Need for Lps – Study of adequacy of the lightning protection system
Meanwhile, IS 2309 was superseded by IS/IEC 62305, which is a comprehensive standard so that not only structures and people are protected, but also electronic components within the structure. Due to this change, the NBC- National Building Code & CEA- Central Electricity Authority regulations were also revised to adopt the recommendations given in IS/IEC 62305. The risk analysis of the building in need of protection is covered in detail, and this being a specialized activity. , it has to be carried out by experts who are aware of developments so that clients have their investment well protected. Therefore, it is mandatory to conduct an audit, collect data for risk assessment and implement risk assessment recommendations so that people, the structure and all electronic devices within the structure are well protected and within levels tolerable.
METHODOLOGY OF THE LPS ADEQUACY STUDY:
Determine whether a lightning protection system is provided for all structures in the facility and if so to which Indian/International standard they conform to.
If they comply with IS 2309 or NFC 17-102, then they are invalid, as highlighted in NBC 2016, and therefore a risk analysis should be performed according to IS/IEC 62305 and recommendations should be implemented to prevent loss of data. human lives and the loss of economy below tolerable levels.
To reduce lightning losses, protective measures MAY BE NECESSARY. The risk assessment (IS/IEC 62305-2) should determine if and to what extent they are necessary.
The protection techniques that can be implemented include independent techniques or in combination of different techniques:
