In this chapter, you can find the Frequently Asked Questions on LLPD, inspired by our customers. We hope that the comprehensive answers will be useful for anyone interested in the lightning protection of overhead lines.

Some questions contribute to a general understanding of Line Lightning Protection Devices:

What is an LLPD?
What are the key features of LLPDs that distinguish them from conventional ways of protecting overhead lines against lightning strikes?
What is the guaranteed life expectancy of LLPDs?

Some points tell to the specific technical issues:

Is it necessary to install an LLPD on every phase and every tower?
Can an LLPD be installed on an existing line without the need to change out insulators or mounting hardware?
What happens if a bird bridges the air gap between an LLPD and a conductor?

Many other essential topics in lightning protection are also covered. For example, how to protect a line most effective if the budget is limited.
We will develop this chapter with new questions from our customers and partners.
