3、st lightning discharges. The need of protection is obtained from the methodology contained in IEC 62305-2, which is used to determine the relevant lightning protection level (LPL) for the installation. The protection techniques for the external area cover the lightning protection system (LPS), bondi
4、ng procedures, earthing and the installation of surge protective devices (SPDs) at the power meter station. The protection techniques for the equipment building cover the feeder and lighting cables, the electric power conductors, the telecommunication cabling and the earthing/bonding procedures appl
5、ied to cable trays and equipment frames. This Recommendation also provides guidelines in order to achieve adequate protection of the telecommunication equipment based on the coordination between equipment resistibility, SPD protection level and installation characteristics.

8、lecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and
9、 tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Re
10、commendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Reco

ITU-T K.56 (2010)/Cor.1 (07/2017) 3 5 Need of protection The risk assessment of the RBS shall be performed according to IEC 62305-2 in order to determine a lightning protection level (LPL) for the design of the protection procedures. Table 1 shows some lightning flash par
38、ameters associated with each LPL. Table 1 Lightning flash parameters from IEC 62305-1 Parameter Unit LPL I II III IV Maximum peak current kA 200 150 100 100 Maximum current rate of rise kA/s 200 150 100 100 Radius of electro-geometric sphere m 20 30 45 60 Probability of flash % 99 98 95 90 NOTE The
39、risk assessment may indicate an LPL for the design of the LPS that is different from the LPL considered for the design of the other protection procedures. 6 External area Figure 1 shows the main earthing and bonding procedures applied to the external area. These procedures, as well as others not sho
40、wn in the figure, are detailed in the subsequent clauses. 6.1 Lightning protection system (LPS) In order to protect the antennas and auxiliary equipment from a direct strike, it may be necessary to install an LPS in the tower. If the nearby tower does not protect the shelter, it may be necessary to
41、install an LPS in the shelter too. The assessment of the need for an LPS and the determination of its positioning shall be performed with the rolling sphere method described in IEC 62305-3. The following clauses give some procedures for the installation of the LPS. 6.1.1 Metallic tower The LPS rod(s
42、) shall be connected directly to the structure of the metallic tower. Therefore, the structure of the metallic tower will conduct the stroke current to ground and there is no need to install lightning down conductors. NOTE If the total cross-section of the tower structure is less than 125 mm2, then
43、the tower shall be treated as a non-metallic tower, as described in clause 6.1.2. 6.1.2 Non-metallic tower If the structure that supports the antennas is not metallic (e.g., wood pole) or if it is metallic but its cross-section is less than 125 mm2, it is necessary to install two down-conductors to
44、earth the LPS rod(s). The down conductors shall not be insulated from the tower and they shall have a minimum cross-section of 50 mm2 each. The down conductors shall be installed on opposite sides of the tower. 6.1.3 Building In the majority of the cases, the nearby tower will protect the building a
45、gainst direct strikes. However, the need for an LPS in the building shall be investigated with the rolling sphere method described in IEC 62305-3. If the building requires an LPS, it shall be earthed in the earthing system of the RBS, which is described in clause 6.3. 4 Rec. ITU-T K.56 (2010)/Cor.1
46、(07/2017) Figure 1 General view of earthing and bonding procedures in the external area 6.2 Bonding in the tower 6.2.1 Feeder cables The wave-guide and the external conductor of coaxial cables, henceforth referred as feeder cables, shall be bonded to the metallic tower (or to the feeder tray) near t
47、he antenna, as shown in Figure 1. A weatherproof connector shall make the connection to the feeder cable in order to avoid corrosion, and the connection to the tower (or feeder tray) structure shall also be protected to avoid ingression of moisture. Usually, the cable manufacturers provide appropria
48、ted earthing kits for these connections. The earthing kits shall have a connector to be attached on the bare outer surface of the feeder (the feeder plastic outer jacket shall be removed), another connector to be attached to the tower structure (paint shall be removed) and a conductor bonding the tw
49、o connectors. The earthing kit shall also contain protective coatings to be applied on the connections. Figure 2 shows schematically the installation of an earthing kit before the application of the protective coating. NOTE 1 For non-metallic towers or metallic towers with a cross-section smaller than 125 mm2, the bonding shall be made to the lightning down conductor. NOTE 2 Some types of antenna are inherently connected to the tower by design. In this ca
