Various sources of damage, e.g., a direct lightning strike in the building, come into focus, as do the types of damage resulting from this:\r\n\r\n\u2022 Impact on health or loss of life\r\n\r\n\u2022 Loss of technical services for the public\r\n\r\n\u2022 Loss of irreplaceable objects of cultural significance\r\n\r\n\u2022 Financial losses\r\n\r\nThe financial benefits are determined as follows: how does the annual total cost for a lightning protection system compare to the costs of potential damage without a protection system? The cost evaluation is based on the outgoings for the planning, assembly, and maintenance of the lightning protection system.\r\n\r\nParts 3 and 4: Planning aids and specifications\r\n\r\nIf the risk assessment determines that lightning protection is required and cost-effective, then the type and scope of the specific measures for protection can be planned based on Parts 3 [3] and 4 [4] of this standard. The lightning protection level determined by risk management is decisive for determining the type and scope of the measures.\r\n\r\nFor physical structures that require an extremely high level of safety, almost all strikes must be captured and conducted away safely. For systems where a higher residual risk is acceptable, strikes with lower amplitudes are not captured.\r\n\r\nProtecci\u00f3n contra sobretensiones seg\u00fan IEC 60364-4-44<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis standard [5] describes the conditions in which surge protective devices are to be used in low-voltage systems to protect the electrical installation against surge voltages. The area of application is thereby limited to surge voltages caused by atmospheric influences or as a consequence of switching procedures that are transmitted by the power supply system. Direct lightning strikes in a structural system are not considered, only strikes in or in the vicinity of supply lines.\r\n\r\nLikewise, structural systems with an explosion risk as well as structural applications that could cause damage to the environment (e.g., petrochemical systems or nuclear power plants) are not included in the application of the standard.

Por lo tanto, no se pueden producir da\u00f1os por influencias t\u00e9rmicas, magn\u00e9ticas o el\u00e9ctricas.

Sparks can be caused by lightning current in the external lightning protection system or in other conductive parts of the structural system.\r\n\r\nThe internal lightning protection system consists of equipotential bonding and the electrical insulation of external lightning protection systems.\r\n\r\nLightning protection equipotential bonding is a combination of measures that prevent potential differences. They mainly connect the lightning protection system to metal installations, internal systems, as well as electrical and electronic systems within the system.\u00a0This occurs by means of equipotential bonding lines, surge protective devices or isolating spark gaps.\r\n\r\nPuesta a tierra y conexi\u00f3n equipotencial<\/strong>\r\n\r\nEl sistema de puesta a tierra tiene como objetivo distribuir y descargar a tierra la corriente captada por el rayo. En este caso, el tipo de sistema de puesta a tierra es m\u00e1s importante que la resistencia de puesta a tierra. La corriente del rayo es un pulso muy corto que se comporta como una corriente de alta frecuencia. Tambi\u00e9n es importante una conexi\u00f3n equipotencial eficaz.

In external zones only resistant equipment can be used. However, in internal zones, sensitive equipment can also be used. The individual zones are characterized and named as follows:\r\n\r\nLPZ 0A<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u00c1rea desprotegida fuera de un edificio en la que es posible que caigan rayos directos.

When it comes to selecting surge protective devices, use the standard as a basis, assuming that 50% of the lightning current will be discharged to ground.
