Technical FAQs 4

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.

What is a lightning protection system (LPS)?

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.

What is a radio base station (RBS) earthing network?

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.

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.
