Chapter The external lightning protection system
. The ridge conductor arranged on
the ridge and thus forms the “backbone” for the air-
termination system. All building parts with-
in this angle are protected. our example, the building is
10 high. This height
is the starting point for planning the entire lightning
protection system. You can
now read the protective angle (α) off the vertical axis
(“1”). our example, the angle 62°. All parts the building that not fall un-
der the protective angle are risk from direct light-
ning strikes. Then
proceed vertically until you meet the curve for your
lightning protection class (in this case: III). Transfer the
protective angle the building.
