Technical FAQs 4

Do lightning rods protect roof top installations?

Traditionally, some rooftop installation have been protected by the use of air terminals (Franklin Lightning Rods), often connected to the building lightning protection system. However, the traditional building lightning protection techniques are not well suited to protect these roof top installations.

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 rooftop antennas protected from lightning strikes?

If the antenna is installed on the rooftop, e.g., antenna positions 2 of Figure 29, depending on the relative height of building and the installation of the antenna system, it may be considered to be inherently protected from direct lightning strikes or be impacted by or exposed to direct lightning strikes.

How does Erico® protect a telecommunications facility?

Grounding/earthing, lightning protection and surge protection are critical parts of a telecommunications facility installation. ERICO® has complete telecommunications applications solutions to help protect the facility against electrical noise, lightning induced surges and transients caused by switching components in the power systems.
