A good earthing system in accordance with DIN VDE 0185-3 (IEC 62305-3) is the basis of a good lightning protection system. The lightning current safely deflected by the interception and arrester system is routed to the ground. The equipotential bonding performs an additional task between the arresters and as an equipotential bonding controller in passable areas. 224 TBS

Planning an earthing system The earthing system is part of the external lightning protection system, which routes the lightning current into the ground where it is to be distributed. The key criteria for an even lightning current distribution without dangerous surges occurring are form and dimensions. In accordance with DIN VDE 0185 Part 3 (IEC 60305-3) Section 4.4.1, a lower earthing resistance < 10 ⍀ is generally recommended. An earthing system can be constructed from one of the three arrangements described below. It is possible to connect different earthing arrangements, although the risk...

Ring earthers (surface earthers) Outside the building, at least 80% of the ring earther´s overall length must be in contact with the ground. It must be installed as a closed ring at a distance of 1.0 m and a depth of 0.5 m around the external foundation of the building. A ring earther is an earther according to arrangement type B.
