Course programme
Effective, correctly installed lightning protection is vital in order to protect lives, reduce the risk of damage caused and avoid costly disruption to business critical systems. This intensive one-day course examines the phenomena and physics of lightning, and provides an understanding of lightning standards. The potential for damage and concepts by which structures and electrical systems can be protected from direct lightning strikes will also be studied. The course examines the application of earthing and bonding techniques together with the design and test techniques which are necessary for designing effective lightning protection. Case studies are used to illustrate the application of various protection systems for a variety of buildings and systems.
The course is suitable for designers of structural and electrical systems as well as those who own or manage structures and overhead lines. It is also of great value to those operating vulnerable equipment within buildings such as critical installations, exposed structures, and extensive systems such as IT networks.
