order achieve this, a
building's entire energy network split into lightning
protection zones.
Equipotential bonding created each transition
from one zone another.
LPZ A
Unprotected zone outside the building.
• Economic, easy plan individual protection
concept for new and old buildings and reconstruc-
tions.
• Local equipotential bonding within the protection
zone. The lightning protection
zone concept based the principle gradually
reducing surges safe level before they reach ter-
minals and cause damage. Low surges possible

The lightning protection zone (LPZ) concept described
in the international standard IEC 62305-4 has proved
to practical and efficient. shielding against LEMP

Benefits the lightning protection zone concept
• Minimisation the surge voltage couplings into
other cable systems arresting the energy-rich,
dangerous lightning currents directly the building
entry point and the cable’s point transition
between zones. Direct lightning strike, shielding against electromagnetic interfer-
ence pulses LEMP (Lightning Electromagnetic Pulse)
LPZ Zone protected external lightning protection system.

equipment requires the same level protection.
• Reduction malfunctions due magnetic fields. Metal parts are connected
