3.3 Installation guidelines for lightning protection
When using the IQ SENSORNET instrumentation, particularly in outdoor
areas, adequate protection against (electrical) surges must be
provided. A surge is a summation phenomenon of surge voltage and
surge current. It is generated through the indirect effect of a lightning
event or switching operation in the mains, in the grounding system and
in information technology lines.
To be adequately protected against the damaging effects of surges, an
