1.06 Over all Assesment of Risk & Weighing Factor (Refer Table-1A to 1E from IS : 2309:1989 )
A

Weighting Factor "A" ( Use of Structures)

Office blocks,hotels,block of flat and other residential buildings
other than those included below.

0.4

1.3

0.4

Weighting Factor "D" ( Degree of Isolation)

Structure located in large area of structures or trees of the
same or greater height, for example in a large town or forest

Weighting Factor "C" ( Contents or Consequentials Effects)

Industrial key plants,ancient monuments and historic
buildings,museums, art galleries or other buildings with
specially valuable contents.

1.2

Weighting Factor "B" ( Type Of Construction)

Reinforced concrete with any roof other than metal

Weighting Factor "E" ( Type of Cuntry)

1.09 If Overall risk factor exceeds 0.00001 then Lightning protection is required

Conclusion :-

Overall risk factor is excessed than 0.00001 hence Lightning Protection is Required

2.00 SELECTION OF DOWN CONDUCTOR :

Number of Down conductors should be atleast the smaller of the following.
The Above structure/Building height is

12

Mtrs. Below 20 Meter then

Use the following formula for Down Conductor Calculation

2.01 Number of Down Conductor for Building/Structure

2.02 Number of Down conductor = Number of Earth Pits
