Requirements for installing lightning protection devices in distribution boxes

Home / Requirements for installing lightning protection devices in distribution boxes

The UL Standard 96 addresses the minimum requirements for construction of air terminals, cable conductors, fittings, connectors, and fasteners used in quality lightning protection systems. A look at the basic components of lightning protection systems and what is required to support a reasonably safe and code-compliant installation. Surge protection devices are always installed where cables are fed into the control cabinet. An industry benchmark document for lightning safety for over a century, NFPA 780, Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems, provides a comprehensive.
