Together, insu-
lated external lightning protection system and shield-
ing measures make contribution the guarantee of
the electromagnetic compatibility and thus the safe
operation electrical systems the case light-
ning strike.
This not only offers benefits industry, e. every case, the galvanic de-
coupling the lightning current the structure pro-
tects the electrical roof structures against the impacts
of direct lightning strike. However, the major benefit
of insulated external lightning protection system is
the reduction potential differences the equipoten-
tial bonding system the structure. However, the level the magnetic field

An insulated conductor can installed invisible

technical and architectural fields, high-voltage-resist-
ant, insulated conductor can offer considerable bene-
fits compared the mechanical set-up with insulators.g.The requirements and type tests for insulators and
high-voltage-resistant insulated conductors are spe-
cified the newly released IEC 62561-8.
