Lightning protection (strikes with indirect effects) for telecommunication stations by lightning arresters, is applicable for all electrical networks. It is also compulsory to provide protection against lightning
Because the environment and construction methods of each base station are different, the lightning protection and grounding of the base station cannot be generalized.
What are lightning protection classes (LPL)? The different lightning protection classes, also known as Lightning Protection Levels (LPL), only refer to the type I arrester and its impulse current 10/350 µs.
According to IEC 62305, Lightning Protection Systems are divided into four classes (I, II, III, and IV), depending on the level of protection required and the potential risk to the structure or facility.
The IEC 62305 standard, which deals with lightning protection, defines "protection levels" as specific categories of lightning protection systems, each designed to
These levels specify the minimum and maximum lightning current parameters the protection system must manage, based on the statistical probability of a strike''s severity. LPL I
The document describes various objects and their assignment to the lightning protection levels. Normally, a complex calculation is required to determine this classification.
Install lightning rods, grounding, surge protectors, shielding, and follow standards for effective communication station protection.
· Lightning protection for telecom communication base stations involves a multi- layered approach, including direct and indirect lightning strike protection.
This Recommendation also provides guidelines in order to achieve adequate protection of the telecommunication equipment based on the coordination between equipment resistibility, SPD
