    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes the requirements and tests for devices intended to count the number of lightning strike pulses flowing in a conductor.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Part 6 of EN 62561 specifies the requirements and tests for devices intended to count the number of lightning strike pulses flowing in a conductor. This conductor may be part of a lightning protection system (LPS) or connected to an SPD installation (or other conductors which are not intended to conduct a significant portion of lightning currents).

    NOTE Lightning strike counters may also be suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres. Regard should then be taken of the extra requirements necessary for the components to be installed in such conditions.
