Surge Protection to BS EN/IEC 62305 Unit 9: BS 7671 regulations on surge protection (2)
The use of Type 1, Type 1/2, Type 2 or Type 3 Surge protection devices is highly dependent on the location of the equipment and the transition interface of the supply cable between lightning protection zones (LPZs). This unit will introduce the lightning protection zone concept as per BS EN 62305-4 and BS7671 section 534 and examine what type of SPDs should be provided at relevant locations.
