Lightning is the number one cause of power surges, leading to severe safety hazards for people as well as structural damage and fires. Lightning Risk Assessment (LRA) is the evaluation of the risk of a lightning strike on or near structures. Perform ETAP Lightning Risk Assessment to recommend lightning protection systems for the protection of life and property while considering the continuity of operation and system reliability.

Lightning Risk Assessment

In this video, we demonstrate how to use ETAP’s Lightning Risk Assessment (LRA) module to assess the risk of a lightning strike and the probability of damage. Learn about the LRA calculation methods used in ETAP and how to perform the LRA to comply with internationals standards NFPA 780-2020, 2014 and IEC 62305-2: 2010. Explore the important reasons behind Lightning Risk Assessment. From lightning as the number one cause of power surges, to preventing damage, fires and other harm to lives and property, accounting for unpredictable weather patterns and asset protection, as in buildings, power infrastructure, and human lives, ETAP's Lightning Risk Assessment module will calculate the possible risk to humans and infrastructure.
