Lightning Protection

In geographic areas that experience frequent thunderstorms, it is recommended to install one electrode

(ground rod) near the Boost Charger foundation. This is dependent on the local regulations and should be

determined by the contractor. It may be necessary to consult a local specialist for the options of lightning

protection. The Boost Charger must be within the protection angle of the lightning distraction device, which

must be determined by the owner and local specialist. The implementation of the lightning protection

depends on the local laws, safety and electrical regulations.

ADA Considerations

Check with local codes and regulations to determine if the Standards for Accessible Design for Americans

with Disabilities is applicable when choosing the location and placement of the Boost Charger.
