The minimum length each earth electrode based
on the protection class the LPS not relevant if
the earthing resistance the individual earth elec-
trode (recommendation).
Connection cables should short possible
and not installed higher than above the ground. If
the lightning protection equipotential bonding was
only connected single earth electrode, then high
potential difference other earthers would result. The minimum
length each earth rod for horizontal earth elec-
trodes and 0. This
could cause unapproved arcing lethal voltage dif-
ferences.TBS
