Protection against lightning - Part 4: Electrical and electronic systems within structures
IEC 62305-4:2024 provides requirements for the design, installation, inspection, maintenance, and testing of surge protection measures (SPM) for electrical and electronic systems to reduce the risk of permanent failures due to lightning electromagnetic impulse (LEMP) within a structure. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) addition of new informative Annex E and Annex F on the determination of current sharing using modelling and current sharing in PV installations respectively; b) addition of a new informative Annex G on methods of testing of system level behaviour; c) addition of a new informative Annex H on induced voltages in SPD-protected installations.

Protection contre la foudre - Partie 4: Réseaux de puissance et de communication dans les structures
L'IEC 62305-4:2024 fournit des exigences relatives à la conception, à l'installation, à l'inspection, à la maintenance et aux essais des mesures de protection contre les chocs (MPF) destinées aux réseaux de puissance et de communication, lesquelles visent à réduire le risque de défaillances permanentes dû aux impulsions électromagnétiques de foudre (IEMF) dans une structure. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2010. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) ajout de nouvelles Annexe E et Annexe F informatives sur la détermination de la répartition du courant à l'aide d'une modélisation et dans les installations photovoltaïques, respectivement; b) ajout d'une nouvelle Annexe G informative sur les méthodes d'essai des comportements de niveau système; c) ajout d'une nouvelle Annexe H informative sur les tensions induites dans les installations protégées par des SPD.
