Lightning is a natural phenomenon of disruptive electrostatic discharge which is produced when static electricity accumulates between a cloud and the earth. The different electric potential between the two points can be up to 100 million volts and produces plasma on discharge, causing an explosive expansion in the air through release of heat.

When it disperses, this plasma creates both a flash of light (lightning) and a sound (thunder).

Formation of or the arrival of a storm cloud creates an electric field between the cloud

and the ground. This electric field increases up to values of 10 kV/m, thus initiating creation of corona discharges from irregularities on the ground or from metal structures (projections).

Lightning between the cloud and the ground is composed of both downward leaders and upward leaders.

The negative downward leader (most frequent case), starts within the negative masses of

the cloud.

This leader then propagates downward in a succession of intermittent steps (contrary to the positive leader which travels without stepping) of about ten metres and with pauses of 40 à 100 µs between steps.

As the leader progresses, one can see numerous forks pointing downwards.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT LIGHTNING

Upward positive leader

Lightning tends to hit high altitude

areas and prominent objects. Thunder may resonate with a sharp cracking sound when the lightning is near and rumble when it is further away. As light travels faster than sound, lightning is visible before the thunder may be heard.

When the electrostatic field is over the

dielectric limits of the air (variable depending on humidity and atmospheric pressure), a lightning discharge is produced and accompanied by a sound wave: thunder (produced by the sudden dilatation of air over-heated by the electric arc).

The manufacture of lightning risk

protection implicates assessing

geographic and climatic conditions to determine the level of exposure to the structure which is to be protected.

The parameters to consider are

notably:

• The keraunic level N k. It expresses the mean annual value of the number of days with storms (days when thunder can be heard in a specific place).

• Density of strike N g. It indicates

the mean value of the number of lightning strikes noted per year and per km².


Density of lightning Ng in the world

In France, the number of lightning strikes hitting the ground is about a million a year.

Although the probability of being hit by lightning is about one in a million, damage caused by lightning per year represents:

• 15 to 40 deaths • 20 000 animals hit by lightning • 20 000 lightning accidents due to lightning, including 15 000 fires • 50 000 electrical junction boxes destroyed • 250 steeples destroyed • 1 billion euros

Without adequate protection, propagation of lightni ng current can lead to multiple effects which are divided into two main categories: direct and indirect effects:

Direct effects • Mechanical effects take place when

lightning strikes (such as distortion, break-off destruction, ...)

• Thermal effects (or "Joule’s law")

cause fusion on impact point, or destruction by explosion of the material or even starting of fires.

• Electrochemical effects mean the

chemical transformation of materials through electrolytic reactions (negligible, mostly present on earths).

• Step potential can provoke burns or

cause respiratory failure or cardiac arrest when the lightning current passes through heterogeneous soils.

Indirect effects • Overvoltages are conducted when

lightning strikes an electrical line or pylon directly. The current is propagated and reaches all the installations along the line, even several kilometres away from the point of impact.

• Overvoltages are induced by

electromagnetic radiation of the lightning current on all nearby metal elements. Overvoltages and transient currents thus appear on all equipment which is connected to these elements, with proportional effects depending on the intensity and proximity of the lightning strike.

• Surges in tension on the earthing

systems, which take place when the current spreads into the ground, provoke damaging tension differences between the mass of the equipment and the networks to which they are connected.

• Earth potential rise of non-negligible

current from a lightning strike is evacuated by the earth of the air terminal and sent to the earth of the installation.

To reduce and to protect from these different effects (both direct and indirect), it is necessary to have a state-of-the-art Installation for External Lightning Protection System (ELPS) and Interior Lightning Protection System (ILPS), with particular care taken in earthing and interconnections with the conducting elements running alongside the down conductors poles and the electric masses of the installation.


