In this tutorial, I'll demonstrate how to plan a lightning protection system with the

mesh method and DIN ISO products.

In general, it is to say that the lightning protection planning with DIN ISO is regarded

as a meshed air termination network according to the lightning protection norm.

Thus, the planning follows the same method.

The DIN ISO portfolio with an insulated clearance through glass fiber reinforced plastic helps

to better comply with separation distances.

To start with our planning, we choose the I can add a DIN ISO mesh for lightning protection

to a surface and then orient the mesh on our rooftop.

The program automatically places the pre-selected materials.

Changing from work to realistic view gives a good look on the used material.

Let's switch back to work view and place a mesh on the additional roof structure as

well.

Then I connect the two meshes with the help of this icon here.

Again, the program follows the same logic as the mesh method and we can choose between

the furthest and the closest connection.

I quickly add a few more down conductors for calculating the separation distance.

The separation distance can be calculated if we select this icon here.

You can find some more detailed information about the separation distance function in

a separate tutorial.

We can display the values by selecting this icon.

However, we need to adapt the values in our current version from air to isolated material

due to the fact that the program not yet adapts the values automatically.

Therefore, we select the value and change the value to isolated material in our properties

window on the left.

To make our life easier, we set a filter and the program only selects the values for the

separation distance.

This way we can choose all values in one selection.

We change the side view and can now select all values except the ones on the bottom.

We change the separation distance values to in isolated material and the program does

it for all prior selected values.

That's it for today.

Thanks for watching.
