Introduction
Industrial facilities, storage facilities, substations, and offices are equipped with devices that can be damaged directly by lightning and in an indirect way by surges. Insufficient protection from such events can result in equipment malfunction, outages, risk of safety, electrical disturbances, and disruptions of the normal operating process. The choice of the right design method is crucial for ensuring electrical safety and operation continuity.
Protective Angle Method vs Rolling Sphere Method
The protective angle method defines a protected area below an air terminal. It is suitable for simpler, lower structures, although the permitted angle depends on the protection level and air terminal height.
The rolling sphere method uses an imaginary sphere to identify possible lightning attachment points. It is preferred for complex roofs, tall buildings, storage tanks, chimneys and rooftop equipment because it evaluates exposed surfaces more comprehensively.
