1. Introduction

Generally Risk Assessment for Lightning event, determine the requirements of protection
measures and to what extent they are needed to be implemented to reduce the loss due to
lightning. The level of lightning protection could be established from the outcome of the risk
assessment as well.

For risk assessment study, the following types of loss shall be considered:

L1: loss of human life (including permanent injury);


L2: loss of service to the public;
L3: loss of cultural heritage;
L4: loss of economic value (structure, content, and loss of activity).

 The Risk Assessment result, will not solely determine if needs to install the building
physical protection by Air terminals and down conductors. In some cases the existence of
Air terminals and lightning discharging network will not help to reduce the encountered
risk significantly. In those case only employing SPD and shielding consideration along with
an appropriate earthing network may reduce risk significantly.

2. Scope of work

This report covers the study for quantification the loss of human life and service to public risk
value for this project.

4. Specific Procedure

According to IEC 62305-1, risks R1 and R2 shall be considered in the evaluation of the need of
protection against lightning. Generally for each risk to be considered the following steps shall be
taken:
• Identification of the components RX which make up the risk;
• Calculation of the identified risk components RX;
• Calculation of the total risk R;
• Identification of the tolerable risk RT;
• Comparison of the risk R with the tolerable value RT.
 If R ≤ RT, lightning protection is not necessary.
 If R > RT, protection measures shall be adopted in order to reduce R ≤ RT for all risks
to which the structure is subjected.

5. Design Data

5.1 Tolerable value of risk

It is the responsibility of the authority having jurisdiction to identify the value of tolerable risk.
Representative values of tolerable risk RT, where lightning flashes involve loss of human life or
loss of social or cultural values, are given in Table 1.
Table 1: Typical values of tolerable risk RT

Types of loss Tolerable risk RT


Loss of human life or permanent injuries 10-5
Loss of service to the public 10-3

5.2 Flash Density (Ng)

The average annual number N of dangerous events due to lightning flashes influencing a
structure to be protected depends on the thunderstorm activity of the region where the
structure is located and on the structure’s physical characteristics. To calculate the number N,
one should multiply the lightning ground flash density NG by an equivalent collection area of the
structure, taking into account correction factors for the structure’s physical characteristics. The
lightning ground flash density NG is the number of lightning flashes per km2 per year. This value
is available from ground flash location networks in many areas of the world which is obtained
from annual figures of Thunder storm day per year (See figure 1).

Figure 1: Flash density value

In accordance figure 2 Events that may be considered as dangerous for a structure to be protected
are
– Flashes to the structure,
– Flashes near the structure,
– Flashes to a line entering the structure,
– Flashes near a line entering the structure,
– Flashes to another structure to which a line is connected.

5.3 Lightning Exposure level

The exposure level of lightning strikes for any objects depends on the relative location of the
structure, compensating for surrounding structures or an exposed location, will be taken into
account by a location factor CD of that structure. According to IEC 62305-2-Table A.1:

• If Building surrounded by higher buildings, trees or other objects, the amount of lightning
strike to the concern building would be reduced to 0.25 to the probable rate

• If Building surrounded by buildings, trees or other objects of the same height or smaller, the
amount of lightning strike to the concern building would be reduced to 0.5 to the probable
rate

• If Building not surrounded by other objects in the vicinity (Isolated structure), the amount of
lightning strike to the concern building would be equivalent with the probable rate.

• If the building not only surrounded by other objects but is located on a hilltop or knoll
(Isolated structure), the amount of lightning strike to the concern building would be twice
the probable rate.

5.4 Collection area AD

For isolated structures on flat ground, the collection area AD is the area defined by the intersection
between the ground surface and a straight line with 1/3 slope which passes from the upper parts of
the structure (touching it there) and rotating around it. Determination of the value of AD may be
performed graphically or mathematically.

5.5 Area Classification and person’s presence time

The amount of loss is directly related to the number and presence time of individuals in each
lightning protection zones (LPZ). Table 2, shows the quantity Assumption has been made for this
project. The concept of LPZ has been presented in figure 3.

7. Recommendations of Roof Fixtures Protection


According to IEC 62305-3 sub clause E.5.2.4.2.4 “Protection of flush-mounted or protruding roof
fixtures” Air-termination rods for the protection of metal, flush-mounted roof fixtures or protruding
roof fixtures should be of such height that the fixture to be protected lies fully within the rolling
sphere protection space of the air-termination rod or is fully within the cone of the protection angle.
The separation distance between the air-termination rods and the roof fixtures should be such that
the proximity condition stipulated in IEC62305-clause 6.3 is satisfied.
Metal roof fixtures, not protected by air-termination rods, do not require additional protection if
their dimensions do not exceed all of the following values:
• height above the roof level 0.3 m;
• total area of the fixture 1.0 m2;
• Length of the fixture 2.0 m.
Metal flush mounted roof fixtures not fulfilling these requirements and not being within the
requirements for the separation distance should be bonded to the air termination system with at
least one bonding conductor.
Non-conductive roof fixtures which are not within the protected volume by air-termination rods and
which do not protrude by more than 0.5 m above the surface formed by the air termination system
do not require additional protection from air-termination conductors.
Conductive installations, such as electrical conductors or metallic pipes, which lead from flush-
mounted roof fixtures into the interior of the building, can conduct a considerable portion of the
lightning current into the interior of the building. Where such conductive connections exist, the
protruding fixtures on the roof surface should be protected by air-termination systems. If protection
by means of an air-termination system is not possible or cost effective, isolated parts, with lengths
corresponding to at least twice the specified separation distance, can be installed in the conductive
installations (e.g. compressed air pipes).
Chimneys of non-conductive material should be protected by means of air-termination rods or air-
termination rings when they are not within the protection space of an air-termination system. The
air-termination rod on a chimney should be of such height that the complete chimney lies within the
protection space of the rod.
A lightning flash to a non-conductive chimney is possible when the chimney is not situated within
the protection space of an air-termination system, due to the fact that the inner surface of the
chimney is covered by a soot deposit possessing a conductivity such that, even in the absence of
rain, it is capable of conducting the current of a streamer discharge of great length.
According to IEC 62305-3 sub clause E.5.2.4.2.5 “Protection of roof fixtures enclosing electrical or
information-processing equipment” all roof fixtures of non-conductive or conducting material, which
contain electrical and/or information-processing equipment, should lie within the protection space
of the air-termination system.
A direct flash into equipment installed inside the protection space of the air-termination system is
improbable.
Risk Assessment Study
Document Title : Lightning risk Assessment Report for Project Joyce “AstraZeneca” Rev. No.: D0
Document No.: AZ-IRL-LIT-STD-001 Page No.: 13 of 21

