The Lightning Protection International Standard
نویسنده
چکیده
The Technical Committee on Lightning Protection of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC TC81) has finalised the new presentation of its work in four parts from general principles and risk management, to physical damage, life hazards and protection against electrical and electronic systems within structures. In this invited lecture we summarise their content and criticise the options chosen.

Lightning Protection of Ehv Substations in Iran
Extra high voltage (EHV) substations are extremely vulnerable to the hazard of lightning strokes therefore, the shielding of these substations with a highly reliable protective scheme (shield wires) is an essential undertaking. In this paper an attempt is made to clarify the design procedure for shielding EHV substations against lightning with special reference to Iran.
متن کاملThe Need for an International Standard on Lightning Location Systems
The lightning flash density Ng, so important in Lightning Protection standards for risk assessment calculations, should be replaced by the more suitable lightning strike-point density Nsg. A factor 2 is proposed to relate Ng to Nsg. More precise Ng values should occur from Lightning Location Systems (LLS), while improving their detection efficiency, location accuracy, and classification accurac...
متن کاملNecessary Separation Distances for Lightning Protection Systems - Iec 62305-3 Revisited
In case of direct lightning strike to a building dangerous sparking may occur between the external lightning protection system and conductive installations inside the building. To avoid such side flashes a minimum separation distance between conductive parts inside the building and the air termination or down conductor system is required. The standard IEC 62305-3 provides formulae to determine ...
متن کاملSensitivity Assessment of Lightning Protection Device Aging Effect on Distribution Substation Insulation
Insufficient electrical endurance of equipment and insulation failure against overvoltage is one of the most effective reasons for failure the power line. Lightening, switching or other disruptive parameters can cause line outage or distribution substation failure. There are different devices used to improve the safety, reliability, and power quality of the system. Surge arresters are one of t...
متن کاملA Critical Review of Nonconventional Approaches to Lightning Protection
DECEMBER 2002 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS. Properly designed conventional lightning protection systems for ground-based structures serve to provide lightning attachment points and paths for the lightning current to follow from the attachment points into the ground without harm to the protected structure. Such systems are basically composed of three elements: 1) “air t...
