Indelec Survey Report - Lightning Protection

The document provides recommendations for lightning protection of the JE-2004 building. It recommends: 1) Installing two Prevectron S4.50 air terminals, each providing a protection radius of 68 meters, at least 5 meters above the highest point of areas to be protected. 2) Connecting the air terminals to the building with two down conductors fixed with three fasteners per meter. 3) Installing triangle earth terminations for each down conductor, with three copper-coated steel rods totaling 6 meters arranged in a triangle. 4) Ensuring the earth termination system has a resistance value of 10 ohms or less.

Air terminals, fixing systems and down conductors

According to the risk assessment, a protection Level 1 is required on this site.

We recommend to install two units of Prevectron S4.50 which each provide a protection
radius, based on the protection level, and height and specifications of the air terminal, in
order to protect buildings or surrounded areas. These Prevectron S4.50 shall be installed
at least 5 meters above the highest point of areas to be included in their coverage areas
to ensure a complete protection.

At this height, each Prevectron air terminal provides a protection radius of 68 meters.

The Prevectron units must be fixed on an elevation pole, which can be for example a
lighting pole or a dedicated pole. In every case, there should be a minimum distance of 2
meters between the air terminal and any other equipment.

In case of installation of the Prevectron unit on a building, this air terminal shall then be
connected to two down conductors fixed by the means of 3 fasteners per meter.

Base of down conductors

We strongly suggest to install on a Lightning Flash Counter (Ref. P8011) for checking and
maintenance purposes (allows periodic checking of the number of discharges) for each
single installation.

The base of the down conductor should be protected from accidental knocks and other
damage by means of 2 meter stainless-steel protection sheaths fixed to the building
with 3 fixings supplied.

Earth terminations

Each down conductor should be provided with its own earth termination system using a
triangle earth termination. The triangle termination is made of a set of three copper-
covered steel earth rods totaling a minimum length of 6 meters arranged in a
triangular fashion and separated from each other by a distance at least equal to their
driven depth and interconnected by a conductor identical to the down conductor.

The resistance value of the earth termination system should be 10 Ohms or less.

It is important to consider that this technical survey is based on provided informations.


This earth termination system is a standard solution that we propose without indication
about the ground nature. The customer needs to make sure that the resistance value of
10 Ohms or less is respected. If this is not the case, additional rods should be added to
this earth termination system in order to increase the conductivity of such system.

An inspection housing should be installed on each earth termination, near the base of the
down conductor, in order to facilitate ground inspections. A test clamp should be
installed in this inspection housing so that the down conductor may be disconnected from
the earth termination system for regular checks of the earth termination resistance
value.
