Lightning protection and grounding requirements for
May 8, 2025 · Lightning protection for telecom communication base stations involves a multi- layered approach, including direct and indirect lightning strike protection. This includes using
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.
The most important objective of the radio base station (RBS) earthing network is to minimize the differences in potential between the conductive parts within the RBS site (equipotential bonding), which is beneficial for the safety, lightning protection and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance of the equipment.
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.
In the earthing system for a single wireless base station, the earthing network, down-conductors and metal conductors make a test loop. By using a clamp meter, the earthing resistance of the entire loop can be measured, but not the earthing resistance of the earthing network.
