A.5.2
Rules for the Transition between Lightning Protection Zones
0 and 1
Rule for the Transition 0 <-> 1 (Lightning Protection Equipotential Bonding)
The following measures are suitable for lightning protection equipotential bonding
at the transition between lightning protection zone:
Use grounded, spiralled, current-conducting metal strips or metal braiding, for
example, NYCY or A2Y(K)Y, as a cable shield at the start and end,
and
Lay cable
– in continuous metal pipes that are grounded at the start and end, or
– in ducts of armored concrete with continuous armoring or
– on closed metal cable racks grounded at the start and end,
or
Use fiber-optic cables instead of lightning stroke current-carrying cables.
Additional Measures
If you cannot take the measures listed above, you must install a high-voltage
protector at transition 0 <->1 with a relevant lightning conductor. Table A-2 contains
the components you can use for high-voltage protection of your plant.
