6 FAQs about [Protection of communication base stations against lightning]

Can radio communication sites be protected from lightning?

The protection from lightning of radio communication sites can be achieved and protection from even direct lightning strikes is possible. The author is familiar with many examples where direct strikes have occurred and full protection has been achieved. The mechanism of a lightning strike must first be fully understood.

Why are radio communications stations prone to lightning strikes?

It is not difficult to understand why radio communications stations are so prone to lightning strikes. Sites are generally located on elevated ground and mountain tops and have an antenna tower or mast prominently located to optimize radio coverage to the surrounding areas.

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.

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.

Is there a systematic approach to lightning protection?

The only time proven method of lightning protection is to adopt a systematic approach. Lightning protection standards, particularly those revised since 1990, advise on this systematic approach.

Should lightning protection systems be rejected?

There are no short cuts and systems which purport to enhance the attraction of lightning, divert lightning, dissipate lightning or prevent lightning should be rejected. There is no solid evidence that such systems actually operate as claimed and all recognised lightning protection standards worldwide reject such systems.