A direct flash into the roof fixture would lead not only to its destruction but would also cause
extended damage to the connected electrical and electronic equipment not only in the roof fixtures,
but also inside the building.
Roof fixtures on steel structures should also lie in the protection space of the air-termination system.
In this case, protruding air-termination conductors should be bonded not only to the air-termination
system but also to the steel structure directly, if possible. When bonded to the structure they need
not conform to the separation distance.
The requirements for roof fixtures should also apply to fixtures installed on vertical surfaces to which
a lightning strike is possible, i.e. which can be touched by the rolling sphere.
Roof fixtures housing electrical equipment for which the separation distance cannot be maintained,
should be bonded to the air-termination system and to the conductive elements of the roof fixtures
and the conductive shield of its electrical equipment. If the fixtures need extra protection, SPDs on
the active cables connected to it can be provided at roof level. Surge protective devices (SPDs)
should withstand the prospective part of the lightning current flowing through them without being
damaged. An SPD should also have the ability to extinguish electrical power follow-on currents from
the power supply if they are connected to the electrical power conductors. Where protection of
internal systems against LEMP is required, SPDs shall also conform to IEC 62305-4.

7.1 HVAC units (if any)

In general HVAC equipment has a very important role in the Availability of the IT equipment. That is
because Normal operating conditions exist when the HVAC system provides the necessary air
conditioning to maintain the computer room within specifications. Even in computer rooms with
moderate densities, however, loss of the HVAC system (whether through loss of power, or cooling
equipment failure) can result in steep temperature gradients and subsequently high space and
equipment inlet temperatures. There are several considerations when developing a disaster
recovery plan and one of them is failure of HVAC system. There for protecting the HVAC equipment
against direct strike is very important factor that shall be considered.
In general Risk Assessment parameters which is assessed in line with a certain building, does not
assess direct strike the Equipment damage which is located on the roof Accurate enough. That is
because, the only concern of study is building and the equipment located inside the building. In
these kinds of circumstances, it is better to consider HVAC Equipment as a separated case. In that
condition we can assume that each direct strike will lead to damage. The most important factor
about HVAC unit is that, they include some electrical circuits which are supplied from their pertinent
Distribution panel and some control circuits as well. So lightning protection system (LPS) designed
shall be considered to meet the regular requirements for HVAC systems. The best practice for
protection of HVAC Units will be achieved using the following methods:

I. Strategy 1

• Reduction of the Direct Strike side effects as much as is practical by selecting isolated
lightning protection system LPS class I or II.
Risk Assessment Study
Document Title : Lightning risk Assessment Report for Project Joyce “AstraZeneca” Rev. No.: D0
Document No.: AZ-IRL-LIT-STD-001 Page No.: 14 of 21

• Avoiding the Direct connection between LPS component to the metal body of the HVAC
equipment by observing the appropriate separation distance.

II. Strategy 2

• The lightning protection measures for the HVAC systems are adapted to the LPS class of the
structure and Reduction of the Direct Strike side effects as the same level as obtained from
risk assessment study.
• Consider Overvoltage devices (SPD) inside the HVAC control panel.

7.2 PV system

According to IEC TR 63227 clause 4.5 a lightning protection system (LPS) designed to comply with
class III meets the regular requirements for PV power supply systems. In special cases, e.g. for
objects of cultural value or requirements for an increased availability of the system, it should be
checked in accordance with IEC 62305-2 whether additional measures or a different LPS class is
required. The lightning protection measures for the PV power supply system are adapted to the
LPS class of the structure.

includes a risk analysis which allows to determine the lightning protection requirements of a structure. The
aim of the risk management is to reduce the risk to an acceptable level by taking protection measures.

The following risk analysis according to BS EN 62305-2:2012 for the project AstraZeneca-Joyce-API
Building - object Object shows the necessity of protection measures. The risk potential for the structure is
determined and, if necessary, measures to reduce the risk have to be taken. The result of the risk analysis
not only specifies the class of LPS, but also provides a complete protection concept including the
necessary LEMP protection measures.

As a result, an economically reasonable selection of protection measures suitable for the properties and
use of the structure is ensured.

Risk analysis for assessing the risk for structures according to
BS EN 62305-2:2012

4.1 Selection of risks to be considered

Due to the type and use of the structure, object Object, the following risks were selected and considered:

Risk R1: Risk of losses of human life; RT: 1.00E-05

Risk R2: Risk of loss of service to the public; RT: 1.00E-03

The tolerable risks RT were defined by selecting the risks.

The standard specifies the tolerable risk for the risks R1, R2 and R3 . No tolerable risk is defined for risk
R4. To this end, it is considered whether the protection measures make economical sense with regard to
the value of the structure.

The aim of a risk analysis is to reduce the risk to a acceptable level RT by an economically sound selection
of protection measures.