The detection network for storms at « Météorage » enables to determine the values of the density of lightning strikes over the whole of France. When density is not known for any

one site, it can be deduced from Nk according to the following equation:

Lorsque la densité n’est pas

connue pour un site donné, elle peut être déduite de Nk selon la relation suivante :

10k

g

NN =

Depending on the geographical

situation, of the type of electrical power supply or the presence or absence of an air terminal, the installation of a protection system against overvoltages may be compulsory as the following table shows:

Installing a protection system against

overvoltages enables to reduce the probabilities of accidents causes by constraints or overvoltages to an acceptable

level, thus providing a safe environment for people or property.

Density of Lightning in France

Statutory NV65 (Snow and winds 65) in force since February 2009 were established to fix the values of climatic overvoltages and to provide evaluation methods for the efforts corresponding to a complete building or on its different parts.

In respect of these rules, the France

Paratonnerres extended poles have been designed to resist in extremely windy conditions without guying. However, it may sometimes be necessary to check the mechanical strength of the planned installation when a superior level needs to be guaranteed.

France Paratonnerres will then

recommend the right and reliable solution by carrying out a detailed study using the appropriate software. Please consult us if you have special requirements.

Statutory NV65 and in particular the national annexe of standard NF EN 1991-1-4 provide a wind map established on the basis of a statistical study completed in 2005. (fig.5)

This map divides France into 5 areas. Each area is then divided into 3 different sites

Protected site : hollow area surrounded by hills and therefore protected from winds coming from all directions.

Normal site : wide plain or plateau with few differences in gradient with slopes below 10%. Exposed site : near the sea: the coast in general (going inland for about 6 kms), tops of cliffs, islands or narrow peninsulas. Inland: narrow valleys where the wind sweeps through; isolated or high mountains and certain mountain passes

Lightning protection is a domain which is regulated by a large number of standards to which France Paratonnerres adheres to when devel oping or marketing its many products. .

NF C 17-102 : Protection contre la

foudre : This standard describes the set up

regulations for the protection of structures and open zones against direct lightning strikes by Early Streamer Emission (E.S.E.) Air Terminal.

It gives the rules relative to conception, manufacture, verification and maintenance of installations made using E.S.E. Air Terminals.

This standard basically describes the E.S.E. Air Terminal product and gives test procedures to be carried out..

NF C 15-100 : Low voltage electrical

installations:

This standard is applicable to all electrical installations with a power supply of below or equal to 1000V alternative current and to 1500V continuous current.

This document lists the rules for design and creation of electrical installations which are to be applied to ensure correct working conditions and safety.

Articles 443 and 534.1 describe more particularly protection measures against voltage and electromagnetic variations.

EN 61643-11 : Low voltage surge

protector devices – surge protector devices connected to low voltage distribution networks – Requirements and tests :

This standard describes the

requirements and tests enabling characterisation of surge protector devices connected to low voltage distribution networks.

EN 50164 : Lightning Protection

Components :

This series of standards is a « product » standard describing the technical characteristics which the various components for protection against lightning have to respect. The series is divided into 7 standardised volumes for different products:

• EN 50164-1 : Requirements for

connection components • EN 50164-2 : Requirements for

conductors and earth electrodes • EN 50164-3 : Requirements for

isolating spark gaps • EN 50164-4 : Requirements for

conductor fastenings • EN 50164-5 : Requirements for

earth electrode inspection housings and earth electrode seals

• EN 50164-6 : Requirements for lightning strike counters

• EN 50164-7 : Requirements for earth enhancing compounds

Regulations

EN 62305 : Protection against

lightning : This series of standards is divided

into 4 volumes and first explains the general principles of lightning, then a gives a method for the evaluation of risks. The third volume describes the rules for the installation of lightning protection systems protecting people and buildings; the final volume proposes protection measures to reduce the risks of network and communication failure:

• EN 62305-1: General principles • EN 62305-2: Risk evaluation • EN 62305-3: Physical damage to

structures and life hazard • EN 62305-4: Electrical and

electronic systems within structures

UTE C 17-108 : Simplified Lightning

Risk Analysis :

This document is a guide offering a simplified method to analyse lightning risks. The method is inspired from the full lightning risk analysis described in EN 62305-2. The method is described as being simplified because it only contains a limited number of parameters compared to the full method. It is therefore only applicable for structures where:

• No explosive product or

atmosphere is present • No danger for the environment

is present • Fire risk is low or ordinary • Fire risk is high but risk of panic is

low

UTE C 15-712 : Photovoltaic

Installations : This document is a guide describing

the rules for installing photovoltaic generators connected to the low voltage public distribution network and not designed to work autonomously.

