Course content

5 sections • 23 lectures • 2h 6m total length

Introduction Video1:44
This video summarizes what to expect in the course and who might be interested in joining the course
Formation of Clouds4:13
We'll discuss the different type of cloud formations
Downward Streamer Formation Steps3:48
The process of the formation of the downward streamer is discussed in details. This process leads to the flash of the lightning.
Structure of the course2:18
We'll discuss the structure of the course and how we will investigate each of the four parts of the BS EN 62305 standard.
Meaning of the Lightning Protection Level6:23
In this lecture we will investigate the meaning of the lightning protection level and its characteristics. We'll discuss how class IV is different than class III.

Introduction to Part 3 of BS EN 623053:40
This is the first video on external lightning protection system. We will pave the road to learn more on the design of such a system
Air Termination System- What is it about?5:05
In this section we will discuss about the air termination system. It is important to design a proper air termination system to ensure that the structure is fully protected.
Rolling Sphere Method- What is this method?7:41
The rolling sphere method is implemented to ensure that the air termination system we discussed previously is installed properly and in the appropriate locations.
Rolling Sphere Method with examples5:45
Examples on the rolling sphere method will help in understanding the concept.
Rolling Sphere Method with an example using Autocad4:11
A small example implementing the rolling sphere method using Autocad is done.
Protective Angle Method7:30
Using the protective angle method can help in visualization of the design easier than that using the rolling sphere method
Protective Angle Method and Examples8:48
We will present some examples on the protective angle method
Down Conductors and the Earthing Termination System5:37
We'll discuss the down conductors and the earthing termination system.
What is the separation distance?5:42
Separation Distance is important aspect in design to ensure no flash over happens towards our system.
Inspection Plan and strategy4:43
Inspecting the external lightning protection system is essential to ensure proper functioning. BS EN 62305-3 addresses this point and proposes periodical duration to do so.

Part 1 of BS EN 62305, what is it about?5:57
We will discuss the lightning protection standard BS EN 62305 part 1 where we will learn the sources of damage, S1,S2,S3,S4 as well as types of Damage D1,D2,D3 and the types of loss L1,L2,L3,L4
Sources of Damage, Types of Damage and Loss7:03
In this video we will present a detailed study of the sources of damages as well as the types of damages
Risk Values and why are they important to us8:33
We will introduce the types of risks and we will make it clear how important to control and decrease the risk values

Part 2 of the standard- What is it about6:04
We will discuss the meaning and important of the Risk assessment
Risk Management Calculation- What is it about?5:31
Risk Assessment can be done manually, but it is easier to do that using available software. In this lecture we will present the manual initial calculations to understand the essence of the risk management calculation
Sample Risk Values Summed5:10
In this lecture we will present the calculation of the collection areas for the structure and the services connected to it.

Requirements

You should have the willingness to learn and the time to spend learning the course.
Some terminologies such as voltages and current are used in the course and are assumed that the student knows the terminologies

Description

Hi! Are you interested in knowing more on what gets into the design of lightning protection systems? This system saves thousands of lives each year and hundreds of million dollars.The course will address the lightning protection design on structures by following the British Standard BS EN 62305.

The course is divided into four parts each addressing a single part of the BS EN 62305.

We'll start with part three of the standard BS EN 62305-3 where we will address the following:

External Lightning Protection System
Rolling Sphere Method
Protective Angle Method
Air Termination System
Down Conductors
Earthing Termination System

Then we will discuss the fundamentals of the standard BS EN 62305-1 where we will address the following:

Sources of Damage
Types of Damage
Types of Loss
Types of Risk

Then we will discuss the Internal Lightning Protection Design BS EN 62305-4 where we will address the following:

Lightning Current Characteristics
Surge Protective Devices

Then we will discuss the Risk Management BS EN 62305-2 where we will address the following:

Risk Factors R1, R2, R3, R4
Understanding the concept of Design
The generic formula of the risk calculation
Example of using Risk Assessment Study Calculator

Who this course is for:

Anyone how is interested in learning the fundamentals of lightning protection design
Engineers
Businessmen
Safety Officers
