6 FAQs about [The importance of wind power lightning protection for communication base stations]

Can radio communication sites be protected from lightning?

The protection from lightning of radio communication sites can be achieved and protection from even direct lightning strikes is possible. The author is familiar with many examples where direct strikes have occurred and full protection has been achieved. The mechanism of a lightning strike must first be fully understood.

Do lightning protection systems actually work?

There is no solid evidence that such systems actually operate as claimed and all recognised lightning protection standards worldwide reject such systems. BS6651, British Standard on Lightning Protection. A.J Eriksson “An improved electrogeomagnetic model for transmission line shielding analysis” Trans. IEEE, July 1987, Vol. PWRD-2, No 3.

Why are radio communications stations prone to lightning strikes?

It is not difficult to understand why radio communications stations are so prone to lightning strikes. Sites are generally located on elevated ground and mountain tops and have an antenna tower or mast prominently located to optimize radio coverage to the surrounding areas.

Is there a systematic approach to lightning protection?

The only time proven method of lightning protection is to adopt a systematic approach. Lightning protection standards, particularly those revised since 1990, advise on this systematic approach.

How many lightning strikes can a 30m antenna tower receive?

In an area with 150 thunderdays, which is typical of Malaysia the mean ground flash density is 15. So a 30m high antenna tower will receive on average 4.5 direct strikes every year. This is a statistical calculation but provides ample evidence of the need for effective lightning protection at these sites.

How do you protect a tower from lightning?

These include: direct strike protection - install lightning finials to prevent direct strike to antennas. provide an effective earthing system for the tower - remember the tower itself provides the best downconductor. bond coaxial feeders and waveguides at the point where they leave the tower and at their point of entry to the building.
