2.2.6 Lightning Resistance
When the AC power cable is imported outdoors and directly connected to the power port of the RG-NBS5100 series
switch, lightning line bank should be adopted to prevent the switch from being hit by lightning shocks. Usage of the
lightning line bank: Connect the mains supply AC cable to the lightning line bank. Then, connect the switch to the
lightning line bank. This can help to prevent the current of high-voltage lightning from passing the switch directly through
the mains supply cable to a certain extent.
The lightning line banks are not provided and should be purchased by users as required.
For the usage of lightning line banks, refer to their related manuals.
2.2.7 EMI
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), from either outside or inside the equipment or application system, affects the
system in the conductive ways such as capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, and electromagnetic radiation.
There are two types of electromagnetic interference: radiated interference and conducted interference, depending on
the type of the transmission path.
When the energy, often RF energy, from a component arrives at a sensitive component via the space, the energy is
known as radiated interference. The interference source can be either a part of the interfered system or a completely
electrically isolated unit. Conducted interference results from the electromagnetic wire or signal cable connection
between the source and the sensitive component, along which cable the interference conducts from one unit to another.
Conducted interference often affects the power supply of the equipment, but can be controlled by a filter. Radiated
interference may affect any signal path in the equipment and is difficult to shield.
For the AC power supply system TN, single-phase three-core power socket with protective earthing conductors
(PE) should be adopted to effectively filter out interference from the power grid through the filtering circuit.
The grounding device of the switch must not be used as the grounding device of the electrical equipment or
anti-lightning grounding device. In addition, the grounding device of the switch must be deployed far away from the
grounding device of the electrical equipment and anti-lightning grounding device.
Keep the equipment away from high-power radio transmitter, radar transmitting station, and high-frequency
large-current device.
Measures must be taken to shield static electricity.
Interface cables should be laid inside the equipment room. Outdoor cabling is prohibited, avoiding damages to device
signal interfaces caused by over-voltage or over-current of lightning.
