PROTECTION AGAINST LIGHTNING –

Part 3: Physical damage to structures and life hazard


FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC national committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes international standards, technical specifications,
technical reports, publicly available specifications (PAS) and guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC national committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates
closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined
by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC national committees.
3) IEC publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC national
committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
publications is accurate, the IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC national committees undertake to apply IEC publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to the IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts
and members of its technical committees and IEC national committees for any personal injury, property damage
or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC publication or any other IEC
publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC publication may be the subject of
patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International standard IEC 62305-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 81:
Lightning protection.
The IEC 62305 series (Parts 1 to 5), is produced in accordance with the new Publications`
Plan, approved by National Committees (81/171/RQ (2001-06-29)), which restructures in a
more simple and rational form and updates the Publications of the IEC 61024 series, the IEC
61312 series and the IEC 61663 series.
The text of this first edition of IEC 62305-3 is compiled from and replaces
– IEC 61024-1, first edition (1990).
– IEC 61024-1-2, first edition (1998).

Predgovor
1. IEC (Mednarodna elektrotehniška komisija) je svetovna organizacija za standardizacijo, ki združuje vse
nacionalne elektrotehnične komiteje (nacionalni komiteji IEC). Cilj IEC je pospeševati mednarodno
sodelovanje v vseh vprašanjih standardizacije s področja elektrotehnike in elektronike. V ta namen
poleg drugih aktivnosti izdaja mednarodne standarde. Za njihovo pripravo so odgovorni tehnični odbori
(TC). Vsak nacionalni komite IEC, ki ga zanima obravnavana tema, lahko sodeluje v tem
pripravljalnem delu. Prav tako lahko v pripravi sodelujejo mednarodne organizacije ter vladne in
nevladne ustanove, ki so povezane z IEC. IEC deluje v tesni povezavi z mednarodno organizacijo za
standardizacijo ISO skladno s pogoji, določenimi v soglasju med obema organizacijama.
2. Uradne odločitve ali sporazumi IEC o tehničnih vprašanjih, pripravljeni v tehničnih odborih, kjer so
prisotni vsi nacionalni komiteji, ki jih tema zanima, izražajo, kolikor je mogoče, mednarodno
soglasje o obravnavani temi.
3. Publikacije IEC imajo obliko priporočil za mednarodno uporabo ter jih kot takšne sprejmejo
nacionalni komiteji IEC. Čeprav IEC skuša zagotavljati natančnost tehničnih vsebin v publikacijah
IEC, IEC ni odgovoren za način uporabe ali za možne napačne interpretacije končnih
uporabnikov.
4. Da bi se pospeševalo mednarodno poenotenje, so nacionalni komiteji IEC v svojih nacionalnih in
regionalnih standardih dolžni čim pregledneje uporabljati mednarodne standarde. Vsako
odstopanje med standardom IEC in ustreznim nacionalnim ali regionalnim standardom je treba v
slednjem jasno označiti.
5. IEC ni določil nobenega postopka v zvezi z označevanjem kot znakom strinjanja in ne prevzema
nikakršne odgovornosti za opremo, ki je deklarirana, da ustreza kateremu od publikacij IEC.
6. Vsi uporabniki naj bi si zagotovili zadnjo izdajo teh publikacij.
7. IEC ali njegovi direktorji, zaposleni, uslužbenci ali agenti, vključno s samostojnimi strokovnjaki ter
člani tehničnih odborov in nacionalnih komitejev IEC, ne prevzemajo nobene odgovornosti za
kakršno koli osebno poškodbo, š

