A calculation based on current standards
With the LPS Manager application, you quickly obtain a recommendation on the level of protection to apply for a building, a structure and more generally for a site. The calculation of the protection level in LPS Manager is based on the standards in force within the framework of document FD C 17-108:2017 (or simplified IEC 62305 standard).
Source AFNOR (FD C 17-108 – January 18, 2017):
''The FD C 17-108 document is based on the IEC 62305-2 standard, from December 2012.
The method is said to be simplified in the sense that it only includes a limited number of parameters compared to the so-called complete method of standard IEC 62305-2, of December 2012.
In fact, it only applies to structures:
– for which the fire risk is low or ordinary;
– for which the risk of fire is high but the risk of panic is low;
– which do not contain any explosive product or atmosphere;
– which pose no danger to the environment.''
Lightning protection level (Lpl)
A number related to a set of lightning current parameter values as to the probability that the associated maximum and minimum design values will not be exceeded when lightning occurs naturally. NOTE: The Lpl is used to design protection measures according to the appropriate set of lightning current parameters. The protection level can take values I to IV. (IEC 62305 definition) Level I is the highest security level.

The use of LPS Manager is suitable for a large number of cases of lightning protection systems, however in the context of a calculation for a complex structure or one not meeting the criteria of FD C 17-108:2017, we advise you to contact your design office.
100% of folders in LPS Manager
If the calculation of the protection level cannot be done with LPS Manager , you can enter it directly in the application after having done the calculation yourself according to the complete method of the IEC 62305 standard. If you cannot do it yourself We also advise you to call on a specialized design office. Collecting information and sharing it in LPS Manager will be essential for the proper processing of your folder.
