About this course
Overview
A telecoms site puts sensitive electronics under a tall steel structure in an open field, which is a difficult starting point. This deals with earthing and bonding designed for that exposure: what the codes require, what survives repeated strikes, and where field practice tends to drift from the drawing.
What you will be able to do
Learning outcomes
- Design a compliant telecoms site earthing system
- Bond tower structures and equipment correctly
- Protect electronics from transient overvoltage
- Reduce lightning-related site outages
- Inspect and verify earthing installations
What the course sets out to do
Course objectives
- Apply earthing standards for telecoms sites
- Design earthing and bonding for towers
- Protect sensitive equipment from surges
- Mitigate lightning risk at tower sites
- Verify installations against code
