EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 62305-1 test. IEC EN 62305-1 provides general principles to be followed for the lightning protection of structures, including installations and contents, as well as persons. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2006 and constitutes a technical revision.
There is no device or method that can alter natural weather phenomena to such an extent that they can prevent lightning discharges. Lightning strikes on or near structures (or lines connected to structures) are dangerous for people, the structures themselves, their contents and installations, and lines. Therefore, it is essential to implement lightning protection measures.
The need for protection, the economic benefits of establishing safeguards, and the selection of adequate safeguards should be determined in terms of risk management.
Lightning impacting a structure can damage the structure itself and its contents and contents, including failure of internal systems. Damages and malfunctions can spread around the building and even involve the local environment. The scale of this extension depends on the features of the structure and the characteristics of the lightning bolt.
The selection of the most appropriate protection measures according to the type and amount of any damage, the technical and economic aspects of the different protection measures will be made by the designer of the protection measures and the owner of the building to be protected.
An ideal protection for the structures would be to enclose the structure to be protected in a sufficiently thickly grounded and perfectly conductive continuous shield and to ensure that the lines connected to the structure are adequately connected at the entry point of the shield. This will prevent lightning current and the associated electromagnetic field from entering the structure to be protected and prevent dangerous thermal and electrodynamic effects of the current as well as dangerous sparks and overvoltages for internal systems.
