Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to present the new test requirements for Lightning Protection System Components - LPSC as described in the new IEC 62561 series. In particular it summarizes the test procedure and pass requirements for connection components used in a Lightning Protection System - LPS such as lightning conductor clamps, bonding & earthing clamps, bridging components, pipe clamps, equipotential bonding bars as described in the forthcoming IEC 62561-1 standard. The reader may understand the entire test method including the sample preparation procedure, the ageing - environmental tests, the electrical & mechanical tests as well as the final pass criteria.
