IEEE Guide for the Protection of Communication Installations from Lightning Effects
Also Known As: IEEE Std 1692-2011
IEEE 1692-2011 is a guide that provides recommendations and guidelines for protecting communication installations from the effects of lightning. It focuses on mitigating the risk of damage to communications equipment within structures caused by lightning surges, ground potential rise (GPR), and potential differences. The standard outlines methods and practices that should be followed to minimize the impact of these effects and ensure the reliable operation of communication systems.
The document offers guidance on various aspects related to lightning protection, including the design, installation, inspection, and maintenance of grounding systems. It emphasizes the importance of proper bonding and grounding to reduce the risk of damage caused by lightning-induced voltages.
In addition, the standard provides recommendations for surge protection devices (SPDs) that can be used to divert lightning-induced surges away from sensitive communication equipment. It also addresses the need for proper bonding and grounding of antenna systems and the use of surge protectors and power line filters to safeguard communication equipment.
