((better)) — Lightning Protection Calculation

[ A_d = L \times W + 2 \times (L + W) \times H + \pi \times H^2 ]

The calculates zones protected by air terminals: A sphere of radius ( r ) (from table above) is rolled over the structure. Any surface touched by the sphere needs direct protection. 5. Down Conductor Spacing Number of down conductors required:

(approx.):

For an isolated rectangular building:

[ R = N \times P \times L ]

:

[ n = \fracPd ]

[ V_step = \fracI \cdot \rho2 \pi r ]
