6 FAQs about National Standard for Lightning Protection of Communication Base Station Energy Management System

What is a lightning protection standard?

The prime purpose of this Standard is to describe and encourage use of quality lightning protection systems for fire safety. This document covers the protection from lightning of buildings and structures, elevated storage silos, heavy duty stacks, trees, and open shelters.

Does NFPA 780 include lightning protection?

NFPA 780 includes lightning protection for typical building construction in Chapter 4 as general requirements for structures. The 780 document covers many specialty constructions from hazardous materials storage to boats and ships to open picnic structures, and gives recommendations for personal safety outdoors.

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?

Lightning protection systems have a remarkable record of protecting against physical danger to people, structural damage to buildings, and failure of internal systems and equipment. The value received begins with proper design, continues through quality installation practices, and must include inspection and certification.

Can lightning protection system components be concealed in building construction?

176) Lightning protection system components may be concealed in building construction. A lightning protection system is a low resistance continuous metallic path designed for the purpose of transferring lightning from the top of a structure into the earth.

How should a lightning protection system be maintained?

An inspection and maintenance procedure is recommended, and may be conducted by the system installer, an authority. Keeping the lightning protection system up to date with current standards ensures the greatest level of safety. When a lightning protection system is upgraded, as-built drawings should be revised to document modifications.
