    Figure 1 Rolling sphere method to determine the lightning protection zones Assess locations on poles, towers and buildings to determine, whether the location is in Zone A or Zone B: Zone A: In this zone a direct lightning strike is possible. Do not mount equipment in this zone. Zone B: In this zone, direct lightning effects are still possible, but mounting in this zone significantly reduces the possibility of a direct strike.
  • Page 14: Grounding Guidelines

    All grounding cables must be a minimum size of 10 mm2 csa (8AWG), preferably 16 mm2 csa (6AWG), or 25 mm2 csa (4AWG). Grounding guidelines Implement the following requirements, when routing, fastening and connecting grounding cables: Ensure the grounding conductors run as short, straight, and smoothly as possible, with the minimum bends and curves.
