Surge protection devices
must correspond the testing standard IEC 61643-
11 and must able arrest surge currents sever-
al thousand amps multiple times without destruction.
According the testing standard, each protection
device must have thermal monitoring and must be
isolated safely there defect.32 specifies: "Surge protection devices must
meet IEC 61643. Powerful lightning current combin-
ation arrestors can arrest the energy-rich currents.

If there direct lightning strike the mast lumin-
aire, large portion the lightning current will flow
directly into the earth, creating potential difference to
the supply cable.
