Introduction This int

7、roduction is not part of IEEE Std 1692-2011, IEEE Guide for the Protection of Communication Installations from Lightning Effects. The document addresses methods and practices necessary to reduce the risk of damages to communications equipment within structures arising from lightning surges causing G

8、PR (ground potential rise) and similar potential differences. According to the National Lightning Safety Institute accurate information about lightning-caused damage is elusive (see National Lightning Safety Institute B31).aThe U.S. Insurance Institute estimates the annual damages from lightning in

9、the United States to be $5 billion with the lightning strike claims, not including U.S. government property losses, paid per year being $820 million (see Brashear B6). Other sources provide much higher values. Lightning damage to equipment results in losses exceeding $26 billion annually in North Am

10、erica, and nearly three times that worldwide with more than 150 strikes per second (see Duckworth B9). Insurance payout resulting from lightning damage, accounts for approximately 7.5% of all U.S. insurance company distributions (see Brashear B6). Ironically, lightning damage to equipment could be a

11、ll but totally prevented. Special protection methods to minimize lightning damage are simple, very reliable, and inexpensive, particularly when compared to the cost of equipment repair and replacement, as well as the possible consequences of harm to personnel. However, methods for lightning special

12、protection cannot be found in the code books, e.g., National Electrical Code(NEC) or the National Electrical Safety Code(NESC).bPer the scopes of these two well-known codes, lightning protection is not covered, yet they are relied upon for practically all general construction in the United States. T

13、he Lightning Protection Standard(NFPA 780) should not be expected to provide guidance for the prevention of lightning damage to equipment. The scope of NFPA 780 covers the protection of structures only. NFPA 780 (4.18.3.2) does contain requirements for the surge protection of all service entrance si

14、gnal, data, and communication circuits as well as surge protection for all service entrance power circuits. Common grounding requirement (4.14) for electric service, communications, and antenna system grounds as well as underground metallic piping systems is also included in NFPA 780. Documented met

15、hods for the special protection of equipment from lightning cannot be found in the two main codes, NEC or NESC, or the Lightning Protection Standard that are systematically referred to for practically all general construction in the United States. This is in part the reason why there is so much need

16、less lightning damage. This guide is dedicated to providing special lightning protection methods for equipment and filling the vacuum that currently exists today (see Duckworth B9). Protection of the structure from lightning plays an important role in the protection of the equipment within the struc

17、ture. While the protection of the equipment is the main objective of this document, the protection of the structure housing the equipment is also covered in this document. The equipment housed in the structure is often worth many times the value of the structure. This standard was prepared by the Wi

Overview and background This Guide presents recommended engineering design practices to reduce the risk of lightning damages to communications equipment within structures. If equipment is protected from damage by lightning, then per

23、sonnel using, or associated with, the equipment may also be protected. Specific measures for the protection of personnel are not covered in this Guide. 3 Copyright 2011 IEEE. All rights reserved.

Lightning effects Lightning is an electrical dischar

27、ge. The cloud-to-cloud or cloud-to-ground discharge generates electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields. The most significant field is the magnetic one. The magnetic field induces voltages in conductors and, if a loop is formed, currents in conductive loops. Cloud-to-ground or grounded structur

28、e discharges will cause a localized ground potential rise (GPR). Currents flowing in structures will cause localized differences in structure grounding voltage and the currents will create localized magnetic fields. Electrical equipment damage from lightning may be placed into three major categories

29、: Improper or insufficient grounding Lack of protection from GPR Lack of protection from lightning transients Improper or insufficient grounding will result in the equipment being stressed and/or damaged (potential difference) from nearby equipment, metal objects, misdirected current flow, etc. Lack

30、 of protection from GPR will result in the equipment being stressed from its connection to remote earth at some distant location through communication wire-lines or power supply wiring and/or from intrabuilding GPR arising from the voltage drop between power and telecommunication grounds references

31、(see IEEE Std C62.43 B23, and Ma and Dawalabi B29). Lightning GPR (LGPR) can result from strikes to objects or direct strikes to earth. Strikes to towers may have higher probability when towers or metallic structures are present, but sites without towers or metallic structures can suffer damage from

