Lightning Protector Installation
A lightning protector is a device to be installed on a CO line to prevent a dangerous surge from
entering the building and damaging equipment. A dangerous surge can occur if a telephone line
comes in contact with a power line. Trouble due to lightning surges have been showing a steady
increase with the development of electronic equipment. In many countries, there are
regulations requiring the installation of a lightning protector. A lightning strike to a telephone
cable which is 10 m above ground can be as high as 200,000 volts. This system should be
installed with lightning protectors. In addition, grounding (connection to earth ground) is very
important for the protection of the system.
