2 External lightning protection system for

Figure 5.4.1.1 Air-termination system – Expansion compensation
by means of a bridging braid
an industrial and residential building
Figure 5.4.2.1a shows the design of an external lightning
protection system for an industrial building and Figure
5.4.2.1b for a residential building with annexed garage.
These Figures and the Tables 5.4.2.1a and 5.4.2.1 b also
show examples of the components used today.
The necessary internal lightning protection measures such as
lightning equipotential bonding and surge protection (see also
chapter 6) are not taken into account.
Particular attention is drawn to DEHN´s DEHNhold, DEHNsnap
and DEHNgrip portfolio of holders.
