Figure 6.45 illustrates recommended treatments: = galvanized steel strip on both bridge walls, if these are located in the overhead contact line zone = galvanized steel strip ot angle section-profile above the overhead line at the start and end of the bridge if the bridge ceiling is within the pantograph zone — protective fence or projecting device to avoid touching components possibly live on the bridge sides. The metallic parts are connected at two points to the return circuit. It is recommended that the reinforcement of new bridges is also interconnected electrically and then connected to the return circuit for lightning protection, The bridge foundations can also be employed as earth electrodes in this case. 6.6.4.9 Lightning protection Railway systems require high reliability and availability. Consequently, it is necessary to de- termine the measures to be applied to protect them against damage from lightning strokes, according to the risk management regime in IEC . Lightning strokes into the over- head contact line system cause a flash-over of the neighbouring insulators and the current is, conducted via the poles and the earthing installations into the carth. It is possible for insula- tors to be damaged, however, a fracture is unlikely. The earth connections should be kept a short as possible, to keep the impulse resistance and inductance in the arrester path to a mini- mum. Suitable overvoltage protection circuits, in addition to the external lightning protection, are adopted to protect sensitive equipment assets, Evaluations of the frequency of lightning current in accordance with IEC 62.305-2 revealed that 95% of all lightning currents are lower than 40kA and 99% lower than 60kA. Back flashovers should not be expected if the following condition is fulfilled: Rass
