Join us for our first professional development training workshops for 2021 in Sydney!

Lightning Protection & Tower Earthing Systems
8:30am – 12:00pm | Friday, 16th July 2021

This course will provide students with an outline of the various requirements for protection of sensitive equipment from power surges caused by electrical storms. This workshop will explain the causes and effects of lightning events, as well as outline the earthing requirements for communications towers and protection devices. The workshop addresses the common misconception that nothing can really be done to protect your sensitive radio equipment from the forces of Mother Nature. An understanding of the basic principles behind the nature of lightning events will show that it is in fact possible to mitigate the damage caused by a lightning strike through the use of appropriate protectors in conjunction with an adequate grounding system.

Candidates must complete an online assessment with 75% pass rate to obtain an ARCIA certification certificate.

Light lunch will be provided for those who also attend the DC Power Fundamentals Course.

Learning aids booklets will be provided, attendees will be offered an on-line assessment and certification on successful completion of the assessment.

Don't forget to secure your tickets to the 2021 NSW Inaugural Industry Dinner.