4.2 Geographic and building parameters

The ground flash density Ng is the basis for a risk analysis according to BS EN 62305-2:2012. It defines
the number of direct lightning strikes in 1 / year / km². A value of 0.40 lightning strikes / year / km² was
determined for the location of the structure Object by means of the ground flash density map. As a result,
there is a calculated number 4.00 thunderstorm days per year for the location of the project.

The dimensions of the building are decisive for the risk of a direct strike. The collection areas for direct /
indirect lightning strikes are determined based on these dimensions. The structure Object has the following
dimensions:

Lb Length: 55.00 m

Wb Width: 53.00 m

Hb Height: 37.00 m

Hpb Highest point (if applicable): 0.00 m

Based on the dimensions of the structure, there are the following calculated collection areas:

Collection area for direct lightning strikes: 65,598.00 m²

Collection area for indirect lightning strikes: 893,398.00 m²


(near the structure)

Risk analysis for assessing the risk for structures according to
BS EN 62305-2:2012

The environment surrounding the structure is an important factor for determining the number of possible
direct / indirect lightning strikes. This is defined as follows for the structure Object:
Relative location Cdb: 0.50

If the ground flash density is referred to the size and the environment of the structure, a frequency of:
• direct strikes to the structure ND = 0.0131 strikes / year,
• indirect strikes to the structure NM = 0.3574 strikes / year,

is to be expected.

4.3 Division of the structure into lightning protection zones/zones

The structure Object was divided into following lightning protection zones / zones:

- LPZ 0B - Structure protected against direct lightning strikes

- LPZ 1 - Inner zone of the protected structure

- LPZ 2 - Room/device in LPZ 1 with shielding properties

According to the standard, the lightning protection zones are defined as follows:

LPZ 0B = Protected against direct lightning flashes but where the threat is the full
lightning electromagnetic field. The internal systems may be subjected to
partial lightning surge currents.

LPZ 1 = Surge current is limited by current sharing and SPDs at the boundary. Spatial
shielding may attenuate the lightning electromagnetic field.

LPZ 2 … n = Surge current may be further limited by current sharing and additional SPDs

at the boundary. Additional spatial shielding may be used to further attenuate


the lightning electromagnetic field.

4.4 Supply lines

All incoming and outgoing supply lines of the structure to be considered must be taken into account in the
risk analysis. Conductive pipes do not have to be considered if they are connected to the main earthing
busbar of the structure. If this is not the case, the risk of incoming pipes should be considered in the risk
analysis (observe that equipotential bonding is required!).

The following supply lines were considered for the structure Object in the risk analysis:

- Power Line
- Telecom and Control

Parameters such as
• Type of conductor (overhead line / buried conductor)
• Conductor length (outside the building)
• Environment
• Connected structure
• Type of internal wiring (shielded / unshielded)
• Minimum rated impulse withstand voltage (dielectric strength of terminal equipment) were
determined for every defined conductor.

On this basis, the risk for the structure and its content resulting from lightning strikes to and near the
supply lines was determined and assessed in the risk analysis.

4.5 Risk of fire

The risk of fire in a structure is an important factor for determining the required protection measures. The
risk of fire for the structure Object was defined as follows:

7. General information

7.1 Components of the external lightning protection system


Lightning protection components used for the construction of the external lightning protection system must
comply with the mechanical and electrical requirements defined in the BS EN 62561-x standard series.
This standard series is for example divided into following parts:

- BS EN 62561-1:2012 Requirements for connection components


- BS EN 62561-2:2012 Requirements for conductors and earth electrodes
- BS EN 62561-3:2012 Requirements for isolating spark gaps
- BS EN 62561-4:2011 Requirements for conductor fasteners
- BS EN 62561-5:2011 Requirements for electrode inspection housings and earth
electrode seals

7.1.1 BS EN 62561-1:2012 Requirements for connection components


The requirements for connection components such as clamps are defined in BS EN 62561-1. For the
installer of lightning protection systems this means that the connection components are to be selected for
the load (H or N) to be expected at the place of installation. Therefore, a clamp for load H (100 kA) is to be
used e.g. for an air-termination rod (100% lightning current) and a clamp for load N (50 kA) e.g. for a mesh
or an earth entry (lightning current already distributed). The suitability for these applications must be
proven by the manufacturer.

7.1.2 BS EN 62561-2:2012 Requirements for conductors and earth electrodes


The BS EN 62561-2 specifies concrete requirements for conductors, such as air-termination and down
conductors as well as earth electrodes. These are defined as follows:
- Mechanical properties (minimum tensile strength and elongation),
- Electrical properties (maximum resistivity) and
- Corrosion protection properties (artificial aging).

The BS EN 62561-2 standard also specifies the requirements for earth electrodes and earth rods. In this
context, the material, geometry, minimum dimensions as well as the mechanical and electrical properties
are important. These normative requirements are relevant product features, which must be documented in
the manufacturers' documents and product datasheets.

7.1.3 BS EN 62561-3:2012 Requirements for isolating spark gaps


Isolating spark gaps can be used to galvanically isolate an earth-termination system.BS EN 62561-3
specifies that isolating spark gaps must be dimensioned in such a way that the components, if installed
according to the manufacturer's instructions, are reliable, durable and safe for persons and nearby
installations.

7.1.4 BS EN 62561-4:2011 Requirements for conductor fasteners


The BS EN 62561-4 standard specifies the requirements and tests for metal and non-metal conductor
fasteners used with air-termination and down conductors.

7.1.5 BS EN 62561-5:2011 Requirements for electrode inspection housings and earth electrode
seals
All earth electrode inspection housings and earth electrode seals must be designed in such a way that they
are reliable and safe for persons and the environment when used as intended. BS EN 62561-5 specifies
the requirements and tests for earth electrode inspection housings (e.g. pressure load) and for earth
electrode seals (e.g. leak test).

