# Surge Arrester & Lightning Arrester

### Obtain the lightning protection level to apply

Building, Pylon, Factory, Tank, Bridge… all structures at a site to be protected will be described using inclusive forms (photos + written). LPS Manager proposes using drawings and symbols to detail each critical part (Electrical grounding, incoming service, equipotentiality…).

With the LPS Manager application, you quickly obtain a recommendation on the protection level to apply for a building, a structure and more broadly for a site. The calculation of the protection level in LPS Manager is based on standards in force under document FD C 17-108:2017 (or simplified IEC 62305 standard).

### Study of lightning protection: Choice of equipment type

You will graphically and logically determine the equipment necessary to ensure lightning protection for a building and an entire site. You will describe the entire lightning rod system as well as surge arrester and will be able to share it with your clients or suppliers.

### Audit/Verification of a lightning installation: Description of lightning installations

LPS Manager proposes a process for description by photo and in writing of any type of lightning protection installation.

In the form of questionnaires, the description is carried out from top (lightning rod) to bottom (grounding). The description of surge arresters is also possible for verification of their condition.

The description of conductors, groundings and equipotentialities is unlimited in number.

### For all types of lightning rod and surge arrester installations

All types of lightning rod or surge arrester installations can be described and monitored in LPS Manager whatever the lightning protection standard used (Simple pointed lightning rod, Faraday cage, Mesh cage, Tensioned cables, Lightning rod with Triggering Device, Surge arresters, Groundings…)
