What is the best lightning and surge protection for telecommunication facilities?
When lightning strikes, relying solely on air terminals proves insufficient in effectively safeguarding telecommunication facilities. The best lightning and surge protection for telecom involves a synergistic combination of key components such as tower lightning rods, tower lightning arresters, and grounding systems.
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.
Are telecommunication facilities vulnerable to direct or indirect lightning?
However, telecommunication facilities are highly vulnerable to transient overvoltage surges posed by direct or indirect lightning because of their extensive network infrastructure and the nature of the communication medium.
Which grounding conductor is used in telecommunications?
The two most common grounding conductors used in telecommunica-tions are round cables or flat tape. Flat tape conductors have a lower inductance and provide a higher capacitive coupling to the ground, which results in a lower impedance earth system, especially at high frequencies associated with lightning and telecommunications noise.
