Is a telecommunication tower impacted by lightning?
If the antenna is installed on the top of telecommunication tower, e.g., antenna positions 1 of Figure 29, it is considered to be impacted by or exposed to direct lightning strikes. Refer to [IEC 62305-3] for detail information about the protection angles and volume protected by an air termination system.
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.
Communication Network GSM-Base Stations and
However, natural events such as lightning can pose a serious threat to these systems. A direct hit of lightning or damage to GSM and base stations through electromagnetic surges can cause interruptions in communication
The main ways of lightning strike mobile communication stations
When the overhead pipeline encounters lightning strikes, the overvoltage is introduced into the base station room, which is likely to burn out the communication equipment of the base station.
Lightning and Surge Protection for Communication Station
Install lightning rods, grounding, surge protectors, shielding, and follow standards for effective communication station protection.
How Are Base Stations Protected Against Lightning?
In base station lightning protection design, the grounding grid and ground busbars are key components. With proper design, they can effectively reduce the impact of lightning on
ITU-T Rec. K.112 (07/) Lightning protection, earthing
The purpose of this Recommendation is to give detailed guidance on protection procedures, so that an engineer who is not a lightning protection expert can accomplish the design of the
Lightning introduction pathways and protection measures for
When overhead pipelines are struck by lightning, overvoltage is introduced into the base station room, which is likely to burn out the communication equipment of the base station.
THE LIGHTNING PROTECTION OF MOBILE
A direct hit of lightning or damage to GSM and base stations through electromagnetic surges can cause interruptions in communication networks and damage to devices. [pdf]
Communication Base Station (Independent Station) Lightning
The lightning protection effect is far from satisfactory. This is a long-standing problem for the construction and maintenance departments of communication operators.
Lightning protection and grounding scheme for communication
Because the environment and construction methods of each base station are different, the lightning protection and grounding of the base station cannot be generalized. Lightning
