Protection against lightning -- Part 3: Physical damage to structures and life hazard

IEC 62305-3:2010(E) provides the requirements for protection of a structure against physical damage by means of a lightning protection system (LPS), and for protection against injury to living beings due to touch and step voltages in the vicinity of an LPS (see IEC 62305-1). This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2006, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: 1) Minimum thicknesses of metal sheets or metal pipes given in Table 3 for air-termination systems are assumed as not able to prevent hot-spot problems. 2) Steel with electro-deposited copper is introduced as material suitable for LPS. 3) Some cross-sectional areas of LPS conductors were slightly modified. 4) For bonding purposes, isolating spark gaps are used for metal installations and SPD for internal systems. 5) Two methods - simplified and detailed - are provided for evaluation of separation distance. 6) Protection measures against injuries of living beings due to electric shock
