• The whole Lightning Protection System shall be designed completely in accordance

with:

• BSEN 62305 (I – IV): 2012 CENELEC standard for Lightning Protection

Page 7 of 15
 • BS EN 50164-1: 2000
• Lightning Protection Components (LPC) Part 1: Requirements for connection
components.
• BS EN 50164-2: 2000
• Lightning Protection Components (LPC) Part 2: Requirements for conductors and earth
electrodes.

• The following design details are aimed at protection against the risk of damage D1, D2
and D3 as mentioned in the Part 2 of the above-mentioned standard.

• The risk evaluation has been done based on the BSEN 62305 – Part 2 and an LPL level
IV will
• have be implemented to protect the building and the services to minimize R1.

• The calculation requires using the buildings.

• Earth Pit Installation at Ground Floor;

• The terminated head of each electrode shall be located in a Concrete inspection Earth
pit.

• The earth termination network comprises of 20mm x 1200mm Solid copper earth rod
driven at the base of each down conductor position. Each down conductor has a
separate earth termination.

• The earthing shall be done as per local authorities’ requirements. A minimum of 3600
mm length solid copper electrode shall be provided with each down conductor
separately. However, it is important to submit the calculation for deciding the number
of earth rods in each earth pit. Solid copper rods to ensure the longevity of the earth
termination network. The sections of earth rod
• shall be coupled together with threaded hexagonal rod couplings.

• The complete Lightning Protection System measured at any point, should not exceed 10
ohms. With the test clamp disconnected, the resistance of each individual earth should
be no more than ten times the number of down conductors in the complete system.

DOWN CONDUCTORS

• The down conductor spacing has to be 20 meters for Level IV.

• With reference to the standard BS EN 62305-3, 25x3mm PVC covered copper tape
inside outside the building wall should be used as down conductor for lightning

Page 8 of 15
 protection system. Ensure overall electrical continuity of the down conductor measure
from lower to upper level shall not be greater than .2 ohm.

• All metallic parts protruding outside the extended air termination network (e.g., balcony
hand rails etc.) shall be connected to the air termination using suitable clamps (material
complying to BSEN 50164).

AIRTERMINATION NETWORK

• The air termination network will comprise of 25mmx3mm bare copper tape of 99.99%
purity and shall form an air termination network consisting of mesh of 20 x 20 m for
Level IV on the accessible side. This will be installed along ridges to form a grid over
the roof structure. Should there be metallic structures forming the roof of the required
thickness and characteristics, they can be connected to form the desired air termination
network. The conductor will be fixed to the roof with DC clips to suit the final roof
finish at a distance of every 1-meter.

• All joints between conductors will be made with square tape clamps.

• Air terminations on roofs of different levels will be bonded together to form an

integrated lightning protection system. Any roof (e.g., staircase) on top of the main roof
shall have air termination network and it shall be connected to lower roof network.

• The equipment’s on the roof (i.e., Chiller units etc.) shall be protected using vertical air
terminals of suitable height so that it provides the zone of protection. This air terminal
shall be installed at a suitable separation distance so that the partial lightning current
doesn’t flow through the equipment. The cable from the equipment shall be protected
using an over – voltage protector. The equipment shall not be bonded to the air
termination network.

Preparation & Pre-installation Work

• Works shall not proceed until an approved construction drawing or detail is issued.
• Safe access to work areas shall be provided by the main contractor.
• Materials shall be moved to the work area in a safe manner and shall not block access /
egress from the site. Suitable mechanical aids shall be used where heavy loads are to be
moved or lifted into position. Such equipment shall be planned for in advance of works.

• Inspection, Testing & Commissioning

• In process works shall be monitored for quality of workmanship and installation against
approved construction drawings by the Electrical Engineer & Supervisor.

Page 9 of 15
 • All works shall be inspected for quality of workmanship and conformance to
specification.

• Visual Inspection, Continuity Tests, and Electrode Resistance Test shall be done and
recorded as per attached formats. This document, complete with inspection and test
format’s is issued for comment and approval.

• A Megger complete with current calibration certification shall be used for the relevant
measurements for these works.

• Earth resistance measurements for the reinforced concrete piles, used as earth
electrodes, shall be tested & recorded. Minimum permissible earth resistance value for
lightning protection is to below 10 ohms.

• The reinforced concrete piles shall be connected in parallel, if minimum resistance

requirement is not met.

Measurement of earth electrodes resistance

• Measurement of the resistance to earth of an earth electrodes is not necessary a simple

matter. While certain fairly simple rules can be laid down.. Circumstances frequent
arise which make it necessary to modify them. The resistance of an earth electrode is
unique in that the terminal provided by the electrode itself is definite, the other terminal
of the resistance being theoretically at an infinite distance. In practice a measurement
has to be made which includes the greatest part, say 98% of the total resistance. There
is no point in striving for a high degree of accuracy with such a measurement since
within the volume of such a resistance, there may be considerable non-uniformity in the
soil and other disturbing features. An accuracy of 2% is more than adequate, and
accuracies of the order of 5% are usually quite acceptable.

• A measurement current is passed between electrodes X, the one being tested and an
auxiliary current electrode Y. The voltage drop between electrode X and a second
auxiliary electrode Z is measured and the resistance of the electrode X is then the
voltage between X and Z. The source of current and the means of metering either the
current and voltage or their ratio are often, but not necessarily, combined in one device.

Testing

• On the completion of the installation or of any modification to it, the following isolated
and combined measurements and/or checks should be made and the results recorded in
a lightning Protection system logbook.

Page 10 of 15
 • The resistance to earth of each local earth electrode and in addition the resistance to
earth of the complete earth termination system
• Each local earth electrode should be measured in isolated with the test point between
the down conductor and earth electrode in the disconnected position (isolated
measurement)
• A further measurement should be taken with the test point in the connected position
(combined measurement) If there are any significant differences in the measurements in
relation to other positions, the reason for such differences should be investigated

• The results of a visual check of all conductors’ bonds and joints or their measured
electrical continuity

• Tests should be repeated at fixed intervals, preferably not exceeding 12 months

• Note : It may be advantageous to choose a period slightly shorter than 6 months in

order to vary the season in which tests are made.

• Note : It is emphasized that before disconnecting a lightning protection earth, it should

be tested to ensure that it is not “live” using a sensitive voltage-testing device

Records

• The person has to keep on site or the following records, responsible for the upkeep of
the installation:

• Approved shop drawings, showing the nature, dimensions, materials and position of all
component parts of the lightning protection system.
