Air-termina-
tion systems are required the dark grey areas. Only
the planning methods named IEC/EN 62305-3 shall
be used for planning. The air-termination rods
must arranged such way that all parts the
structure protected are located the protection
area the air-termination system.
For all types air-termination system, only the actual
dimensions the metallic air-termination system shall
be taken into account during planning according to
IEC/EN 62305-3. Others, such the "Collection
Volume Method" (CVM), are excluded the stand-
ard.
The rolling sphere method can used determine
the required lengths air-termination rods and the
distances between them.

Rolling sphere method (dark grey areas are areas risk strike)
The building that protected must fitted with
air-termination systems such way that sphere
with radius determined the basis the lightning
protection class cannot touch the building. This should also taken into ac-
count with all so-called "active" air-termination sys-
tems, such ESE "Early Streamer Emission"
