Lightning surge protection for 3G/4G/5G Radio Cellular Masts

    It doesn't really make sense. Presumably your trailer has a generator, and if this is off some batteries. Your only significant risk is a lightning strike to the mast (probably not the antennas) and you will not be able to prevent damage to something. The BS7671 “surge protection” says nothing about any of this, but it is an operational risk of mobile equipment in high places. What is done about normal masts, because something similar might work, but don't try to reinvent the wheel? You may well have big problems fitting any kind of LPS Earth on a mobile site, and it is probably not worth the effort or cost.
