With Schneider Electric,lightning protection can easily«90% of power outlets supply equipmentincorporating electronic devices.»Schneider Electricis today one ofthe leading globalbrands of powerdistributionequipment.In the quest forever greatersafety andcontinuity ofservice, theranges arechanging to meetall residential,tertiary andindustrialprotectionrequirements.More and more electrical equipmentis today sensitive to overvoltages causedby lightning strikes.In response to these new requirements,Schneider Electric, the leading powerdistribution manufacturer, is devoting itsefforts to lightning protection.To make it easier to select surge arresters for electrical installationsand to implement and maintain them, 550 specialists design andproduce surge arresters in compliance with international standards.Schneider Electric’s surge arresters are highly suitable for electricalcontractors and meet their users’ most stringent requirements.From Grenoble to Salt Lake City, from Brussels to Shanghai,quality requirements are being pushed to the limit.Each site has obtained ISO 9001 and/or ISO 14001 certification.

Schneider Electric,helping professionals to chooTo meet allprotectionrequirementsmoreeffectively:1Estimatethe value of theequipment to be protected• residential buildings• domestic equipment:• audio-video equipment,computers,• electrical appliances,• burglar alarm.• tertiary buildingsThe value is estimatedby considering:• the financial costof the equipment• the economic impactof equipment downtime• building equipment:• fire alarm, access control,• automated heating orair-conditioning,• lift.• business equipment:• programmable machine,• server,• sound or light control system.• heavy equipment:• medical infrastructure,• production infrastructure,• heavy computer processing.• industrial buildings2Determinethe type of building• detached house,• flat, small semi-detached house,• common areas of a building,• professional premises.Lightning protection canbe calculated for an entirebuilding or for part of abuilding that is electricallyindependent.

se the best lightning protectionAs proof ofthe completeeffectivenessof lightningprotectionin meetingeach need,3Identifythe type of powerdistributionIntegration into the electrical powerdistribution:• single switchboard or main switchboard,• subdistribution board,• sensitive equipment more than 30 mfrom the switchboard.Schneider Electricoffers a simpleand effectiveselection method.Depending on the sizeof the building and theextent of its electricalsystem, one or more surgearresters must be used inthe various switchboardsin the installation.4Understandthe risk of the impactof lightning on the siteLocation of the building:• in an urban, suburban, groupedhousing area.Lightning is attracted byhigh points that conductelectricity. They can be:• natural: tall trees, mountainpeaks, damp areas, ferroussoils.• artificial: chimney stacks,aerials, pylons, lightningrods.Indirect effects can be incurredwithin a fifty metre radius aroundthe point of impact.• in plain area.• in an area where there is aspecial risk (pylon, tree,mountainous region, mountainpeak, damp area or pond).• in an exceptionally exposed area(lightning rod within 50 metresof a building).
