During the last several years considerable effort has been made to revise this standard. Despite the well established principles and design guidelines for the construction of the lightning protection system, this standard puts special emphasis on the coupling of transient overvoltages to I\&C-cables.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZischankHeidlerWiesingeretal.2004, author = {Zischank, Wolfgang J. and Heidler, Fridolin and Wiesinger, J. and Stimper, K. and Kern, Alexander and Seevers, M.}, title = {Magnetic Fields and Induced Voltages inside LPZ 1 Measured at a 1:6 Scale Model Building}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Laborexperimente zu Blitzschutzzonen in Stahlbetongeb{\"a}uden anhand eines Modells im Maßstab 1:6}, language = {en} } @article{ZischankHeidlerWiesingeretal.2004, author = {Zischank, Wolfgang J. and Heidler, Fridolin and Wiesinger, J. and Metwally, I. and Kern, Alexander and Seevers, M.}, title = {Laboratory simulation of direct lightning strokes to a modeled building : measurement of magnetic fields and included voltages}, series = {Journal of electrostatics. 60 (2004), H. 2 - 4}, journal = {Journal of electrostatics. 60 (2004), H. 2 - 4}, isbn = {0304-3886}, pages = {223 -- 232}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZischankHeidlerKernetal.2002, author = {Zischank, Wolfgang J. and Heidler, Fridolin and Kern, Alexander and Metwally, I.

These equations are based on computer simulations for shields consisting of a single-layer steel grid of a given mesh width. Real constructions, however, contain at least two layers of reinforcement steel grids. The objective of this study was to experimentally determine the additional shielding effectiveness of a second reinforcement layer compared to a single-layer grid. To this end, simulated structures were set up in the high current laboratory. The structures consisted of cubic cages of 2 m side length with one or with two reinforcement grids, respectively. The structures were exposed to direct lightning currents representing the variety of anticipated lightning current waveforms. The magnetic fields and their derivatives at several positions inside the structure as well as the voltage between "floor" and "roof" in the center were determined for different current injection points. From these data the improvement of the shielding caused by a second reinforcement layer is derived.}, language = {en} } @article{WettingfeldKernKraemeretal.2009, author = {Wettingfeld, J{\"u}rgen and Kern, Alexander and Kr{\"a}mer, Heinz-Josef and Thorm{\"a}hlen, Reyno}, title = {International anerkannte Blitzschutznormen : Ausgewogener und sicherer Schutz}, publisher = {Fachhochschule Aachen}, address = {Aachen}, year = {2009}, abstract = {Die Einleitung zur Norm DIN EN 62305-3 beschreibt klar und ein - deutig: Der vorliegende Teil der IEC 62305 behandelt den Schutz von baulichen Anlagen gegen materielle Sch{\"a}den und den Schutz von Personen gegen Verletzungen durch Ber{\"u}hrungs- und Schrittspannungen.

In these cases, the loss is not limited to the structure itself, which is valid for usual structures. In the past (Edition 1) this danger was simply taken into account by a special hazard factor, multiplying the existing risk for the structure with a number. Now, in the edition 2, we add to the risk for the structure itself a "second risk" due to the losses outside the structure. The losses outside can be treated independently from what occurs inside. This is a major advantage to analyze the risk for sensitive structures, like chemical plants, nuclear plants, or structures containing explosives, etc. In this paper, the existing procedure given by the European version EN 62305-2 Ed.2 is further developed and applied to a few structures.}, language = {en} }
