Lightning protection system components (LPSC) - Part 6: Requirements for lightning strike counters (LSC)

IEC 62561-6:2018 specifies the requirements and tests for devices intended to count the number of lightning strikes based on the current flowing in a conductor. This conductor may be part of a lightning protection system (LPS) or connected to an SPD installation or other conductors, which are not intended to conduct a significant portion of lightning currents. LSCs may also be suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres and there are therefore extra requirements necessary for the components to be installed in such conditions. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) removal of previous classification and introduction of a simple division into Type I for impulses (direct lightning current detection) and Type II for lightning surge current detection, with appropriate testing for each type; b) modification and addition of terms and definitions; c) addition of a new Annex C (tests flow chart).

Composants des systèmes de protection contre la foudre (CSPF) - Partie 6: Exigences pour les compteurs de coups de foudre (LSC)

L'IEC 62561-6:2018 spécifie les exigences et les essais à appliquer aux dispositifs destinés à compter le nombre de coups de foudre conduits à travers un conducteur. Ce conducteur peut faire partie d'un système de protection contre la foudre (SPF) ou être relié à une installation de parafoudre ou à d'autres conducteurs qui ne sont pas destinés à conduire une partie significative des courants de foudre. Les compteurs de coups de foudre (LSC) peuvent aussi être employés dans des atmosphères dangereuses; des exigences supplémentaires sont donc nécessaires pour installer les composants dans de telles conditions. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2011. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) retrait des classifications précédentes et introduction d'une division simple entre les LSC de type I pour la détection des impulsions (détection du courant de foudre direct) et les LSC de type II pour la détection des chocs de foudre, avec des essais appropriés pour chaque type; b) modification et ajout de termes et définitions; c) ajout d'une nouvelle Annexe C (logigramme des essais).

Elementi za zaščito pred strelo (LPSC) - 6. del: Zahteve za števce udarov strele (LSC)

Ta del standarda IEC 62561 določa zahteve in preskuse za naprave, predvidene za štetje števila udarov strele na podlagi pretakanja toka v prevodniku. Ta prevodnik je lahko del sistema za zaščito pred strelo (LPS) ali povezan z inštalacijo SPD ali drugimi prevodniki, ki niso predvideni za prevajanje bistvenega deleža tokov strele.
LSC-ji so tudi lahko primerni za uporabo v nevarnih atmosferah in so zato potrebne dodatne zahteve za komponente, ki jih je treba v takšnih pogojih namestiti.
