Company Announcement - For three decades, the lightning protection guide from DEHN has been the trademark for practice-oriented technical literature in the fields of lightning and surge protection for buildings, installations and systems. Over time, the book has been revised and enlarged, due to changes in standardisation and technical advances. Now the third revised edition of the English language lightning protection guide is available.
The lightning protection guide provides expert knowledge for the practical understanding of lightning and surge protection, and spans almost 500 pages. The topics covered by the book range from the characteristic lightning parameters up to the practical application of lightning protection components and surge protective devices. It documents the state-of-the art technology and recommendations based on the IEC and EN 62305 standards. Wherever no international or European standards exist, reference is made to pertinent German standards.
The book includes materials, components, devices and systems, standards, regulations, design fundamentals and 34 practical solutions for specific applications. Informative illustrations additionally explain the function of lightning and surge protection systems and show possible application scenarios.
The lightning protection guide gives both non-specialists and experienced experts an overview of normative, technical and practice-relevant aspects of lightning and surge protection and offers support in the selection and sustainable design of buildings, installations and systems.
