Description
Summary:The separation distance is defined as distance providing the electrical insulation between the lightning protection system and metallic installation components of a building. This paper presents experimental verification of material coefficient which defines separation distance for external lightning protection system. Separation distances for different materials are currently defined by standard IEC 62305-3: 2010. Although separation distances defined by this standard are in a strong contradiction with former standard used in Slovak and Czech republic ČSN 34 13 90. This massive difference between two mentioned standards initialized a debate about correct value of the separation distance. The aim of this paper is to clarify the material coefficients experimentally and elucidate the source of disagreement between both standards. In this paper, the original experiment which defined the ČSN 34 13 90 was reproduced. In addition, the experiments will go even beyond the scope of the original experiment by adding more insulation materials to the brick and ytong material walls.
