Surge suppression unit
Structures, equipment, and people must be protected against power surges (typically caused by
lightning) by conducting the surge current to the ground via a separate preferential solid path.
The actual degree of protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local regulations. To
adequately protect an ePMP installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge suppression
are required.
Network operators should always follow best practices for grounding and lightning protection. Doing so
will minimize network outages and reduce the associated costs of tower climbs and equipment
repair/replacement.
