    Equipotential Bonding Required For Multi-Level Buildings Lightning Rods

    Uploaded by

    mahmoud12122012
    This document discusses guidelines for earthing principles and structures in buildings. It recommends a two or three dimensional earthing network configuration using multiple interconnected earth electrodes. For multi-level buildings, each level should have its own earthing mesh network interconnected to the other levels and earth electrodes. This provides redundancy and improves current flow symmetry to reduce impedance and voltage differences between levels. The multiple parallel paths have different resonance frequencies, so if one path has high impedance, others can shunt it, resulting in a low-impedance system overall.

    Fig. R5 : Installation with multiple earth electrodes

    In a typical installation for a multi-level building, each level should have its
    own earthing network (generally a mesh) and all the networks must be both
    interconnected and connected to the earth electrode. At least two connections are
    required (built in redundancy) to ensure that, if one conductor breaks, no section of
    the earthing network is isolated.
    Practically speaking, more than two connections are made to obtain better symmetry

    between the various levels in the building.
    The many parallel paths have different resonance frequencies. If one path has a high
    impedance, it is most probably shunted by another path with a different resonance
    frequency. On the whole, over a wide frequency spectrum (dozens of Hz and MHz),
    a large number of paths results in a low-impedance system (see Fig. R6).
    Each room in the building should have earthing-network conductors for equipotential

    certain areas ground reference plane or earthing strips in areas for electronic systems can be used
    to improve earthing of sensitive devices and protection interconnection cables.