2. Normative basics

The BS EN 62305 standard series consists of the following parts:


- BS EN 62305-1:2011 - "Protection against lightning - Part 1: General principles“

- BS EN 62305-2:2012 - "Protection against lightning - Part 2: Risk management"

- BS EN 62305-3:2011 - "Protection against lightning - Part 3: Physical damage to structures and life hazard“

- BS EN 62305-4:2011 - "Protection against lightning - Part 4: Electrical and electronic systems within structures“

3. Risk and sources of damage

In order to avoid damage resulting from a lightning strike, specific protection measures must be taken for
the objects to be protected. The risk management described in the BS EN 62305-2:2012 standard
includes a risk analysis which allows to determine the lightning protection requirements of a structure. The
aim of the risk management is to reduce the risk to an acceptable level by taking protection measures.

The following risk analysis according to BS EN 62305-2:2012 for the project AstraZeneca-Joyce-Hazmat
Building - object Object shows the necessity of protection measures. The risk potential for the structure is
determined and, if necessary, measures to reduce the risk have to be taken. The result of the risk analysis
not only specifies the class of LPS, but also provides a complete protection concept including the

4.1 Selection of risks to be considered

Due to the type and use of the structure, object Object, the following risks were selected and considered:

Risk R1: Risk of losses of human life; RT: 1.00E-05

Risk R2: Risk of loss of service to the public; RT: 1.00E-03

The tolerable risks RT were defined by selecting the risks.

The standard specifies the tolerable risk for the risks R1, R2 and R3 . No tolerable risk is defined for risk
R4. To this end, it is considered whether the protection measures make economical sense with regard to
the value of the structure.

The aim of a risk analysis is to reduce the risk to a acceptable level RT by an economically sound selection
of protection measures.

4.2 Geographic and building parameters

The ground flash density Ng is the basis for a risk analysis according to BS EN 62305-2:2012. It defines
the number of direct lightning strikes in 1 / year / km². A value of 0.40 lightning strikes / year / km² was
determined for the location of the structure Object by means of the ground flash density map. As a result,
there is a calculated number 4.00 thunderstorm days per year for the location of the project.

The dimensions of the building are decisive for the risk of a direct strike. The collection areas for direct /

dimensions:

Lb Length: 29.00 m

Wb Width: 20.00 m

Hb Height: 12.50 m

Hpb Highest point (if applicable): 0.00 m

Based on the dimensions of the structure, there are the following calculated collection areas:

The environment surrounding the structure is an important factor for determining the number of possible
direct / indirect lightning strikes. This is defined as follows for the structure Object:
Relative location Cdb: 0.25

If the ground flash density is referred to the size and the environment of the structure, a frequency of:
• direct strikes to the structure ND = 0.0009 strikes / year,
• indirect strikes to the structure NM = 0.3338 strikes / year,

is to be expected.

The structure Object was divided into following lightning protection zones / zones:

- LPZ 0B - Structure protected against direct lightning strikes

- LPZ 1 - Inner zone of the protected structure

- LPZ 2 - Room/device in LPZ 1 with shielding properties

According to the standard, the lightning protection zones are defined as follows:

LPZ 0B = Protected against direct lightning flashes but where the threat is the full

4.4 Supply lines

All incoming and outgoing supply lines of the structure to be considered must be taken into account in the
risk analysis. Conductive pipes do not have to be considered if they are connected to the main earthing
busbar of the structure. If this is not the case, the risk of incoming pipes should be considered in the risk
analysis (observe that equipotential bonding is required!).

The following supply lines were considered for the structure Object in the risk analysis:

Parameters such as
• Type of conductor (overhead line / buried conductor)
• Conductor length (outside the building)
• Environment
• Connected structure
• Type of internal wiring (shielded / unshielded)
• Minimum rated impulse withstand voltage (dielectric strength of terminal equipment) were
determined for every defined conductor.

On this basis, the risk for the structure and its content resulting from lightning strikes to and near the
supply lines was determined and assessed in the risk analysis.

4.5 Risk of fire

The risk of fire in a structure is an important factor for determining the required protection measures. The
risk of fire for the structure Object was defined as follows:

4.8 Additional loss - Human life L1

If damage to a structure caused by a lightning strike can also affect nearby structures or the surroundings
(e.g. chemical or radioactive emissions), additional loss (LBE and LVE) should be considered when
assessing the total loss (LBT and LVT).

7. General information

7.1 Components of the external lightning protection system


Lightning protection components used for the construction of the external lightning protection system must
comply with the mechanical and electrical requirements defined in the BS EN 62561-x standard series.
This standard series is for example divided into following parts:

- BS EN 62561-1:2012 Requirements for connection components


- BS EN 62561-2:2012 Requirements for conductors and earth electrodes
- BS EN 62561-3:2012 Requirements for isolating spark gaps
- BS EN 62561-4:2011 Requirements for conductor fasteners
- BS EN 62561-5:2011 Requirements for electrode inspection housings and earth
electrode seals

7.1.1 BS EN 62561-1:2012 Requirements for connection components


The requirements for connection components such as clamps are defined in BS EN 62561-1. For the
installer of lightning protection systems this means that the connection components are to be selected for
the load (H or N) to be expected at the place of installation. Therefore, a clamp for load H (100 kA) is to be
used e.g. for an air-termination rod (100% lightning current) and a clamp for load N (50 kA) e.g. for a mesh
or an earth entry (lightning current already distributed). The suitability for these applications must be
proven by the manufacturer.

7.1.2 BS EN 62561-2:2012 Requirements for conductors and earth electrodes


The BS EN 62561-2 specifies concrete requirements for conductors, such as air-termination and down
conductors as well as earth electrodes. These are defined as follows:
- Mechanical properties (minimum tensile strength and elongation),
- Electrical properties (maximum resistivity) and
- Corrosion protection properties (artificial aging).

