- 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 BS EN 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
