Lightning can actually be defined as the discharge produced when differences between ground and atmospheric electrical charges are large enough to overcome the insulating effect of the ai. Lightning can occur within cioud, cloud to cious, and between cloud ‘and grounc. The destruction causes from lightning Lightning can provide a spectacular display of ight on a dark night. However, this awesome show of nature can bring fierce destruction than many other natural disastrous. The destruction can either bring direct effects or indirect effects. The direct effects are from resistive (ohmic) heating, arcing and buming, Wheroas, the indirect effects are more probable, which include capacitive, inductive and magnetic, behaviour. Thus, lightning can induce fires, damage electrical installations, and more important it kills, Installations where lightning protection is highly recommended to the following areas (summary) : Airports, shipping, hospitals, shopping mall and ate. Buildings containing computers and electronics, Explosives factories and storage areas. Flammable liquid or chemical storage. Factories and industrial plants - such as chemical, textile, paint and etc. Golf courses, race courses, sport arenas, stadiums, etc. Historie structures, mosques, and etc. High rise commercial buildings, complexes, apartments and et, Mining areas. Miltary installations. Oil and gas storage and refinery. Power stations, sub-stations and transformer stations.

As dividing if, it would be approximately 8.3 - 11.6 thunderstorm days per month, which is very much than the thunderstorm days per annum in Antarctica and Artic. According to Malaysian Meteorological Service's analysis from 1951 to 1998, the highest number of days with lightning being recorded was 329 days per annum (www.kje.gow.my/people/kliminterest him). This record was recorded at its Subang station, Selangor. Thus, it would be a need for us to install a proper lightning protection system because lightning strikes all exposed things on the ground, such as bulidings, storage tanks, trees, hiltops and etc, Thunderstorm Days Figure 3.0 Word Thunderstorm Days Por Yoar 04 IntroductionATEG Lightning & Earthing Protection Structural Lightning Design Consideration As Accordance To BS 6651:1990 ‘The principal components of a lightning protection system are as below (summary) Air Termination Network Air termination networks can either be vertical or horizontal conductors or the combination of both. For most of the common structures, an air termination network mash af approximately ‘mir x 20mir with provision of no part of the roof should be more than Smir from the closest horizontal conductor are considered efficient for protection from lightning strikes. However, for structures contain highly flammable or explosive contents, the horizontal conductor mesh should be Smtr x 10mtr, with no part of the root should be more than 2.5mtr from an alr termination conductor. Down Conductors Generally, down conductor is used to provide a low impedance path trom the air termination direct to the earth electrode in order the lightning current can be safely conductad to the earth, ‘The down conductor should be routed as directly as possible between the air termination network and the earth termination network. ‘As according to BS 68511990, it recommended one down conductor is to be used for every ‘20mtr or part thereof of the perimeter at the roof level or ground level, whichever is greater, However, if the building siructure Is above the height of 20mtr or of an abnormal risk, the distance between one to another should be reduced to 1Ormtr. * Tost Joint {tt should be recommenced that each down conductor should require a test joint 2s convenience {or test purposes.)

Each of the ‘earth electrodes should have a resistance (ohm) nat more than 10 times the total of ‘earth electrodes to be provided. Moreover, the total resistance of the complete earth termination network should not exceeding 10 ohms. However, if the resistance of the complete lightning protection system more than 10 ‘ohms, the resistance can be reduced oy implementing the ring earth electrode. I is important to understand that a reduction in resistance below 10.chms can lowered the Tisk of side flashing as well as reduce the potential gradient around the earth Rapeart Restone ‘electrodes when discharging lightning current,ATEG Lightning & Earthing Protection.
