GENERAL ISSUES AND CHALLENGES NORMATIVE DOCUMENTATION ON LIGHTNING PROTECTION AND GROUNDING ON OBJECTS OF FUEL AND ENERGY COMPLEX
Considered domestic and foreign legal and technical basis for the protection against atmospheric overvoltage, grounding devices, buildings, structures, facilities, objects of automation and remote control, telecommunications. Analyzes used in the Russian Federation in the design of lightning protection regulations. A schematic diagram of the security device against overvoltage, can significantly reduce the multiplicity of the surge and the number of failures associated with electric failure and with a reduction in insulation resistance of submersible electric motors as part of the ESP. It has been established that the requirements of regulations in some cases do not meet the currently used technical means and the newly developed principles, systems and overvoltage protection devices. It is shown that the solution to the problem of overvoltage protection requires an integrated approach, like the previously developed instructions Energy CO 153-34.21.122-2003 «Instructions for lightning protection of buildings, structures and industrial communications», only more refined, including the existing scientific and production potential.
