In today’s blog, we will cover 20 standards that help you understand
Earthing and
Lightning Protection better.
Everyone talks about electrical failures after they happen. But no one asks,
“Was your system installed as per the standard?”
These standards tell us where to crimp, how to install, what size to choose, and how to test.
In this blog, we will understand what each one is meant for and when to use it.
IEC stands for International Electrotechnical Commission. This is the foundation for designing
Lightning Protection Systems.
It covers risk assessment, external protection, internal surge protection, and safety.
The original international standard providing a four-part framework for lightning protection design.
The National Building Code of India defines safety rules and when lightning protection is required.
Covers safe electrical installations, grounding methods, and
surge protection.
Main Indian standard for earthing,
covering design, installation, and testing.
Used in oil & gas industries for lightning protection and earthing in hazardous zones.
Covers wiring, grounding, and layout for buildings.
Focuses on lightning protection for solar PV systems.
Explains safety procedures during lightning events.
Defines testing requirements for lightning protection components like
air terminals,
conductors, and
earth rods.
Defines testing standards for
Surge Protective Devices.
Covers lightning protection for storage tanks with flammable liquids.
US standard for lightning protection system design and installation.
Used for substation grounding and safety calculations.
Defines testing of grounding connections like
exothermic welding.
Guides design of air termination systems for substations.
Covers certification and installation of lightning protection systems.
Defines testing for grounding components like rods and clamps.
French standard for ESE lightning arresters.
Spanish standard for ESE lightning protection systems.
At Axis, we have 50+ engineers who design and implement
Earthing and
Lightning Protection Systems
as per these standards.
