A.3.3 Rules for the transition point between lightning protection zones 0 <-> 1
Rules for transition point 0 <-> 1 (lightning protection equipotential bonding)
The following measures are suitable for lightning protection equipotential bonding at the
transition between lightning protection zones 0 <-> 1:
• Use grounded, spiraled, current-conducting metal straps or metal braiding as a cable
shield at both ends, for example, NYCY or A2Y(K)Y.
• Install cables in one of the following media:
– in continuous metal pipes that are grounded at both ends, or
– in continuously armored concrete ducts or
– on closed metal cable trays grounded at both ends.
– use fiber-optic cables instead of metal conductors.
Additional Measures
If you cannot take measures as described above, you must install a high-voltage protection
for your system between the 0 <-> 1 transition points with a lightning conductor. The table
below contains the components you can use for high-voltage protection of your plant.
