Why is grounding required?
F.1.1
Reasons for grounding
Grounding the SAILOR 900 VSAT High Power system is required for at least two reasons:
• Safety: Lightning protection of persons and equipment.
• Protection: ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) protection of equipment.
F.1.2
Safety
First of all grounding of the system is required for safety reasons. In the event of a lightning
strike at the ADU a proper grounding of the system will provide a low resistance path to
divert the strike discharge to seawater.
F.1.3
ESD Protection
The ESD protection circuits in the ACU rely on proper grounding of the system in order to
work properly. Otherwise sensitive circuits within the ACU might be damaged due to ESD
when you are handling the equipment.
