4 STEPS TO LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTION www.ecsintl.com
DEFINE PROTECTION BOUNDARIES A boundary may cover an entire building or remote site. It may cover a single floor of a multi-story building, a single room, or even a single piece of equipment. Generally, the boundary will divide areas of different potential. All services crossing the boundary require protection whether that is power, or data.
PROTECT THE STRUCTURE The protection of buildings and structures against a direct lightning strike is covered extensively in many of the world's lightning protection standards. We modified rolling sphere analysis as providing the best assessing lighting strike points. recommend the method of
INSTALLED A BONDED EARTHING SYSTEM Using the creation of protection boundaries divides a structure into areas of equipotential where all equipment and protective earth are referenced to a single point within the boundary. One earthing system is essential, therefore all earths must be bounded together either directly or by the use of transient earthing clamps.
PROTECT SIGNAL & DATA LINES LAN networks, video, CATV, and other coaxial cable applications all suffer from the fact that the coaxial cable can provide an alternative earth return path for transient over- voltage disturbances, either induced on the cable itself or on the power supply anywhere in the network. The same applies to single or multi-pair signal lines which connect process control telemetry, PLC, telecommunication, and information technology systems.
