Assignment: Ee4033: Electrical Installation

This document summarizes an electrical installation assignment to design a lightning protection system for a two-story, L-shaped textile engineering building with a hip roof. The building is about 10 meters high. Using the rolling sphere method with a 20m radius, surfaces directly at risk of lightning strikes are marked in red in layout drawings. The design uses 11 lightning rods that are 1.5 meters long and 7 rods that are 3 meters long, placed at varying distances based on the penetration depth of the rolling sphere.

DATE OF SUB:

2016/ 07/ 05

Textile engineering Department Building was selected to install a Lightning protection


System.
Building is L shaped and Hip roofed.
It is a two story building with about 10 m height with roof.
Four main views as Front View, Side View 1, Side View 2, and Rear View are used to present
the Lightning risk areas according to the Rolling Sphere Method.
Level I protection is assumed as the Rolling Sphere Radius is taken as 20m
Surfaces with Direct Lightning risk are marked in Red in following Layout Drawings.
Less vulnerable areas are shaded in grey.

Air Termination Rods with lengths 3m


and 1.5 m are used in the design.
Design is done considering the
penetration depth of sphere for a
distance between air-termination
conductors.