The BS EN 62561-2 standard also specifies the requirements for earth electrodes and earth rods. In this
context, the material, geometry, minimum dimensions as well as the mechanical and electrical properties
are important. These normative requirements are relevant product features, which must be documented in
the manufacturers' documents and product datasheets.

7.1.3 BS EN 62561-3:2012 Requirements for isolating spark gaps


Isolating spark gaps can be used to galvanically isolate an earth-termination system.BS EN 62561-3
specifies that isolating spark gaps must be dimensioned in such a way that the components, if installed
according to the manufacturer's instructions, are reliable, durable and safe for persons and nearby
installations.

7.1.4 BS EN 62561-4:2011 Requirements for conductor fasteners


The BS EN 62561-4 standard specifies the requirements and tests for metal and non-metal conductor
fasteners used with air-termination and down conductors.

7.1.5 BS EN 62561-5:2011 Requirements for electrode inspection housings and earth electrode
seals
All earth electrode inspection housings and earth electrode seals must be designed in such a way that they
are reliable and safe for persons and the environment when used as intended. BS EN 62561-5 specifies
the requirements and tests for earth electrode inspection housings (e.g. pressure load) and for earth
electrode seals (e.g. leak test).

2. Normative basics

The BS EN 62305 standard series consists of the following parts:


- BS EN 62305-1:2011 - "Protection against lightning - Part 1: General principles“

- BS EN 62305-2:2012 - "Protection against lightning - Part 2: Risk management"

- BS EN 62305-3:2011 - "Protection against lightning - Part 3: Physical damage to structures and life hazard“

- BS EN 62305-4:2011 - "Protection against lightning - Part 4: Electrical and electronic systems within structures“

3. Risk and sources of damage

In order to avoid damage resulting from a lightning strike, specific protection measures must be taken for
the objects to be protected. The risk management described in the BS EN 62305-2:2012 standard
includes a risk analysis which allows to determine the lightning protection requirements of a structure. The
aim of the risk management is to reduce the risk to an acceptable level by taking protection measures.

The following risk analysis according to BS EN 62305-2:2012 for the project AstraZeneca-Joyce-MV Room
- object Object shows the necessity of protection measures. The risk potential for the structure is
determined and, if necessary, measures to reduce the risk have to be taken. The result of the risk analysis
not only specifies the class of LPS, but also provides a complete protection concept including the
necessary LEMP protection measures.

As a result, an economically reasonable selection of protection measures suitable for the properties and
use of the structure is ensured.

4. Project data

DEHN Risk Tool 18/26 (3.120) - 9/27/2023 Page 5 of 14


Risk analysis for assessing the risk for structures according to
BS EN 62305-2:2012

4.1 Selection of risks to be considered

Due to the type and use of the structure, object Object, the following risks were selected and considered:

Risk R1: Risk of losses of human life; RT: 1.00E-05

Risk R2: Risk of loss of service to the public; RT: 1.00E-03

The tolerable risks RT were defined by selecting the risks.

The standard specifies the tolerable risk for the risks R1, R2 and R3 . No tolerable risk is defined for risk
R4. To this end, it is considered whether the protection measures make economical sense with regard to
the value of the structure.

The aim of a risk analysis is to reduce the risk to a acceptable level RT by an economically sound selection
of protection measures.

4.2 Geographic and building parameters

The ground flash density Ng is the basis for a risk analysis according to BS EN 62305-2:2012. It defines
the number of direct lightning strikes in 1 / year / km². A value of 0.40 lightning strikes / year / km² was
determined for the location of the structure Object by means of the ground flash density map. As a result,
there is a calculated number 4.00 thunderstorm days per year for the location of the project.

The dimensions of the building are decisive for the risk of a direct strike. The collection areas for direct /
indirect lightning strikes are determined based on these dimensions. The structure Object has the following
dimensions:

Lb Length: 20.00 m

Wb Width: 11.00 m

Hb Height: 5.00 m

Hpb Highest point (if applicable): 0.00 m

Based on the dimensions of the structure, there are the following calculated collection areas:

Collection area for direct lightning strikes: 1,856.00 m²

Collection area for indirect lightning strikes: 816,398.00 m²


(near the structure)

DEHN Risk Tool 18/26 (3.120) - 9/27/2023 Page 6 of 14


Risk analysis for assessing the risk for structures according to
BS EN 62305-2:2012

The environment surrounding the structure is an important factor for determining the number of possible
direct / indirect lightning strikes. This is defined as follows for the structure Object:
Relative location Cdb: 0.25

If the ground flash density is referred to the size and the environment of the structure, a frequency of:
• direct strikes to the structure ND = 0.0002 strikes / year,
• indirect strikes to the structure NM = 0.3266 strikes / year,

is to be expected.

4.3 Division of the structure into lightning protection zones/zones

The structure Object was divided into following lightning protection zones / zones:

- LPZ 0B - Structure protected against direct lightning strikes

- LPZ 1 - Inner zone of the protected structure

- LPZ 2 - Room/device in LPZ 1 with shielding properties

According to the standard, the lightning protection zones are defined as follows:

LPZ 0B = Protected against direct lightning flashes but where the threat is the full
lightning electromagnetic field. The internal systems may be subjected to
partial lightning surge currents.

LPZ 1 = Surge current is limited by current sharing and SPDs at the boundary. Spatial
shielding may attenuate the lightning electromagnetic field.

LPZ 2 … n = Surge current may be further limited by current sharing and additional SPDs

Risk analysis for assessing the risk for structures according to
BS EN 62305-2:2012

at the boundary. Additional spatial shielding may be used to further attenuate


the lightning electromagnetic field.