It also gives the rules for the installation of AC and DC surge protector devices providing protection for overcurrents and overvoltages.

UTE C 15-443 : Protection of low

voltage electrical installations against overvoltages of atmospheric origin or due to manoeuvres. Choice and installation of surge protector devices.

This practical guide indicates

conditions relative to the choice and the implementation of surge protector devices in low voltage installations. It details and completes articles 443 and 534.1 of standard NF C 15-100.

Regulations

France Paratonnerres certified « Qualifoudre » by I NERIS, is committed to carrying out studies in conformity to standard NF E N 62305-2.

Our Design Office is qualified for all types of Lightning Risk Analysis (LRA) and Technical

Studies (TS).

The Design Office can manage both :

Analyses considered complex as described in standard EN 62305-2. Simpler analyses as in the practical guide NF C 17-108.

Lightning Risk Analysis cannot be prescribed and does not quantify the materials

implemented for proposed solutions. These elements are defined by the technical study depending on the protection measures chosen.

Complex Lightning Risk Analysis is managed according to the risk evaluation method as

described in standard EN 62305-2. Risk evaluation enables the selection of values in consideration of elements in the

building which needs protecting. These values will be included in the calculations to find the best level of protection to implement.


FRANCE PARATONNERRES

For complex cases, France Paratonnerres uses Jupiter software, distributed by UTE, and

developed to carry out calculations with respect to the standard. The France Paratonnerres Design Office has also developed its own risk evaluation tool

based on the information in the practical guide UTE C 17-108 dedicated to the simplified analysis of lightning.

A version of this tool can be obtained online from the company by simple request.

http://www.france-paratonnerres.com . This software programme can, depending on the characteristics of the building to be

protected:

• Geographical situation • Location factor • Dimensions • Specific danger • Fire risk • Occupation of the building • Existing supply services

To know if when an external and internal lightning protection system is present, (according to the four levels of protection available), the building is or is not protected.

The software programme identifies the level of risk depending on the characteristics of the building and compares it to a tolerated risk level.

Once the protection level has been chosen the Design Office will establish a technical study with the type of protection to be installed.

Software of Simplified Lightning Risk Management


Our teams are qualified to intervene on all types o f site, from simple to complex

THE IONIFLASH MACH ® WORKS FOR ALL POSITIVE AND

NEGATIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES

FUNCTIONNING :

When the downward leader gets close to the ground (about 100 metres above the point), it generates an electric field above it which increases until 100 kilovolts per metre.

This is when the corona discharge effect takes place, changing suddenly from a

position at the tip to an upward leader. These positive upward leaders suddenly move in the direction of the downward leader.

One of the leaders, the closest or the one which has started earlier or the one which has travelled the faster, enters into contact with the downward leader. Then, the ionised air channel is in connection with both the ground and the cloud, and the return stroke can take place, engendering a high lightning current of many kA.

The air terminal IONIFLASH MACH ® is a device for lightning protection with a spherical metal part fixed to the top. This sphere is insulated from the rod by a ring made from a material with very high electrical insulation properties.

When a storm comes, the external electrode (sphere) charges under the influence of the electric field until the potential reaches a critical value from which a spark appears between the exterior electrode and the tip of the central electrode. The tip enables plasma to be created close by the tip.

