Diagram assist determining the protective angle accordance with IEC 62305
2nd step: Determine the protective angle
Example:
The height the building (in this case: is
entered onto the horizontal axis the diagram (see
point axis "2" graph above).1st step: Installing the air-termination system
First, round conductor installed all primary im-
pact points such ridges, crests edges.
Transfer the protective angle the building. Then proceed vertic-
ally
until you meet the curve for your lightning protectio (in
this case: III).

Chapter The external lightning protection system
. All build-
ing parts within this angle are protected. our example, the angle
is 62°.
Determine the protected area follows: transfer the
height the building the diagram and read off the
protective angle. Transfer the protective angle the building. You can now read the protective angle
(α) off the vertical axis (“1”).
All building parts within this angle are protected. our example, this angle 62° with
protection class III and building height m
