Lightning protection and grounding standard for lithium-ion batteries in solar container communication stations

4 FAQs about Lightning protection and grounding standard for lithium-ion batteries in solar container communication stations

How should a lightning protection system be maintained?

An inspection and maintenance procedure is recommended, and may be conducted by the system installer, an authority. Keeping the lightning protection system up to date with current standards ensures the greatest level of safety. When a lightning protection system is upgraded, as-built drawings should be revised to document modifications.

What is grounding for lightning protection?

Books > Grounds for Grounding: A Hand... > Grounding for Lightning Protection Syst... The objective of lightning protection is to preclude hazards to persons, structure, or buildings and their contents attributable to the effects of lightning.

How many connections should a ground bar have to a lightning protection system?

A ground bar designed for interconnection of building grounded systems shall have one connection to the lightning protection system. A continuous metal water pipe system designed for interconnection of building grounded systems shall have one connection to the lightning protection system.

What is a conductor system in a lightning protection system?

The conductor system component of complete lightning protection includes main sized cables, the structural steel of a building, and bonding or interconnection wires to internal grounded building systems. The main conductors perform the current carrying function from the strike termination devices to the grounding system.