4.4 Supply lines

All incoming and outgoing supply lines of the structure to be considered must be taken into account in the
risk analysis. Conductive pipes do not have to be considered if they are connected to the main earthing
busbar of the structure. If this is not the case, the risk of incoming pipes should be considered in the risk
analysis (observe that equipotential bonding is required!).

The following supply lines were considered for the structure Object in the risk analysis:

- Power Line
- Telecom and Control

Parameters such as
• Type of conductor (overhead line / buried conductor)
• Conductor length (outside the building)
• Environment
• Connected structure
• Type of internal wiring (shielded / unshielded)
• Minimum rated impulse withstand voltage (dielectric strength of terminal equipment) were
determined for every defined conductor.

On this basis, the risk for the structure and its content resulting from lightning strikes to and near the
supply lines was determined and assessed in the risk analysis.

4.5 Risk of fire

The risk of fire in a structure is an important factor for determining the required protection measures. The
risk of fire for the structure Object was defined as follows:

Z1 Z2 Z3
No risk of fire or explosion ¨ ¨ ¨
Low risk of fire ¨ ¨ ¨
Normal risk of fire þ þ þ
High risk of fire ¨ ¨ ¨
Explosion - Ex zone 2, 22 ¨ ¨ ¨
Explosion - Ex zone 1, 21 ¨ ¨ ¨

No special hazard ¨ ¨ ¨
Low level of panic (e.g. a
structure limited to two floors and
the number of persons not þ þ þ
greater than 100)
Average level of panic (e.g.

The BS EN 62561-2 standard also specifies the requirements for earth electrodes and earth rods. In this
context, the material, geometry, minimum dimensions as well as the mechanical and electrical properties
are important. These normative requirements are relevant product features, which must be documented in
the manufacturers' documents and product datasheets.

7.1.3 BS EN 62561-3:2012 Requirements for isolating spark gaps


Isolating spark gaps can be used to galvanically isolate an earth-termination system.BS EN 62561-3
specifies that isolating spark gaps must be dimensioned in such a way that the components, if installed
according to the manufacturer's instructions, are reliable, durable and safe for persons and nearby
installations.

7.1.4 BS EN 62561-4:2011 Requirements for conductor fasteners


The BS EN 62561-4 standard specifies the requirements and tests for metal and non-metal conductor
fasteners used with air-termination and down conductors.

7.1.5 BS EN 62561-5:2011 Requirements for electrode inspection housings and earth electrode
seals

2. Normative basics

The BS EN 62305 standard series consists of the following parts:


- BS EN 62305-1:2011 - "Protection against lightning - Part 1: General principles“

- BS EN 62305-2:2012 - "Protection against lightning - Part 2: Risk management"

- BS EN 62305-3:2011 - "Protection against lightning - Part 3: Physical damage to structures and life hazard“

- BS EN 62305-4:2011 - "Protection against lightning - Part 4: Electrical and electronic systems within structures“

3. Risk and sources of damage

In order to avoid damage resulting from a lightning strike, specific protection measures must be taken for
the objects to be protected. The risk management described in the BS EN 62305-2:2012 standard
includes a risk analysis which allows to determine the lightning protection requirements of a structure. The
aim of the risk management is to reduce the risk to an acceptable level by taking protection measures.

The following risk analysis according to BS EN 62305-2:2012 for the project AstraZeneca-Joyce-Tank
Farm Control Room - object Object shows the necessity of protection measures. The risk potential for the
structure is determined and, if necessary, measures to reduce the risk have to be taken. The result of the
risk analysis not only specifies the class of LPS, but also provides a complete protection concept including
the necessary LEMP protection measures.

As a result, an economically reasonable selection of protection measures suitable for the properties and
use of the structure is ensured.

4. Project data

Risk analysis for assessing the risk for structures according to
BS EN 62305-2:2012

4.1 Selection of risks to be considered

Due to the type and use of the structure, object Object, the following risks were selected and considered:

Risk R1: Risk of losses of human life; RT: 1.00E-05

Risk R2: Risk of loss of service to the public; RT: 1.00E-03

The tolerable risks RT were defined by selecting the risks.

The standard specifies the tolerable risk for the risks R1, R2 and R3 . No tolerable risk is defined for risk
R4. To this end, it is considered whether the protection measures make economical sense with regard to
the value of the structure.

The aim of a risk analysis is to reduce the risk to a acceptable level RT by an economically sound selection
of protection measures.

4.2 Geographic and building parameters

The ground flash density Ng is the basis for a risk analysis according to BS EN 62305-2:2012. It defines
the number of direct lightning strikes in 1 / year / km². A value of 0.40 lightning strikes / year / km² was
determined for the location of the structure Object by means of the ground flash density map. As a result,
there is a calculated number 4.00 thunderstorm days per year for the location of the project.

The dimensions of the building are decisive for the risk of a direct strike. The collection areas for direct /
indirect lightning strikes are determined based on these dimensions. The structure Object has the following
dimensions:

Lb Length: 16.00 m

Wb Width: 9.00 m

Hb Height: 5.00 m

Hpb Highest point (if applicable): 0.00 m

Based on the dimensions of the structure, there are the following calculated collection areas:

Collection area for direct lightning strikes: 1,600.00 m²

Collection area for indirect lightning strikes: 810,398.00 m²


(near the structure)

DEHN Risk Tool 18/26 (3.120) - 9/27/2023 Page 6 of 14


Risk analysis for assessing the risk for structures according to
BS EN 62305-2:2012

The environment surrounding the structure is an important factor for determining the number of possible
direct / indirect lightning strikes. This is defined as follows for the structure Object:
Relative location Cdb: 0.25

If the ground flash density is referred to the size and the environment of the structure, a frequency of:
• direct strikes to the structure ND = 0.0002 strikes / year,
• indirect strikes to the structure NM = 0.3242 strikes / year,

is to be expected.

