The protection of GSM and base station towers from lightning and overvoltage is provided by integrating external lightning systems, internal lightning systems, earthing, equipotential bonding and LV surge arrester protection techniques within the framework of IEC-62305 standard.
This includes surge protection devices (SPDs), effective grounding systems, isolation and shielding of sensitive components, and real-time lightning monitoring systems.
The recommended approach is to use a separate DC grounding electrodefor PV arrays and frames,as this enhances protection against lightning and transient voltage. For lightning protection associated with grounding systems,refer to NFPA 780 and NEC 250.

A rating of Imax = 50kA is suitable for most applications, 100kA should be used if the exposure is high. If the length of cable from the inverter to the switchboard is less than 10 meters, SPD2 may be omitted and SPD3 provides primary protection for the switchboard and inverter.
