Surge Protection to BS EN/IEC 62305 Unit 4: Introduction to lightning protection zones
This unit will introduce the concept of lightning protection zone. Both BS7671 and BS EN 62305 use lightning protection zones (LPZs) to identify the need for lightning shielding and the nature of surge current impacting the LPZ. BS EN 62305 will take precedence over BS7671 in the designation of LPZs in a building or structure.
