BS EN IEC 62561-6:2018

This standard BS EN IEC 62561-6:2018 Lightning protection system components (LPSC) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.120.40 Lightning protection
• 29.020 Electrical engineering in general

This part of IEC 62561 specifies the requirements and tests for devices intended to count the number of lightning strikes based on the current 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.

LSCs may also be suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres and there are therefore extra requirements necessary for the components to be installed in such conditions.
