PROTECTIONThe lightning current is basically about a short and intense electromagnetic field (of double exponentialtype) that can damage equipment put at each ends of feeder cables, or cause a badfunctioning.Using components with new technologies of bad quality can easily increase the sensitivity ofelectrical and electronic equipment from lightning. Side protections limit troubles induced by thedischarge current, to a tolerable level for materials located in the extremities.Lightning arrester, surge protector, isolation systems are all rarely used directly. They are moreused as a whole system more or less complex and all put at the cable extremities, and close tothe equipment that need to be protected. They also need to be close, as much as possible, totheir inlet in buildings.These side protections can absolutely not damage the signal but indeed generate a safe flowpath for the lightning current to the ground, to avoid damages on the cables.Thanks to the large choice of side protections on the market, every cable type can easily bemounted with the perfect protection. The protection depends on the signal spread by the cable(tension, current, frequency). In specific cases, the designer has between several circuit typesthat he can use, and can consequently choose the circuit with the very best specifications heneeds to resolve his technical issues.This chapter will provide you with a complete range of products designed to protect your RFequipment against lightning, as well as weatherproofing solutions, for isolation matters.28

BASIC INFORMATION FOR A SAFE SITEGeographical areaKeraunic levelThe study of a lightning protection requires a study of the local geographical conditions, especially theexposure degree of the structure to :- the lightning risk, to assess the “potential for risk”, useful in the specification of protection devices,- the winds, studying the structures architecture to determine the best mechanical design of the deviceKnowing the exact geographical position of the site to protect is determining for the keraunic level. Thekeraunic level Nk indeed expresses the number of days per year where thunder is heard at a given place.This level indicates the degree of protection (site strongly or not strongly exposed) and make possible tocalculate the lightning density Ng, which expresses the number of strikes per year per km².Wind directionKnowing the prevailing winds in thundery periods is less important than the keraunic level. But it can helpto change the position of each protection. Indeed, every calculation on lightning rods consider clap of thunderas vertical. However, they are lightly deflected by aerological phenomenon.Site geologyTwo factors have to be considered on a geological level.Ground resistanceIt is a determining point to take decision regarding the ground plugs size, which provides a safe flow pathfor the lightning current.Homogeneous Land surfaceIt is very important regarding the ground plug location; resistance between ground plugs will highly interferewith the differences of potential, included between buildings when lightning strikes.Site environment : building and surroundingsBuilding sizes (length, height, and width), terrace plans, towers and shelters positioning, and basically allheight measurements are necessary guidelines for the survey. The plan will have to include the indicationof the north, the surrounding facilities (water supply, electric power station).35

PROTECTION OF HEAD END EQUIPMENTPhenomenon:Lightning currents cause a short and intense electromagnetic field which is double exponential, that candamage head-end equipment connected to cables. Using high tech components from bad quality caneasily increase the severe impact of lightning on electrical and electronic equipment.Head-end equipment are involved to limit disturbances caused by lightning, until you get an acceptablelevel that head-end equipment can handle.Physical magnitudePeak value for 1 lightning strike 35 KATime of climb 100 ns to 100 µsTime10 µs to 100 msSpectrum1 KHz to 1 MHz (Maximum weight about 100 KHz)Main information on head-end equipmentLightning Arrester (association between spark gap and varistor)Surge Suppressor (transient voltage suppression diode)Isolation systems (slightly capacitive transformers or lines connected for microwave linksapplications).Lightning arrester, surge protector, isolation systems are all rarely used directly.
