EUROPE
Heliospectra requires that all xtures should be protected by adequate surge protection, in ac-
cordance with the following standard: IEC 62305 – Protection Against Lightning.
This standard stipulates the following:
• SPDs (Surge Protection Devices) should be installed when crossing from one
lightning protection zone to another
• Lighting is not the only threat; switching of loads, which are more frequent than lightning
strikes, also create high voltage transients that can damage electrical or electronic equipment
over time.
• Risk assessments are required to be carried out to assess the requirements of any building
for SPDs.
• Ensure that the 3 Lightning Protection Zones (LPZ) zones and types 1, 2, 3 of Surge Protec-
tion Devices are used correctly.
For other installation locations, please advise local electrical standards that are equivalent
