SYNOPSIS
Malaysia, being a high lightning density zone, is seeing many lightning strikes throughout the year. A good design of a lightning protection system is necessary especially with guidance from MS IEC 62305 to protect from physical damage and from life hazards. The surge wave arising from the lightning and power switching has caused much concern as industry equipment are having more electronics, which are susceptible to transient surge waves. With the sharing of the Code of Practice MS IEC 62305, ABB Furse shares a simple selection guide fulfilling the standards and the design needs.
Objective:
At the end of the course, participants shall have fundamental theories and basic design proficiency referring to MS IEC 62305, to check on risk levels using the risk assessment tool, and to ensure the selection material correctly as per required standards.
