INPUT
RA = Component related to injury to living beings caused by touch and step voltages in the zones up to 3 m outside the structure PA = Probability of injury to living beings due to flash on structure (Table B.1-IEC 62305-2)
due to flashes directly to the structure = Nd*Pa*ra*Lt
RB = Component related to physical damage caused by dangerous sparking inside the structure due to flashes directly to the PB = Probability of injury of physical damage due to flash on structure (Table B.2-IEC62305-2)
structure = Nd*Pb*rp*hz*rf*Lf
RC = Component related to failure of internal systems caused by LEMP due to flashes directly to the structure = Nd*Pc*Lo PC = Probability of failure of internal service due to flash on structure (Table B.3-IEC 62305-2)

Ng = Lightning ground flash density per sq. km per year = 0.1*Td. Td = 60 , Number of thunderstorm days per year (World map of Lt = Loss (Loss of Human Life (L1)) due to injury by touch & step voltages (Table C.1-IEC 62305-
isokeraunic level) [To be revised based on project location] 2)
Ad = Collection area of the structure in sq.m = LxW + 6xHx(W+L) + 9x3.1416xH^2 [For rectangular structure] Lf = Loss (Loss of Human Life (L1), Loss of Service to the Public (L2)) due to physical damage
For Stack and Silos the Collection area sq.mm = 3.1416x(Dia./2+3H)^2 (Table C.1& C.6-IEC 62305-2)
[Refer clause-A.2.1 of IEC-62305-2 for collection area of complex structures]
Cd = Location factor of the structure (as per table A2 of IEC: 62305-2) Lo = Loss (Loss of Human Life (L1), Loss of Service to the Public (L2)) due to failure of internal
system (Table C.1& C.6-IEC 62305-2)
Nd = Number of dangerous events for a structure = Ng*Ad*Cd*10^-06 ra/ ru = Factor reducing loss of human life (L1) depends on type of soil/ floor (Table C.2 -IEC 62305-
2)
R1 = Risk of loss of human life (L1) = Ra + Rb rp = Factor reducing loss of physical damage depends on provision taken to reduce the
consequences of fire (Table C.3-IEC 62305-2)

R2 = Risk of loss of services to the public (L2) = Rb + Rc rf = Factor reducing loss of physical damage depends on risk of fire of the structures (Table C.4-
IEC 62305-2)

hz = Factor increasing loss of physical damage in presence of special hazard (Table C.5 -IEC
62305-2)

Notes:
1 Above calculation is based on IEC-62305-2006.
2 Loss factor (Lt) is taken as 0.0001 considering the persons are inside the Bldg.
3 For the Structures surrounded by higher objects or trees Location Factor (C d ) is taken as 0.25
4 For Metallic Structures, Probaility factors P b , P c is considered as 0.001 & 0.005 repectively.

[Building name, their dimensions, various factors considered in above calculations are only indicative and shown for understanding purpose. The same has been highlighted in red text above.]
