Ways of lightning protection<\/strong> is an integrated system that requires expertise and engineering, formed by the combination of many elements. Lightning is the phenomenon that causes the most environmental damage among natural disasters. For correct and complete lightning protection, the IEC 62305<\/strong> <\/em>lightning protection standard must be taken into consideration. In this context, it is of great importance to design internal lightning protection, i.e., surge arresters<\/em>,<\/strong> external lightning protection, grounding, and the equipotential system integrated together.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, in our country, the only system that comes to mind when lightning protection is mentioned is lightning rod (ESE) systems; however, active lightning rod systems are not the correct method for lightning protection, and systems installed using only lightning rods actually increase the risk further. Within the scope of the IEC 62305 standard, system installation with passive air terminals stands out as the most correct method, and the rolling sphere method among passive air terminals is the method involving the most advanced lightning protection engineering studies. It is of great importance that down conductors are isolated and equipotential system integration is ensured. However, none of these protect electrical systems. The fundamental part of the lightning protection system that protects electrical systems is Low Voltage Surge Arrester products. Whether it is a lightning rod or a passive air terminal, after the lightning reaches the ground, it can damage all devices within a 2km radius. Therefore, an LV Surge Arrester system must definitely be used. The first thing to do when determining Lightning Protection Methods<\/strong> is a professional site survey. It is impossible for us to reach a correct result without conducting a site survey. As a result of the site survey, we can design the correct system. The structural facility feature is the most important factor for us to find the right way as a lightning protection method. However, generally speaking, External Lightning Protection, Grounding,Equipotential, and LV Surge Arrester system integration appear as the lightning protection method set within the scope of the IEC 62305 norm.

1 External Lightning Protection<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

External lightning protection systems are systems that protect structures against the physical effects of lightning. An external lightning protection system must be designed in appropriate standards according to lightning risk analysis. At this point, the systems recommended by IEC 62305 are;<\/p>\n
