Chapter The internal lightning protection system
.
According the testing standard, each protection
device must have thermal monitoring and must be
isolated safely there defect. According the American ANSI and IEEE stand-
ard, surge voltage resistance required
for outdoor lighting surge current load kA."
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.32 specifies: "Surge protection devices must
meet IEC 61643. 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.
The luminaire standard "Fpr 60598-1: 2012-11 Lu-
minaires Part General Requirements and Tests",
Point 4. Powerful lightning current combin-
ation arrestors can arrest the energy-rich currents
