achieved Lightning Protection Level (LPL) calculation based on BS EN 62305 Part 2.
In the absence of such an evaluation employment of LPL - I will be deemed mandatory.
The Specialist Lightning Protection Installer shall then submit the shop drawings based
on the achieved LPL and shall employ the air termination network consisting of mesh
of either 5m x 5m or less, in co-ordination with rolling sphere (size as per the protection
level). All the service entries to the structure i.e. power line, telecom line, gas line,
water line etc. shall be protected by installing current surge protectors (either 25KA or
18.75KA or 12.5 KA rating), depending on the Lightning Protection Level (LPL) to be
used to bring down the risk (R) below the tolerable risk level ().

The Specialist Lightning Protection Installer shall use 25x3 mm bare copper tape of
99.99% purity (complying with BS EN 13601), (or PVC coated as the case may
require, complying with the same) to form the air-termination mesh on the uppermost
part of the structure (typically the roof) and ring conductor around the structure (the
spacing between the ring conductors shall depend on the size of the rolling sphere) to
prevent from side flashes.

Air termination network should be extended and its determined by using rolling sphere
method.

This method involves rolling an imaginary sphere of 20m or 30m or 45m or 60m radius
(depending on the Lightning Protection Level to be used) over structure to require
protection.

FILE NO. 1074


Typically, if LPL I is employed, then the first horizontal conductor shall be at 20m
level (from ground). From 20m to 120m, horizontal conductors shall be installed at
every 20 meters or every 5 floors. From 120m up to 400 meters, horizontal conductors
shall be installed at every 10 meters or every 3 floors, from 400 meters and above, the
horizontal conductors shall be installed at every 5 meters or every floor. However, if
the structure is more than 120m in height then the top 20% of the building height is
protected using ring conductors every floor and then follow the above rule.

Based on the above the Specialist Lightning Protection Installer shall use 25x3mm
copper tape as ring conductor and this tape should be bonded to all down conductors
around the periphery and a branch conductor to be taken horizontally and all these
down conductors to be bonded to the aluminium cladding wall using bi-metallic
clamps.

Any roof (e.g. staircase) on top of the main roof shall have air termination network and
it shall be connected to lower roof network.

All the fixing clips for the copper tape shall be metallic (complying with Class H of
the electrical testing based on BSEN 50164) and shall be fixed at an interval of 500mm
(1000 mm fixing distance for fixing conductors on vertical surface up to 20m from the
ground level and on the horizontal surface i.e. roof).

The down conductors shall be placed around the periphery of the building. A minimum
of two re-enforcing bars shall be used as down conductors in each column. The
minimum overlap dimension to connect two re-bars shall be at least 20 times the
diameter of the re-bar. If it not practical to arc-weld two re-bars then suitable clamps
should be used at a distance of each 10cm till the above dimension is achieved. Re-
enforcement bars in the designated columns should be used as down conductors, with a
suitable junction box to be recessed at approx. 500mm above the ground for the test
link.

The electrical continuity of the reinforcing bars shall be determined by electrical testing
between the uppermost part and the ground level. The overall electrical resistance
should not be greater than 0.2, measured using test equipment suitable for this
purpose. If this value is not achieved, or it is not practical to conduct such testing, the
reinforcing bar shall not be used as a natural down conductor.

The composite glass panel shall be bonded to all the down conductors at the various
slab levels as per the rolling sphere spacing by using bi-metallic clamps complying to
BSEN 50164.

The earthing shall be done as per local authorities requirements. A minimum of 2400
mm solid copper electrode shall be provided with each down conductor separately.
However, the Specialist Lightning Protection Installer shall submit the calculation for
deciding the number of earth rods in each earth pit. Wherever the soil resistivity is low
(typically below <20 m), the Specialist Lightning Protection Installer must use either
solid copper rods or stainless steel rods to ensure the longitivity of the earth termination
network.
FILE NO. 1074


The complete Lightning Protection System measured at any point, should not exceed 10
ohms. With the test clamp disconnected, the resistance of each individual earth should
be no more than ten times the number of down conductors in the complete system.

The LV and the IT earth should in no case exceed 1 ohm.

The terminated head of each electrode shall be located in a light weight inspection pit.
If clear earth is not available, then the Specialist Lightning Protection Installer has to
install the earth pit inside the building using double flange earth electrode seals.

The double flange earth seals should be designed for use in concrete slabs of nominal
thickness from 300mm to 5000mm thick, the seal will withstand water pressure up to
80 psi equal to a 55 meter head of water. The earth seal flange shall be free from dust /
debris, grease/paint before pouring of the concrete. A specialist installer should be
employed to do the installation or shall be done under the supervision of the
manufacturer or the manufacturers authorized representative.

Specialist Lightning Protection Installer also has to ensure, based on BSEN 62305 IV,
that suitable coordinated over-voltage surge protection devices with an extra low let
through voltage are used for protecting any terminal devices i.e. DBs feeding critical
services or even the local critical electrical gadget.

All metallic parts protruding outside the extended air termination network (e.g. balcony
hand rails etc) shall be connected to the air termination using suitable clamps (material
complying to BSEN 50164) at every floor wherever the horizontal conductor is applied.
The equipments on the roof (i.e. Chiller units etc) shall be protected using vertical air
terminals of suitable height so that it provides the zone of protection. This air terminal
shall be installed at a suitable separation distance so that the partial lightning current
doesnt flow through the equipment. The cable from the equipment shall be protected
using an over voltage protector. The equipment shall not be bonded to the air
termination network. Specialist Lightning Protection Installer shall give the calculation
of the suitable separation distance.

The Specialist Lightning Protection Installer shall install suitable surge protectors at
local power distribution boards feeding vulnerable equipment, in order to protect these
against transients generated downstream of the protectors in 1, above. (These transients
may be the result of inductive coupling or electrical switching.)
