Description
The initial verification is carried out after the completion of the installation work of the early streamer emission lightning protection system
.
Its objective is to ensure that the entire installation
complies with current standards, as well as with the execution file.
The points checked are as follows:
– The Early Streamer Emission (ESE) lightning rod is located at least 2 m above any object in the protected area;
– the ESE has the characteristics indicated in the execution file;
– the number of down conductors;
– the conformity of the components of the Early Streamer Emission Lightning Protection System to this document, to the standards of the NF EN 50164 series, NF EN 61643, by marking, declaration or documentation;
– the routing, location and electrical continuity of the down conductors;
– the fixing of the various components;
– the separation distances and/or equipotential bonding;
– the resistance of the earth electrodes;
– the equipotentiality of the ESE earth electrode with that of the building.
In all cases, when a conductor is partially or totally integrated,
its electrical continuity should be checked.
