Purpose of today Is to understand: The process and methodology to perform a risk assessment as required by BS 62305:2006 Part 2 November 15, 2012 Slide 10
History of lightning protection in the UK November 15, 2012 Slide 11
What is Lightning? Lighting is an atmospheric electrostatic t ti discharge that typically occurs during a thunder storm, but also during volcanic eruptions and dust storms. Lightning can : Reach speeds of 140,000 mph, Reach temperatures of 30,000 C Carry a current up to 18 ka Carry a charge of 30 50 million volts November 15, 2012 Slide 12
British Standard BS EN 62305:2006 British Standard for lightning Protection was BS6651 from 1985 In the last twenty years our understanding of the subject (and its effect) has increased. This resulted in a new suite of standards UK now 1 of 28 European countries that form CENELEC - (Electrical arm of Comite European de Normalisation) 4 Part standard produced under CENELEC produced EN62305 Each European country has adopted a variation of EN62305 which are to be used in their own country - Annexes BS EN 62305:2006 is the same as EN 62305 with modifications for National Annexes Other non-eu countries might have their own national standard which would take precedence over EN62305 If EN62305 is used in a non-eu country then the relevant Annexe shall be used BS6651 withdrawn in 2008 November 15, 2012 Slide 13

Risk Management Procedure Identify the structure to be protected Identify the types of loss relevant to the structure to be protected Rn R1 Risk of loss of human life R2 Risk of loss of service to the public R3 Risk of loss of cultural heritage R4 Risk of loss of economic value For each loss to be considered, d identify and calculate the risk components Rx that make up the total risk Rn For each loss to be considered identify the tolerable level of risk Rt Calculate Rn = Rx Rn<=Rt Rt Yes No Install protection measures in order to reduce Rn November 15, 2012 Slide 15 For each loss to be considered identify the tolerable level of risk Rt
BS EN 62305 Part 2 risk assessment Have you carried out a BS EN 62305 Part 2 risk assessment? What are you going to do with the results? Any corrective actions! POLL 2 November 15, 2012 Slide 16
Notes about types of damage & types of losses D1: damage to living beings due to contact and step voltage D2: material damage (fire, explosion, mechanical destruction, release of chemical substances) due to the effect of the lighting current, including destructive discharges D3: system faults due to LEMP (lightning electromagnetic impulse) L1: loss of human life L2: loss of public service L3: loss of irreplaceable cultural heritage L4: economic loss, loss of the structure and its content November 15, 2012 Slide 17
The S1 effect of lightning S1 Lightning on the structure: this occurs when lightning hits the structure directly causing possible immediate mechanical damage, fires and/or explosions, damage to people due to step and contact voltages and faults or malfunctioning of internal systems due to LEMP (lightning electromagnetic impulse) Type of Damage Injury to living beings (D1) Physical damage caused by dangerous sparking inside the structure (D2) Failure of internal systems caused by LEMP (D3) Type of Loss Loss of human life (L1) Loss L of public service (L2) Loss of irreplaceable cultural heritage (L3) Economic loss, loss of the structure and its content (L4) November 15, 2012 Slide 18
The S2 effect of lightning S2 Lightning near the structure: this occurs when lightning hits near the structure (at a distance d ) causing possible faults or malfunctioning of internal systems due to LEMP (lightning electromagnetic impulse) Type of Damage Failure of internal systems caused by LEMP (D3) Type of Loss Loss of human life (L1) Loss L of public service (L2) Economic loss, loss of the structure and its content (L4) November 15, 2012 Slide 19
The S3 effect of lightning Type of Damage Injury to living beings (D1) Physical damage caused by dangerous sparking inside the structure (D2) Failure of internal systems caused by LEMP (D3) S3 Lightning i on services entering the structure: this occurs when lightning g does not hit the structure directly but the services entering the structure (telephone cables, antenna systems, electrical line etc...) causing possible fires and/ or explosions started by discharges due to surges and lightning currents transmitted by means of the entering service, damage to people due to contact voltages inside the structure and faults or malfunctioning of internal systems due to surges Type of Loss Loss of human life (L1) Loss of public service (L2) Loss of irreplaceable cultural heritage (L3) Economic E i loss, loss of the structure t and its content (L4) November 15, 2012 Slide 20
The S4 effect of lightning S4 Lightning near the services entering the structure: this occurs when lightning hits near the services entering the structure (at a distance d ) causing possible faults or malfunctioning of internal systems due to surges Type of Damage Failure of internal systems caused by LEMP (D3) Type of Loss Loss of human life (L1) Loss L of public service (L2) Economic loss, loss of the structure and its content (L4) November 15, 2012 Slide 21

Summary Process Plant to be treated differently to buildings. Risk assessment will be required Good chance of failing risk assessment for indirect strike But, you may be able to mitigate the risk by modifying / adapting existing kit Benefits Vs Cost.
