What is BS EN IEC 62561-6 - Requirements for lightning strike counters (LSC) about?
BS EN IEC 62561-6 is the sixth part of the multi-series standard that is applicable to Lightning protection system components (LPSC).
BS EN IEC 62561-6 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.
Note: 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.
