(Main)Lightning protection system components (LPSC) - Part 6: Requirements for lightning strike counters (LSCs)
Lightning protection system components (LPSC) - Part 6: Requirements for lightning strike counters (LSCs)
This part of IEC 62561 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 for use in hazardous atmospheres, extra requirements for the components may be necessary to be taken. NOTE In CENELEC countries, testing requirements of components for explosive atmosphere are specified in CLC/TS 50703-2.

IEC 62561-6:2023 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62561-6:2023 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L'IEC 62561-6:2023 spécifie les exigences et les essais applicables aux dispositifs destinés à compter le nombre de coups de foudre à partir du courant qui circule dans 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. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2018. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) ajout d'une nouvelle classification en fonction du circuit interne des LSC; b) mise à jour du logigramme des essais de l'Annexe C pour refléter la nouvelle classification; c) ajout de l'applicabilité d'essais précédents (Annexe D).
Elementi za zaščito pred strelo (LPSC) - 6. del: Zahteve za števce udarov strele (LSC) (IEC 62561-6:2023)
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.
Pri števcih udarov strele za uporabo v nevarnih atmosferah morda veljajo dodatne zahteve za komponente.
OPOMBA: V državah CENELEC so zahteve za preskušanje komponent za eksplozivne atmosfere določene v dokumentu CLC/TS 50703-2.
