II. Mechanical and electrical equipment includes:
Lightning protection system: the collective term for lightning receptors, down conductors, grounding devices, surge protective devices, and other connecting conductors.
Lightning induction: During a lightning discharge, electrostatic and electromagnetic induction are induced in nearby conductors, which can cause electrical sparks to occur between metal components.
Electromagnetic compatibility: the ability of a device or system to operate normally in an electromagnetic environment without imposing unacceptable electromagnetic interference on any other entity in that environment.
Protective earthing: Connecting the exposed conductive parts of electrical equipment that are normally non-energized to the protective earth conductor (PE) or the protective neutral conductor (PEN) in accordance with the system’s earthing configuration is referred to as protective earthing.
Surge protective device: a nonlinear device designed to limit conducted transient overvoltages in power lines and to suppress surge currents, characterized by its nonlinear behavior.
