IEC 62561 – Lightning Protection System Components (LPSC)

The IEC 62561 series describes the requirements and tests for the various lightning protection system components (LPSC). It summarises the test requirements for the components of a lightning protection system (LPS) that is designed and implemented as per IEC 62305. The various components of the LPS include:

• Connection components such as lightning conductor clamps, bonding & earthing clamps, bridging components, pipe clamps, equipotential bonding bars
• Conductors and Earth Electrodes (link to the Earth Electrodes blog)
• Isolating Spark Gaps
• Conductor Fasteners
• Earth Pits
• Lightning Strike Counters
• Earth Enhancing Compounds

You should only procure products certified according to international or national standards for your lightning protection requirements to ensure that the products perform according to the requirements of the design of the lightning protection system.