4.3 Division of the structure into lightning protection zones/zones

The structure Object was divided into following lightning protection zones / zones:

- LPZ 0B - Structure protected against direct lightning strikes

- LPZ 1 - Inner zone of the protected structure

- LPZ 2 - Room/device in LPZ 1 with shielding properties

According to the standard, the lightning protection zones are defined as follows:

LPZ 0B = Protected against direct lightning flashes but where the threat is the full
lightning electromagnetic field. The internal systems may be subjected to
partial lightning surge currents.

LPZ 1 = Surge current is limited by current sharing and SPDs at the boundary. Spatial
shielding may attenuate the lightning electromagnetic field.

LPZ 2 … n = Surge current may be further limited by current sharing and additional SPDs

Risk analysis for assessing the risk for structures according to
BS EN 62305-2:2012

at the boundary. Additional spatial shielding may be used to further attenuate


the lightning electromagnetic field.

4.4 Supply lines

All incoming and outgoing supply lines of the structure to be considered must be taken into account in the
risk analysis. Conductive pipes do not have to be considered if they are connected to the main earthing
busbar of the structure. If this is not the case, the risk of incoming pipes should be considered in the risk
analysis (observe that equipotential bonding is required!).

The following supply lines were considered for the structure Object in the risk analysis:

- Power Line
- Telecom and Control

Parameters such as
• Type of conductor (overhead line / buried conductor)
• Conductor length (outside the building)
• Environment
• Connected structure
• Type of internal wiring (shielded / unshielded)
• Minimum rated impulse withstand voltage (dielectric strength of terminal equipment) were
determined for every defined conductor.

On this basis, the risk for the structure and its content resulting from lightning strikes to and near the
supply lines was determined and assessed in the risk analysis.

4.5 Risk of fire

The risk of fire in a structure is an important factor for determining the required protection measures. The
risk of fire for the structure Object was defined as follows:

Z1 Z2 Z3
No risk of fire or explosion ¨ ¨ ¨
Low risk of fire ¨ ¨ ¨
Normal risk of fire þ þ þ
High risk of fire ¨ ¨ ¨
Explosion - Ex zone 2, 22 ¨ ¨ ¨
Explosion - Ex zone 1, 21 ¨ ¨ ¨
Explosion - Ex zone 0, 20 and
solid explosive ¨ ¨ ¨

4.6 Measures to reduce the consequences of a fire

The following measures were selected to reduce the consequences of a fire:

4.7 Special hazards in the building for persons

Due to the number of persons, the possible risk of panic for the structure Object was defined as follows:

Z1 Z2 Z3
No special hazard ¨ ¨ ¨
Low level of panic (e.g. a
structure limited to two floors and
the number of persons not þ þ þ
greater than 100)
Average level of panic (e.g.

sport events with a number of ¨ ¨ ¨
participants between 100 and 1
000 persons)

structures with immobile persons, ¨ ¨ ¨
hospitals)
High level of panic (e.g.
structures designed for cultural or
sport events with a number of ¨ ¨ ¨
participants – greater than 1 000
persons)

7. General information

7.1 Components of the external lightning protection system


Lightning protection components used for the construction of the external lightning protection system must
comply with the mechanical and electrical requirements defined in the BS EN 62561-x standard series.
This standard series is for example divided into following parts:

- BS EN 62561-1:2012 Requirements for connection components


- BS EN 62561-2:2012 Requirements for conductors and earth electrodes
- BS EN 62561-3:2012 Requirements for isolating spark gaps
- BS EN 62561-4:2011 Requirements for conductor fasteners
- BS EN 62561-5:2011 Requirements for electrode inspection housings and earth
electrode seals

7.1.1 BS EN 62561-1:2012 Requirements for connection components


The requirements for connection components such as clamps are defined in BS EN 62561-1. For the
installer of lightning protection systems this means that the connection components are to be selected for
the load (H or N) to be expected at the place of installation. Therefore, a clamp for load H (100 kA) is to be
used e.g. for an air-termination rod (100% lightning current) and a clamp for load N (50 kA) e.g. for a mesh
or an earth entry (lightning current already distributed). The suitability for these applications must be
proven by the manufacturer.

7.1.2 BS EN 62561-2:2012 Requirements for conductors and earth electrodes


The BS EN 62561-2 specifies concrete requirements for conductors, such as air-termination and down
conductors as well as earth electrodes. These are defined as follows:
- Mechanical properties (minimum tensile strength and elongation),
- Electrical properties (maximum resistivity) and
- Corrosion protection properties (artificial aging).

The BS EN 62561-2 standard also specifies the requirements for earth electrodes and earth rods. In this
context, the material, geometry, minimum dimensions as well as the mechanical and electrical properties
are important. These normative requirements are relevant product features, which must be documented in
the manufacturers' documents and product datasheets.

7.1.3 BS EN 62561-3:2012 Requirements for isolating spark gaps


Isolating spark gaps can be used to galvanically isolate an earth-termination system.BS EN 62561-3
specifies that isolating spark gaps must be dimensioned in such a way that the components, if installed
according to the manufacturer's instructions, are reliable, durable and safe for persons and nearby
installations.

7.1.4 BS EN 62561-4:2011 Requirements for conductor fasteners


The BS EN 62561-4 standard specifies the requirements and tests for metal and non-metal conductor
fasteners used with air-termination and down conductors.

7.1.5 BS EN 62561-5:2011 Requirements for electrode inspection housings and earth electrode
seals
All earth electrode inspection housings and earth electrode seals must be designed in such a way that they
are reliable and safe for persons and the environment when used as intended. BS EN 62561-5 specifies
the requirements and tests for earth electrode inspection housings (e.g. pressure load) and for earth
electrode seals (e.g. leak test).

