Lighting arrester

[EngCom2007]

How to use lightning arrester while receiving a signal?

 

[VEBill]

Please clarify your question.

 

[EngCom2007]

OK, here is the clarification.
A digital receiver is used to receive a signal through passive discone antenna in areas subjected to frequent thunder and lightning. And lightning arrester is required to protect the equipment from damage.The question is, how to use the lightning arrester? or where/how to install the lightning arrester?

Thank you

You should get someone experienced in doing this sort of thing to prevent damage to your equipment or yourself

Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

Strongly concur with IRstuff's recommendation..

There are issues in lightning protection not well understood by many.. in particular, ground shifts and the appropriate ground/bonding required to protect devices that have multiple connections, such as to an antenna system and of course, the power source.

Go to Ditek.com. They're good folks.

No, I'm not a Ditek salesman.

For RF lightning/surge protection devices, I recommend Polyphaser. Their site has a lot of information on the appropriate devices, proper grounding and bonding techniques, and application spec sheets.
