Protection against lightning - Part 2: Risk management
IEC 62305-2:2010 is applicable to risk assessment for a structure due to lightning flashes to earth. Its purpose is to provide a procedure for the evaluation of such a risk. Once an upper tolerable limit for the risk has been selected, this procedure allows the selection of appropriate protection measures to be adopted to reduce the risk to or below the tolerable limit. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2006, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
1) Risk assessment for services connected to structures is excluded from the scope.
2) Injuries of living beings caused by electric shock inside the structure are considered.
3) Tolerable risk of loss of cultural heritage is lowered from 10-3 to 10-4. The value of tolerable risk of loss of economic value (RT = 10-3) is introduced, to be used when data for cost/benefit analysis are not available.
4) Extended damage to surroundings structures or to the environment is considered.
5) Improved equations are provided for evaluation of
- collection areas relevant to flashes nearby a structure,
- collection areas relevant to flashes to and nearby a line,
- probabilities that a flash can cause damage,
- loss factors even in structures with risk of explosion,
- risk relevant to a zone of a structure,
- cost of loss.
6) Tables are provided to select the relative amount of loss in all cases.
7) Impulse withstand voltage level of equipments was extended down to 1 kV.
This bilingual version corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2010-12.
Protection contre la foudre - Partie 2: Evaluation des risques
La CEI 62305-2:2010 est applicable à l'évaluation des risques, dans une structure, en raison des coups de foudre au sol. Elle est destinée à proposer une procédure d'évaluation d'un tel risque. Une fois fixée la limite supérieure du risque tolérable, la procédure proposée permet de choisir les mesures de protection appropriées pour réduire le risque à une valeur inférieure ou égale à la valeur limite tolérable. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition, publiée en 2006, et constitue une révision technique. Par rapport à la précédente, cette édition comprend les modifications techniques significatives suivantes:
1) L'évaluation des risques pour les services connectés aux structures est exclue du domaine d'application.
2) Les blessures aux êtres vivants dues au choc électrique à l'intérieur de la structure sont prises en compte.
3) Le risque tolérable de perte du patrimoine culturel est réduit de 10-3 à 10-4. La valeur du risque tolérable de perte de valeur économique (RT = 10-3) est introduite pour être utilisée lorsque les données applicables à l'analyse de rentabilité ne sont pas disponibles.
4) Les dommages étendus aux structures avoisinantes ou à l'environnement sont pris en compte.
5) Des équations améliorées sont fournies pour l'évaluation des éléments suivants:
- surfaces équivalentes d'exposition pour les coups de foudre à proximité d'une structure;
- surfaces équivalentes d'exposition pour les coups de foudre sur et à proximité d'un service;
- probabilités qu'un coup de foudre puisse provoquer des dommages;
- facteurs de pertes même dans des structures avec risque d'explosion;
- risque valable pour une zone d'une structure;
- coût des pertes.
6) Les tableaux sont fournis pour sélectionner le coût relatif des pertes dans tous les cas.
7) Le niveau de tension de tenue aux chocs des matériels a été porté jusqu'à 1 kV.
La présente version bilingue correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2010-12.
