions: 1. Does anyone know whether it might be possible to feed the info from the head sensor to the mother board via wifi/phone signal (reception not brilliant here), in order to avoid having to bury another cable (it’s not my land) ? 2. Can the motherboard be successfully protected from lightning damage? - being on an exposed hill, it’s very vulnerable. I’m afraid I’m not an electrician, so my technical know how is VERY limited!
