    Lightning Protection Sizing

    Uploaded by

    This document provides calculations for determining the need for and adequacy of lightning protection for a building according to Indian Standard IS 2309. The calculations show that the building has a collection area of 7389.06 sqm and a probable number of lightning strikes per year of 0.067979. The overall risk factor is above the maximum acceptable risk factor, so lightning protection is required. The number of down conductors required is then calculated based on the base area and perimeter of the building. With a base area of 1680 sqm and perimeter of 176 meters, the minimum number of down conductors needed is 6.

    Result / Conclusion :Since Overall Risk Factor Calculated Maximum Acceptable Overall Risk Factor > Hence, Lightning Protection is Required.

    B) CHECK FOR ADEQUACY OF NUMBER OF DOWN CONDUCTORS Calculations (As per Clause 12.2.3 of IS-2309):Ab = ( L x W ) Base Area of Structure P = 2(L+W) Perimeter of Structure i) For Base Area (Ab) < 100m2
    a) Number of Down Conductors Required = For Ab < 100m2

    1680 Meter2 176 Meter 1 Nos

    ii)

    For Base Area (Ab) > 100m2


    b) Based on Base Area of Structure:Number of Down Conductors Required c) Based on Parimeter of Structure:Number of Down Conductors Required = 1+(Ab-100)/300 = 6 Nos

    = P/30 = 6 Nos. Note:- The Number of Down Conductor should be at least the smaller between b) & c) (as per clause 12.2.3b of IS-2309) = Hence, Required Number of Down Conductors 6 Nos.
