Determine the protected area follows: transfer the
height the building the diagram and read off the
protective angle.1st step: Installing the air-termination system
First, round conductor installed all primary im-
pact points such ridges, crests edges. our example, this angle 62° with
protection class III and building height m. Transfer the protective angle the building. All build-
ing parts within this angle are protected.

Chapter The external lightning protection system
. You can now read the protective angle
(α) off the vertical axis (“1”).
Transfer the protective angle the building. Then proceed vertic-
ally
until you meet the curve for your lightning protectio (in
this case: III).
All building parts within this angle are protected. our example, the angle
is 62°.
