The comparison includes peak values of the magnetic field Hmax, its derivative (dH/dt)max and of induced voltages umax in typical cable routings. The experiments are performed at a 1:6 scaled building and the results are extrapolated using the similarity relations theory. The calculations are based on the approximate formulae given in IEC 62305-4 and have to be supplemented by a rough estimation of the additional shielding effect of a second reinforcement layer. The comparison shows, that the measured peak values of the magnetic field and its derivative are mostly lower than the calculated. The induced voltages are in good agreement. Hence, calculations of the induced voltages based on IEC 62305-4 are a good method for lightning protection studies of buildings, where the reinforcement is used as a grid-like electromagnetic shield.}, subject = {Blitz}, 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{KernLandersScheibeetal.2006, author = {Kern, Alexander and Landers, E.-U. and Scheibe, K. and Zahlmann, P.}, title = {Die k{\"u}nftige deutsche Blitzschutznormung (1) : Reihe DIN EN 62305 / VDE 0185-305-x:2006}, series = {De : der Elektro- und Geb{\"a}udetechniker / Ausgabe ZV. 81 (2006), H. 15-16}, journal = {De : der Elektro- und Geb{\"a}udetechniker / Ausgabe ZV. 81 (2006), H. 15-16}, isbn = {1617-1160}, pages = {26 -- 30}, year = {2006}, language = {de} } @article{Kern2006, author = {Kern, Alexander}, title = {Die neuen Blitzschutznormen der Reihe DIN EN 62305 (VDE 0185-305-x)}, series = {ETZ : Elektrotechnik + Automation. 2006 (2006), H. 2}, journal = {ETZ : Elektrotechnik + Automation. 2006 (2006), H. 2}, isbn = {0170-1711}, pages = {42 -- 45}, year = {2006}, language = {de} } @article{KernLanders2006, author = {Kern, Alexander and Landers, E.-U.}, title = {Die k{\"u}nftige deutsche Blitzschutznormung (2/3) - Reihe DIN EN 62305:2006 - Teil 2: Risikomanagement}, series = {De : der Elektro- und Geb{\"a}udetechniker / Ausgabe ZV. 81 (2006), H. 18 - 19}, journal = {De : der Elektro- und Geb{\"a}udetechniker / Ausgabe ZV. 81 (2006), H. 18 - 19}, isbn = {1617-1160}, year = {2006}, language = {de} } @article{Kern2007, author = {Kern, Alexander}, title = {Neue deutsche Blitzschutz-Normung.

These damages (total number approx. 74000 cases), registered by five German insurance companies in 2005 and 2006, were adviced by customers as caused by lightning overvoltages. With the use of stochastical methods it is possible, to reasses the collected data and to distinguish between cases, which are with high probability caused by lightning overvoltages, and those, which are not. If there was an indication for a direct strike, this case was excluded, so the focus was only on indirect lightning flashes, i.e. only flashes to ground near the structure and flashes to or nearby an incoming service line were investigated. The data from the field contain the location of damaged apparatus (residence of the policy holder) and the distances of the nearest cloud-to-ground stroke to the location of the damage registered by the German lightning location network BLIDS at the date of damage. The statistical data along with some complementary numerical simulations allow to verify the correspondence of the Standards rules used for IEC 62305-2 with the field data and to define some correction needs. The results could lead to a better understanding whether a damage reported to an insurance company is really caused by indirect lightning, or not.}, subject = {Blitzschutz}, 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.

IEC 62305-3 gives two different methods for this calculation: a standard, simplified approach and a more detailed approach, which differ especially regarding the treatment of the current sharing effect on the LPS conductors. Hence, different results for the separation distance are possible, leading to some discrepancies in the use of the standard. The standard approach defined in the main part (Clause 6.3) and in Annex C of the standard in some cases may lead to a severe oversizing of the required separation distance. The detailed approach described in Annex E naturally gives more correct results. However, a calculation of the current sharing amongst all parts of the air-termination and downconductor network is necessary, in many cases requiring the use of network analysis programs. In this paper simplified methods for the assessment of the current sharing are presented, which are easy to use as well as sufficiently adequate.}, subject = {Blitzschutz}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{BehrensFrentzelKern2009, author = {Behrens, J{\"o}rg and Frentzel, Ralf and Kern, Alexander}, title = {Simulation der transienten Spannungsverl{\"a}ufe im Eigenbedarfsnetz eines Großkraftwerks bei einem kraftwerksnahen Blitzeinschlag in die Hochspannungs-Freileitung}, isbn = {978-3-8007-3197-8}, year = {2009}, abstract = {8.
