Hi! Are you interested in knowing more on what gets into the design of lightning protection systems? This system saves thousands of lives eachyearand hundreds of million dollars.The course will address the lightning protection design on structures by following the British Standard BSEN 62305.
The course is divided into four parts each addressing a single part of the BSEN62305.
We'll start with part three of the standard BS EN 62305-3 where we will address the following:
- External Lightning Protection System
- Rolling Sphere Method
- Protective Angle Method
- Air Termination System
- Down Conductors
- Earthing Termination System
Then we will discuss the fundamentals of the standard BS EN 62305-1 where we will address the following:
- Sources of Damage
- Types of Damage
- Types of Loss
- Types of Risk
Then we will discuss the Internal Lightning Protection Design BS EN 62305-4 where we will address the following:
- Lightning Current Characteristics
- Surge Protective Devices
Then we will discuss the Risk Management BSEN 62305-2 where we will address the following:
- Risk Factors R1, R2, R3, R4
- Understanding the concept of Design
- The generic formula of the risk calculation
- Example of using Risk Assessment Study Calculator
