10 Lightning Protection
CAUTION: EMD (Lightning) damage is not covered under standard warranty. The
recommendations in this user manual, when implemented correctly, give the user the best
protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor
possible.
10.1 Overview
The purpose of lightning protection is to protect structures, equipment and people against
lightning by conducting the lightning current to ground via a separate preferential solid path.
The following should be treated as a guide only. The actual degree of lightning protection
required depends on local conditions and weather patterns and applicable local regulations.
Full details of lightning protection methods and requirements can be found in the international
standards IEC 61024-1 and IEC 61312-1, the U.S. National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984 or section 54 of the Canadian Electric Code.
10.1.1 Lightning Protection Zones
Whe
n the ODU is installed on a mast, tower or wall, it may be in one of two possible lightning
protection zones :
• Zone A: In this zone a direct lighting strike is possible. Do not mount the ODU in this
zone.
• Zone B: In this zone, direct EMD (Lightning) effects are still possible, but mounting in this
zone significantly reduces the possibility of a direct strike. Mount the ODU in this zone.
The zones are determined using the ‘rolling sphere method’: an imaginary sphere, typically 50
meter in radius, is rolled over the structure. All structure points that contact the sphere
indicate the zone (A) where a direct strike is possible. Similarly points that do not contact the
sphere indicate a zone (B) where a direct strike is less likely.
Zones A and B are shown in Figure 120.
