BS 7671: 2001 (incorporating Amendments No 1: 2002 and No 2: 2004) has requirements for protection against electric shock, and lists a choice of five basic measures which shall be used to protect against indirect contact. This guide explains the theoretical principles and practical implementation of measures for equipotential bonding and lightning protection of PV systems in general – and of S:FLEX mounting systems in particular – based on the relevant technical regulations. This is also how DIN VDE 0100-200 defines the term. Supplementary bonding is the practice of connecting two conductive simultaneously accessible parts together to reduce the potential difference between the parts. – Induced currents from lightning which could damage the electric equipment. Equipotential bonding conductors do not carry operating currents and.
[pdf] This interactive submarine cable map shows global undersea and underwater fiber optic cables connecting continents and countries worldwide. Explore cable routes, landing stations, system status and infrastructure updates. Use the controls at the top to play the animation or step through year by year. For more details and insights, please read this. The Infrastructure Connectivity Map (Broadband maps - BBmaps) webapp provides infrastructure visualization of ICT networks. Projects such as SEA-ME-WE (Southeast Asia - Middle East - Western Europe) and FLAG (Fiber-Optic Link Around the Globe) established intercontinental fiber-optic routes, bridging entire regions with high-speed data links.
