Figure 24 Lightning Protection System for Pole Mounting A8n (ac) Series Base Station

A lightning protection system provides a means by which a lightning

discharge may enter or leave earth without passing through and

damaging personnel, equipment or the buildings. It does not prevent

lightning from striking but provides a means for controlling it and

prevents damage by providing a low resistance path for discharge of

the lightning energy.
