Introduction:
IS/IEC 62305 part 2 explains about the damages due to lightning strikes, source of such damages, losses due to lightning and the corresponding risks. There are so many parameters that determine the value of each risk component and one among them is the number of thunderstorm days in a year. In this article we shall explore about the factors that influences the risk components.
Factors influencing risk components:
Some of the factors which influences the risk components are as follows.
1. LPS - Lightning Protection System:
By providing LPS we can reduce the risk caused by lightning flashes to the structure, flashes near the structure and flashes to the line connected to the structure.
2. Coordinated SPD System:
A properly selected SPD is installed in order to reduce the failure of electric and electronics equipment.
3. Isolating Interfaces:
The device used to isolate in order to reduce surges on the lines entering the lightning protection zone.
4. Collection area:
The area must be completely protected to reduce all types of damages and its corresponding losses.
Some of the major factors provided by IS/IEC 62305 part 2 are listed below.
