Lightning Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the air in the
electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000 °C. As this instant current is strong
enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be
taken.
■
Ensure that the rack and the device are well earthed.
■
Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.
■
Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.
■
Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.
Note:
For detailed lightning protection measures, refer to the Lightning Protection Guide from the
