2. Lightning arrester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_arrester

   Powerline worker performs maintenance of a lightning arrester on an electrical transmission tower in New Brunswick, Canada. A lightning arrester (alternative spelling lightning arrestor) (also called lightning isolator) is a device, essentially an air gap between an electric wire and ground, used on electric power transmission and telecommunication systems to protect the insulation and ...

3. Lightning rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod

   In a lightning protection system, a lightning rod is a single component of the system. The lightning rod requires a connection to the earth to perform its protective function. Lightning rods come in many different forms, including hollow, solid, pointed, rounded, flat strips, or even bristle brush-like.

4. IEC 61000-4-5 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61000-4-5

   The earlier standard contained two definitions of "1.2/50-8/20 μs" waveform parameters, based on either IEC 60060-1 or IEC 60469-1, and two definitions of "10/700-5/320 μs" waveform parameters, based on either IEC 60060-1 or ITU-T K series.

5. Shunt (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_(electrical)

   However, a direct lightning strike (such as on a radio tower antenna) will cause the shunt to arc and conduct the massive amount of electricity to ground, protecting transmitters and other equipment. Another older form of lightning arrester employs a simple narrow spark gap, over which an arc will jump when a high voltage is present.

6. Electrical safety standards - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_safety_standards

   Few standard were introduced for the harmful impact from high frequency. Canada – CB-02 Radio Equipment [24] Russia – ГОСТ Р 50829-95 for radio Communication safety United States – ANSI/IEEE 1.2 mW/Cm for antennas 1800-2000 MHz range, [25] ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 for radio Communication safety [26]

7. Lightning detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_detector

   Single sensor lightning detectors have been used on aircraft and while the lightning direction can be determined from a crossed loop sensor, the distance can not be determined reliably because the signal amplitude varies between the individual strokes described above, [11]: 115 and these systems use amplitude to estimate distance. Because the ...

8. Effective radiated power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_radiated_power

   The latter factor is quantified by the antenna gain, which is the ratio of the signal strength radiated by an antenna in its direction of maximum radiation to that radiated by a standard antenna. For example, a 1,000 watt transmitter feeding an antenna with a gain of 4× (equiv. 6 dBi) will have the same signal strength in the direction of its ...

9. Free-space path loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss

   In telecommunications, the free-space path loss (FSPL) (also known as free-space loss, FSL) is the attenuation of radio energy between the feedpoints of two antennas that results from the combination of the receiving antenna's capture area plus the obstacle-free, line-of-sight (LoS) path through free space (usually air). [1] The "Standard ...