The ground flash density Ng is the basis for a risk analysis according to BS EN 62305-2:2012. It defines
the number of direct lightning strikes in 1 / year / km². A value of 0.40 lightning strikes / year / km² was
determined for the location of the structure Object by means of the ground flash density map. As a result,
there is a calculated number 4.00 thunderstorm days per year for the location of the project.

The dimensions of the building are decisive for the risk of a direct strike. The collection areas for direct /
indirect lightning strikes are determined based on these dimensions. The structure Object has the following
dimensions:

Lb Length: 21.00 m

Wb Width: 18.00 m

Hb Height: 8.00 m

Hpb Highest point (if applicable): 0.00 m

Based on the dimensions of the structure, there are the following calculated collection areas:

Collection area for direct lightning strikes: 4,059.00 m²

Collection area for indirect lightning strikes: 824,398.00 m²


(near the structure)

Risk analysis for assessing the risk for structures according to
BS EN 62305-2:2012

The environment surrounding the structure is an important factor for determining the number of possible
direct / indirect lightning strikes. This is defined as follows for the structure Object:
Relative location Cdb: 0.25

If the ground flash density is referred to the size and the environment of the structure, a frequency of:
• direct strikes to the structure ND = 0.0004 strikes / year,
• indirect strikes to the structure NM = 0.3298 strikes / year,

is to be expected.

4.3 Division of the structure into lightning protection zones/zones

The structure Object was not divided into lightning protection zones / zones.

4.4 Supply lines

All incoming and outgoing supply lines of the structure to be considered must be taken into account in the
risk analysis. Conductive pipes do not have to be considered if they are connected to the main earthing
busbar of the structure. If this is not the case, the risk of incoming pipes should be considered in the risk
analysis (observe that equipotential bonding is required!).

The following supply lines were considered for the structure Object in the risk analysis:

- Power Line
- Telecom and Control

Parameters such as
• Type of conductor (overhead line / buried conductor)
• Conductor length (outside the building)
• Environment

Risk analysis for assessing the risk for structures according to
BS EN 62305-2:2012

• Connected structure
• Type of internal wiring (shielded / unshielded)
• Minimum rated impulse withstand voltage (dielectric strength of terminal equipment) were
determined for every defined conductor.

On this basis, the risk for the structure and its content resulting from lightning strikes to and near the
supply lines was determined and assessed in the risk analysis.

4.5 Risk of fire

The risk of fire in a structure is an important factor for determining the required protection measures. The
risk of fire for the structure Object was defined as follows:

- Explosion - Ex zone 1, 21

4.6 Measures to reduce the consequences of a fire

The following measures were selected to reduce the consequences of a fire:

- No measures

4.7 Special hazards in the building for persons

Due to the number of persons, the possible risk of panic for the structure Object was defined as follows:

- Low level of panic (e.g. a structure limited to two floors and the number of persons not greater
than 100)

5. Risk assessment

As described in 4.1, the following risks according to 5.were assessed. The blue bar shows the tolerable
risk value and the green / red bar shows the risk determined.

5.1 Risk R1, Human life

7. General information

7.1 Components of the external lightning protection system


Lightning protection components used for the construction of the external lightning protection system must
comply with the mechanical and electrical requirements defined in the BS EN 62561-x standard series.
This standard series is for example divided into following parts:

- BS EN 62561-1:2012 Requirements for connection components


- BS EN 62561-2:2012 Requirements for conductors and earth electrodes
- BS EN 62561-3:2012 Requirements for isolating spark gaps
- BS EN 62561-4:2011 Requirements for conductor fasteners
- BS EN 62561-5:2011 Requirements for electrode inspection housings and earth
electrode seals

7.1.1 BS EN 62561-1:2012 Requirements for connection components


The requirements for connection components such as clamps are defined in BS EN 62561-1. For the
installer of lightning protection systems this means that the connection components are to be selected for
the load (H or N) to be expected at the place of installation. Therefore, a clamp for load H (100 kA) is to be
used e.g. for an air-termination rod (100% lightning current) and a clamp for load N (50 kA) e.g. for a mesh
or an earth entry (lightning current already distributed). The suitability for these applications must be
proven by the manufacturer.

7.1.2 BS EN 62561-2:2012 Requirements for conductors and earth electrodes


The BS EN 62561-2 specifies concrete requirements for conductors, such as air-termination and down
conductors as well as earth electrodes. These are defined as follows:
- Mechanical properties (minimum tensile strength and elongation),
- Electrical properties (maximum resistivity) and
- Corrosion protection properties (artificial aging).

The BS EN 62561-2 standard also specifies the requirements for earth electrodes and earth rods. In this
context, the material, geometry, minimum dimensions as well as the mechanical and electrical properties
are important. These normative requirements are relevant product features, which must be documented in
the manufacturers' documents and product datasheets.

7.1.3 BS EN 62561-3:2012 Requirements for isolating spark gaps


Isolating spark gaps can be used to galvanically isolate an earth-termination system.BS EN 62561-3
specifies that isolating spark gaps must be dimensioned in such a way that the components, if installed
according to the manufacturer's instructions, are reliable, durable and safe for persons and nearby
installations.

7.1.4 BS EN 62561-4:2011 Requirements for conductor fasteners


The BS EN 62561-4 standard specifies the requirements and tests for metal and non-metal conductor
fasteners used with air-termination and down conductors.

7.1.5 BS EN 62561-5:2011 Requirements for electrode inspection housings and earth electrode
seals
All earth electrode inspection housings and earth electrode seals must be designed in such a way that they
are reliable and safe for persons and the environment when used as intended. BS EN 62561-5 specifies
the requirements and tests for earth electrode inspection housings (e.g. pressure load) and for earth
electrode seals (e.g. leak test).
