9 Use natural components
Metallic installations can used natural com-
ponents conductor system, provided that:
• Electrical continuity permanent,
• Their dimensions correspond least the values
for standardised conductors (Table 2. painted layer.5 mm.6). re-
inforced concrete steel sup-
ports) are used, often not pos-
sible isolate the lightning pro-
tection system and earthing
system.
• Natural elements for down-conductors systems
must executed according IEC 62365-3.g.2.
• Facade elements can also used downcon-
ductors systems, provided that they are electrically
interconnected.
Precondition for facade elements and metallic con-
structions:
• Their dimensions must correspond the require-
ments for down-conductors and the thickness of
the metal plates/pipes must least 0.
2.g.
• stressed concrete, the risk impermissible
mechanical influences due exposure lightning
current taken into account.Example: vertical facade elements
When natural conductors (e.
Electrically connected reinforced concrete (metal re-
inforcement) can used natural component of
a conductor system if:
• Connection points are provided reinforced con-
crete part,
• the prefabricated concrete parts are interconnected
during mounting the construction site.
Pipelines with combustible explosive contents are
not permitted, the seals flange couplings are not
connected that they are electrically conductive.
