4 FAQs about Uninterruptible power supply and lightning protection grounding for West African communication base stations
What is grounding for lightning protection?
Books > Grounds for Grounding: A Hand... > Grounding for Lightning Protection Syst... The objective of lightning protection is to preclude hazards to persons, structure, or buildings and their contents attributable to the effects of lightning.
Why does a telecommunications site need reliable grounding?
A telecommunications site needs reliable grounding for the purpose of good reference ground, noise control and dissipation of any lightning energy. Surges in the power and copper based telephone lines can also originate from lightning strikes that have struck objects some distance from the actual site, in many cases, even miles away.
How should a lightning protection System (RBS) be formed?
The earthing network of an RBS should be formed by a ring loop surrounding the tower, equipment room and fence, at a minimum. The mean radius re of this ring loop should be not less than l1, as indicated in Figure 1 and this value depends on the lightning protection system (LPS) class and on the soil resistivity.
What is a lightning protection system (LPS)?
3.2.3 lightning protection system (LPS): Complete system used to reduce physical damage due to lightning flashes to a structure. NOTE – An LPS consists of both external and internal lightning protection system.
