Planning aid, general<strong>information</strong>Gradual surge reduction with lightning protection zonesLightning protection zoneLPZ 0 ALPZ 0 BLPZ 1LPZ 2LPZ 3Lightning protection zone conceptThe lightning protection zone conceptdescribed in internationalst<strong>and</strong>ard IEC 62305-4 (DIN VDE0185 Part 4) has proved to bepractical <strong>and</strong> efficient. This conceptis based on the principle of -gradually reducing surges to asafe level before they reach theterminal device <strong>and</strong> cause damage.In order to achieve this situation,a building's entire energy networkis split into lightning protectionzones (LPZ = Lightning ProtectionZone). Installed at each transitionfrom one zone to another is asurge arrestor for equipotentialbonding. These arrestors correspondto the requirement class inquestion.Unprotected zone outside the building. Direct lightning impacts, no shielding against electromagnetic interferencepulses LEMP (Lightning Electromagnetic Pulse)Zone protected by external lightning protection system. No shielding against LEMP.Zone inside the building. Low partial lightning energies possible.Zone inside the building. Low surges possible.Zone inside the building (can also be the metal housing of a consumer). No interference pulses through LEMP orsurges present.02 TBS-Katalog_2010_Neuer_St<strong>and</strong> / en / 30/03/2010 (LLExport_00986)14 <strong>OBO</strong> TBS
