glands must also shielded. Doors and windows must connected
with the wall shielding via spring contacts.
Charge transferred through the medium between
the two points attempt even out the potentials;
this creates surge voltage.
3.3 Building and area shielding
Critical infrastructures such data centres, power
stations, chemical plants and electricity and water
supply systems can protected from the effects of
electromagnetic waves creating shielded areas.
This done covering all walls, the ceiling and the
floor with conductive materials (e