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 62305 deals with the protection, in a structure, against physical damages and
injuries of living beings due to touch and step voltages.
The main and most effective measure for protection of structures against physical damages
is considered to be the lightning protection system (LPS). It usually consists of both external
and internal lightning protection systems.
External LPS is intended to:
a) intercept a direct lightning strike to the structure (with an air termination system);
b) conduct the lightning current safely towards earth (using a down-conductor system);
c) disperse the lightning current into the earth (using an earth termination system).
Internal LPS prevents dangerous sparking within the structure using either equipotential
bonding or a separation distance (and hence electrical insulation) between the external LPS
(as defined in 3.2) components and other electrically conducting elements internal to the
structure.
Main protection measures against injuries to living beings due to touch and step voltages are
intended to:
a) reduce the dangerous current flowing through the bodies by insulation of exposed
conductive parts, and/or by increasing the surface soil resistivity;
b) reduce the occurrence of dangerous touch and step voltages by physical restrictions
and/or by warning notices.
The type and location of an LPS should be carefully considered in the initial design of a new
structure, thereby enabling maximum advantage to be taken of the electrically conductive
parts of the structure. Thus design and construction of an integrated installation is made
easier, the overall aesthetic aspects can be improved, and the effectiveness of the lightning
protection system can be increased at minimum cost and effort.
Access to ground and the proper use of foundation steelwork for the purpose of forming an
effective earth termination may well be impossible once construction work on a site has
commenced. Therefore, soil resistivity and the nature of the earth should be considered at the
earliest possible stage of a project. This information is fundamental to the design of an earth
termination system and this may influence the foundation design work for the structure.
Regular consultation between LPS designers and installers, architects and builders is
essential in order to achieve the best result at minimum cost.
If lightning protection is to be added to an existing structure, every effort should be made to
ensure that it complies with the principles of this standard. The design of the type and location
of LPS should take into account the features of the existing structure.

4 Lightning Protection System (LPS)
4.1 Type of LPS
The characteristics of an LPS are determined by the characteristics of the structure to be
protected and by the considered lightning protection level.
Four types of LPS (I to IV) are defined in this standard corresponding to lightning protection
levels defined in IEC 62305-1(see Table 1).
Each type of LPS is characterised by:
a) Data depending on the type of LPS:
− lightning parameters (Table 3 and 4 in IEC 62305-1)
− rolling sphere radius, mesh size and protection angle (Table 2)
− typical distances between down-conductors and between ring conductors (Table 4)
− separation distance against dangerous sparking (Tables 10, 11, 12)
− minimum length of earth electrodes (see 5.4.2, 5.4.3 and figure 2)
b)  Data not depending on the type of LPS:
− lightning equipotential bonding (see 6.2)
− minimum thickness of metal sheets or metal pipes in air-termination systems (Table 3)
− LPS materials and conditions of use (see 5.5, 5.6 and table 5)
− Material, configuration and minimum dimensions for air terminations, down-conductors
and earth terminations (Table 6 and 7)
− Minimum dimensions of connecting conductors (Tables 8 and 9)
Performance of each type of LPS is reported in IEC 62305-2, Annex B.
The type of required LPS shall be selected on the basis of a risk assessment (see IEC 62305-
2).
4.2 Design of the LPS
A technically and economically optimised design of an LPS is possible especially if the steps
in the design and construction of the LPS are co-ordinated with the steps in the design and
construction of the structure to be protected. In particular, the possible utilisation of metal
parts of a structure as parts of the LPS should be foreseen in the design of the structure itself.
The design of the type and location of the LPS for existing structures shall take into account
the constraints of the existing situation.
The design documentation of an LPS shall contain all the information necessary to ensure
correct and complete installation. For detailed information see Annex F.
4.3 Continuity of steelwork in reinforced concrete structures

