This interactive 2-day course will cover grounding fundamentals, which grounding system tests can prevent safety and operational issues at your facilities and which tests can be conducted during a plant shutdown versus while the plant is in operation.

Earth termination system As the purpose of a lightning protection system is to discharge the lightning flash safely to earth the earth termination system is of vital importance. Is it possible to consider using the telecom tower itself as a conductive metal part down converterand ignore using popular down converter conductor and still ie a reliable protection against lightning?

As well as the constraints of the lightning protection codes of practice. Isc it safe to use structural steel as a down conductor for a Lightning Protection System at a school?

A typical program would entail, A visual inspection, checking of all conductors and system components, checking the equipotential bonding, measuring of earth resistance checking the surge protective devices, and ensuring the lightning protection system has been extended to cater for any structural changes. Protective angle Rolling Sphere Mesh size.

Once the protection level is known the lightning protection system can be designed. Enhanced streamer emission terminals Lightning elimination devices.

General principles Section 1: During the risk assessment the expected annual frequency of direct lightning flashes to a structure is calculated along with the Accepted annual frequency of lightning flashes. The touch and step voltages should be taken into account during the design of the earth electrode.

For full lightning protection the electronic equipment should also be protected.

Rolling sphere method The rolling sphere method may be used to identify the protected parts and areas of a structure where use of the protective angle method is excluded. Additionally, the proposed grounding system should be studied and analyzed using computer modeling systems.

From this it is possible to calculate the required efficiency of lightning protection system required, and therefore the protection level. The method is applied by rolling a sphere with radius R over the structure to be protected; the sphere should only touch the ground and 61042-1 termination system.

A building may divided in to zones of lightning protection. Does Nigeria have an earthing standards like other countries do?

For this reason it is important that a lightning protection system is designed and installed in accordance with recognized codes of practice. Can we conduct the electrical resistivity test in monsoon as it affect the results of resistance and what will be the impact on design of electrical system for power plant? Not only does directing the lightning energy into the building generate significant electromagnetic, harmonic, and transient noise that is harmful to electronics, but the massive current can also damage the concrete foundations due to the heat and steam that is generated.

It must also be noted that a lightning protection system works by attracting the lightning and discharging it safely to earth, therefore an incorrectly designed lightning protection system may be more dangerous than no system. If you do choose to use your building structural supports as lightning down conductors, this standard from the BS EN Often, additional grounding is required that exceeds the listed requirements in the standard.

How do you properly size the transient voltage surge suppression TVSS for lightning strike potential? General Principles — Guide B — Design, installation, maintenance and inspection of lightning protection systems.

Can the lightning protection system components be painted and still be recertified?

This could quite easily be interpreted as negating the use of building steel in the facilities Lighting Protection System LPS. We recommend copper down conductors routed to a buried ground ring that circumnavigates the entire perimeter of the structure with grounding electrodes capable of uec the lighting current.

Concrete columns that are used for down conductors must be tested at 0. The earth electrode should be designed and installed in accordance with SABS While the standard does not specifically forbid the use of building steel as a down conductor, it does have requirements to avoid ferrous materials for grounding and has the proximity issue already mentioned. The frequency of which will depend upon the weather, actual lightning damage, the protection level and any legislation e.