The plasma, in association with the intense electric field created close by the tip,

constitutes the first stage of development of an upward leader. The spark produced at the top of the IONIFLASH MACH ® air terminal will initiate the

advance of the discharge, engendering an upward leader moving in the direction of the downward leader.

Captu re, brackets and Fastening systems

TESTS in LABORATORIES

The Early Streamer Emission air terminal IONIFLASH MACH ® is a non-electronic system. The absence of electronic makes it extremely reliable and easy to install on a very large variety of sites.

In addition, the materials used to make IONIFLASH

MACH ® have been selected for their resistance to both corrosion and very high temperatures.

An Early Streamer Emission air terminal is

designed to reduce the average statistic time associated with streamer emission of the upward leader. An E.S.E. presents a gain in early streamer emission time compared to a Simple Rod device, placed in the same conditions. The gain is evaluated in a high voltage laboratory.

During tests in accordance with standard NFC

17-102, carried out in different High Voltage laboratories our IONIFLASH MACH ® 60, 45 and 30 obtained an excellent breakdown average time <T’> with a very low standard deviation σσσσ compared to a simple rod device used as a reference.

IN COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

Although the three air terminals present a gain in streamer emission time greater than 60µs, we decided to limit gains in streamer emission time (∆T) of IONIFLASH MACH 60, IONIFLASH MACH 45, and IONIFLASH MACH 30 at 60µs for our three models.

This gain in emission time of the upward leader enables a gain in distance of about 60 m

compared to a conventional air terminal (by taking into account that average speed of leaders is about 1m/µs).

Thus, the protection of our IONIFLASH® MACH, for a surface to be protected, depends on

the lightning level of protection determined by the lightning risk evaluation (EN 62305-2), on the height of the tip of the air terminal and on the early streamer emission time (∆T).

The IONIFLASH MACH range has also shown a very good electric and mechanical

resistance during lightning strokes in the 10/350µs waveform at a current level of 100kA. Indeed, after having undergone 2 series of 7 shocks at 100kA, one with a negative polarity

and the other with a positive polarity, the air terminal shows, both after visual inspection and by recording of voltages and currents, that there is no indication of deterioration or perforation except for parts where the lightning current flowed out where traces of streamer emission and fusion appeared.

Morreover, the IONIFLASH MACH have passed insulatio n tests in rain conditions. Tests have been performed according to IEC 60060-1 standard protocol. The

insulation is greater than 97 %. The IONIFLASH MACH® has been tested strictly in re spect of the procedures

defined in the NFC 17-102 in : - AMPERE CNRS (National Scientific Research Cente r) Laboratory in LYON

- LABORATOIRE DE GENIE ELECTRIQUE in PAU (under baili ff’s control).

- TESTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS NFC 17-102 2 nd edition 2009, UNE 21186 Annex C, EN 50164, EN62305 and NP44 26

TESTS IN SITU FOR IONIFLASH MACH® ARE IN PROGRESS.


RADIUS OF PROTECTION:

The protection radius (Rp) of an air terminal with early streamer emission (E.S.E.) depends

on the height (h) at which it is installed in relation to the surface to protect, of its early streamer emission (∆t) and the level of protection chosen (Np).

(1). If there is an environmental risk, the protection area must be reduced by 40% according to the interpretation sheet F5 (2006) of standard NF C 17-102.

(2). The protection level is determined either by using the guide UTE C 17-108 according to the interpretation sheet F4 of the basic standard NF C 17-102, or by using standard NF EN 62305-2


Simple lightning rod air terminal

RADIUS OF PROTECTION The protected volume of a simple lightning rod depends of the height (h) of the masts where it is installed in relation to the surface to be protected, and of the Level of protection (Np). For most of the case, the angle of protection method is suited. The angle of protection is constant for heights h lower than 2m.

Angle of protection according to the EN 62305 standard

In comparison with the IONIFLASH MACH ESE, the table below indicates the protection radius (Rp), versus the height of the simple air-terminal and gives the protected volume.
