What you will learn
At the end of this unit, you will:

• Understand the application of relevant laws of electricity and magnetism in lightning and surge protection design considerations.
• Understand the underlying lightning current design parameters used in BS EN 62305 Part 1.
Who should learn
Before embarking on the course, it was expected that the delegate/student would have learned the use of Ohm’s Law, concept of resistance, inductance and capacitance. Ideally, the delegate/student is working in the field of electrical services engineering either in design/inspection or in installation/testing.