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
62305-3 Ed. 1/CDV  IEC – 10 –
Steelwork within reinforced concrete structures is considered to be electrically continuous
provided that the major part of interconnections of vertical and horizontal bars are welded or
otherwise securely connected. Connections of vertical bars are to be welded, overlapped a
minimum of 20 times their diameters or otherwise securely connected.
For new structures, the connections between reinforcement elements shall be specified by the
designer or installer, in co-operation with the builder and the civil engineer.
For structures utilizing steel reinforced concrete (including pre-cast, pre-stressed reinforced
units), the electrical continuity of the reinforcing bars shall be determined by electrical testing
between the uppermost part and ground level. The overall electrical resistance should not be
greater than 0,2 ohm, measured using test equipment suitable for this purpose. If this value is
not achieved or it is not practical to conduct such testing, the reinforcing steel shall not be
used as a natural down conductor as discussed in 5.3.5. In this case it is recommended that
an external down conductor be installed.
In the case of structures of precast reinforced concrete, the electrical continuity of the
reinforcing steel shall be established between individual adjacent precast concrete units.
NOTE 1 For further information on the continuity of steelwork in reinforced concrete structures see Annex F.
NOTE 2  In several countries, the use of reinforced concrete as a part of the LPS is not allowed.
5 External lightning protection system
5.1 General
5.1.1 Scope of an external LPS
The external LPS is intended to intercept direct lightning strokes to the structure, including
flashes to the side of structure, to conduct lightning current from the point of strike to ground.
The external LPS is also intended to disperse this current to earth without causing thermal or
mechanical damage, nor dangerous sparking which may trigger fire or explosions.
5.1.2 Choice of external LPS
In most cases, the external LPS may be attached to the structure to be protected.
An isolated external LPS should be considered when the thermal and explosive effects at the
point of strike or on the conductors carrying the lightning current may cause damage to the
structure or to the contents (see Annex E). Typical examples include structures with
combustible covering, structures with combustible walls and areas with danger of explosion
and fire.
NOTE 1 The use of an isolated LPS may be convenient where it is predicted that changes in the structure, its
contents or its use will require modifications to the LPS.
Dangerous sparking between LPS and the structure shall be avoided:
• in an isolated external LPS, by separation in accordance with 6.3;
• in a non-isolated external LPS, by bonding, in accordance with 6.2, or by insulation or
separation in accordance with 6.3.

62305-3 Ed. 1/CDV  IEC – 11 –
5.1.3 Use of natural components
Natural components made of conductive materials which will always remain in the structure
and will not be modified (e.g. interconnected reinforced steel, metal framework of the
structure, etc.) may be used as parts of an LPS.
Other natural components should be considered as being additional to an LPS.
NOTE For further information, see Annex F.
5.2 Air termination systems
5.2.1 General
The probability of structure penetration by a lightning current is considerably decreased by
the presence of a properly designed air termination system.
The air termination systems can be composed of any combination of the following elements:
a) Rods (including free-standing masts);
b) catenary wires;
c) meshed conductors.
To comply with this standard all types of air termination systems shall be positioned in
accordance with 5.2.2, 5.2.3 and Annex A.
Radio-active air terminals are not allowed.
5.2.2 Positioning
Air termination components installed on a structure should be located at corners, exposed
points, and edges (especially on the upper level of its facades) in accordance with one or
more of the following methods.
Acceptable methods to be used in determining the position of the air termination system. are
the “protection angle” method, the “rolling sphere” method and the “mesh” method.
The rolling sphere method is suitable in all cases.
The protection angle method is suitable for simple shaped buildings but it is subject to limits
of air termination height indicated in Table 2.
The mesh method is a suitable form of protection where plane surfaces are to be protected.
The values for the protection angle, rolling sphere radius and mesh size for each type of LPS
are given in Table 2. Detailed information on the positioning of the air termination system is
given in Annex A.
5.2.3 Air terminations against flashes to the side of tall structures
On structures taller than 60 m, flashes to the side may occur; especially to points, corners
and edges of surfaces.
NOTE  In general the risk due to these flashes is low, because only a few percent of all flashes to tall structures
will be flashes to the side and moreover their parameters are significantly lower than those of flashes to
the top. However Electrical and electronic equipment on the wall outside the structure may be destroyed
even by lightning strokes with low current peak values.
An air termination systems shall be installed to protect the upper part of tall structures (i.e.
typically the topmost 20% of the height of the structure) and the equipment installed on it (see
Annex A).