32、 nearby earth strikes. 4 Copyright 2011 IEEE. All rights reserved. IEEE Std 1692TM-2011 IEEE Guide for the Protection of Communication Installations from Lightning Effects High differential ground potentials between local equipment and remote power grounds make the power service conductors a favored

33、 discharge path for LGPR currents. Soil conditions have a significant effect on differential ground potentials. Higher soil resistivity will result in higher differential ground potentials from lightning strikes to earth. With cloud to ground electric potentials in the magnitude of tens of millions

34、of volts, an earth strike can be characterized as a current source. When the stroke discharge occurs the current traveling in the earth will flow regardless of the soil impedance. General application of ohms law will indicate the higher soil resistivity will result in a higher differential ground po

35、tential for a given discharge current. Sites without towers may experience LGPR effects as much, if not more, than sites with towers as they are less likely to have extensive grounding infrastructure. Sites at most risk are areas with a higher occurrence of lightning and high soil resistivity. 5.1 S

36、urge protective devices (SPD) and wire-line The standard surge protective devices (SPD) in the telecommunications industry, for the termination of communication wire-line services is the gas discharge tube (GDT). GDTs are also called gas tubes. GDTs can be found on virtually every telephone pair ter

37、minated in homes, buildings, and similar locations. GDTs are designed to shunt most current to ground. If the magnitude shunted does not exceed a certain threshold the SPD will help protect equipment, and personnel, from harm. Most shunting devices, however, do not fully protect network electronic e

38、quipment from a GPR or “outgoing current,” whether induced from lightning or from a faulted power line. When shunting devices are connected to an elevated ground (outgoing current) during a GPR event, they merely offer an additional current path off the site to remote earth (the other end). When SPD

39、s (GDTs, MOVs, ABDs, SCRs, SADs, SASs, etc.) are used as ground shunting devices, they will not protect equipment from GPR. These devices merely offer an additional path to remote earth through the communication pairs for any and all outgoing currents. When there is a GPR event the SPD provides a co

40、nnection of the communication path in the reverse direction from which they were intended to operate and increases the possibility of equipment damage to telephone and power installations. The most susceptible locations are those where the equipment is located near, or under, towers and/or are locat

41、ed at a higher altitude than the surrounding area. Some of the susceptible locations to equipment damages include the Public Safety Answering Point locations (also called 911 PSAP). The typical 911 PSAP center is a relatively small building under, or near, a radio tower. This tower is a likely targe

42、t for lightning. Personnel taking emergency calls coming into the PSAP may be at a higher risk since they must be at the phones at all times and cannot be off the phones during lightning storms, as recommended in virtually every telephone book in the United States. For additional information see ATI

43、S 0600321 B2. Whether the site is a 911 PSAP center or a cellular telephone (radio) antenna on top of a mountain, special protection methods are available and must be used to reduce the risk of lightning damage to equipment and associated working personnel. Methods will be presented in this Guide to

44、 enable engineers to incorporate them into the general construction design. Effective protection of sensitive equipment with SPD shunting devices is complex. A well-designed installation requires coordination of the protection for low-voltage power feeds (ac and dc) with the protection for telecommu

45、nications facilities in order to minimize the effect of intrabuilding GPR. The use of secondary SPD is recommended to supplement the primary SPD (see ITU-T K.11 B26). Surge resistibility and impedance of the terminal equipment must be compatible with the selected primary SPD. 5 Copyright 2011 IEEE.

46、All rights reserved. IEEE Std 1692TM-2011 IEEE Guide for the Protection of Communication Installations from Lightning Effects Finally, secondary and primary SPD must be coordinated to optimize adequate operation (see IEEE Std C62.43 B23, ATIS 0600338 B4, ITU-T K.36 B27, and ITU-T K.11 B26). Even wit

47、h a well-designed installation, part of the lightning current will reach the equipment and, in some cases, can affect service quality and/or cause equipment damage. 5.2 Isolation techniques To minimize the risk of equipment damage due to energy exchange between grounds, special protection devices ba

48、sed on isolation techniques are very effective. The isolation protection techniques are particularly recommended for: 1) The protection of non-interruptible (class A) service (see IEEE Std 487-2007 or IEEE Std 1590-2009) 2) The protection of sensitive equipment not designed for operation with standa
