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. According the American ANSI and IEEE stand-
ard, surge voltage resistance required
for outdoor lighting surge current load kA. Powerful lightning current combin-
ation arrestors can arrest the energy-rich currents.32 specifies: "Surge protection devices must
meet IEC 61643
