Where To Protect: Through Both Underground and Overhead Cables

Protect all incoming and outgoing metallic service lines from a building to preserve the required Limited Protection Zone (LPZ) according to the LPZ concept, as transients can enter buildings through underground and overhead cables. Protect all cables that enter or leave the building, and protect critical equipment locally from internally created switching transients using different types of protectors tailored for different systems like mains, telephone, or signal lines.
