Surge Protection to BS ENIEC 62305

Surge Protection to BS ENIEC 62305

Course Overview

This course provides learners with a good understanding of the technical requirements for surge protection for mains power, instrumentation, control, voice and data circuit installations. The course outlines the lightning protection and earthing principles on surge protection and discusses the surge protection requirements based on BS EN 62305 and BS 7671.

Modules also consider the need for risk assessment for lightning and surge protection, sources of disturbance and damages caused by different risks and the importance of good earthing and main equipotential bonding. The course explores several examples of good and poor surge protection and the correct selection, installation, commissioning and monitoring of SPDs under different system earthing types.

Who Should Learn

Consultants and designers, project managers and panel builders.

Please note, before embarking on this course, it is expected that learners will be familiar with Ohm’s Law and the concepts of resistance, inductance and capacitance. We recommend that learners have sight of the BS EN/IEC 62305 standard while working through the course. If you don’t have a copy, you can purchase one here https://shop.bsigroup.com
