more expensive end equipment.
A Base Station that is installed outdoor on the tower or mast (ODU) is especially vulnerable to lightning
surges. Good surge mitigation practice starts with the lightning rod and its connection to a proper sized
down conductor.
The ground down conductor should be as straight as possible and avoid incidental contact with other
conductors such that it represents the path of least resistance to earth ground from the lightning rod. The
tower/mast is also earth grounded to
safety, and generally presents a less desirable path to ground to surge currents. ODU equipment and
external primary protection devices are mounted to the tower/mast and should be bonded t
at the same point on the down conductor. This practice is intended to avoid ground loop currents that may
flow from differences in potential between the tower/mast structure and down conductor while large surge
currents are flowing in them r
espectively. Good surge mitigation practice also makes use of shielded
cables with peripheral shield grounding to minimize potentials induced on circuit conductors.
These cables should also be secured to the tower/mast at regular intervals to create
from conductors which are carrying surge currents. This practice avoids incidental contact or possible
insulation breakdown from high surge potentials.
A Base Station that is installed indoor units (IDU) requires similar protection as
(ODU). Primary protection devices are installed on all cables just prior to entry of the facility and bonded
to an earth ground stake. Likewise, the cable shields are grounded at the entry panel which should be
bonded to the same e
arth ground stake.
IDU equipment may also be vulnerable to surges entering via the AC power connection and steps should
be taken to install a proper AC Surge Suppressor device to complete a well protected installation.
