SYNOPSIS
Join us for a comprehensive one-day seminar on Earthing & Lightning Protection, designed to enhance your understanding of lightning protection standards and practical implementation. Based on the MS IEC 62305 series, this seminar will cover the theory, design principles, and risk assessment methods essential for effective lightning protection systems.
The agenda includes:
- An in-depth look at lightning phenomena and protection concepts
- Risk assessment procedures and software demonstration
- Technical guidance on designing external lightning protection systems
- Insights into managing transient over voltages with surge protective devices.
Participants will also benefit from interactive Q&A sessions, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities with industry peers. Whether you're an engineer, consultant, or facility manager, this seminar is tailored to equip you with practical knowledge and tools to enhance safety and compliance in your projects.
