By working through series of formulae the processBy working through series of formulae the process allows the user to decide on what protection is required to reduce the actual Risk (R) below it’s corresponding tolerable level (RT)
The ultimate protection may be the installation of anThe ultimate protection may be the installation of an LPS system, transient (LEMP) protection or even an automatic fire fighting systemg g y

Generic equation for evaluating each risk component is:component is:
RX = NX . PX . LX
where
N = annual number of dangerous eventsNX = annual number of dangerous events
PX = probability of damage
LX = consequential loss (social values)
32For example RB component related to physical damage caused by dangerous sparking inside structure triggering fire or explosion
RB = ND . PB . LB
RB = (NgAd/bCd/b . 10-6) (PB) (hz.rp.rf.Lf)Where, Ad/b (collection area) = LW + 6H (L+W) + 9π(H)2
Cd/b is the Location factor, derived from the table/
PB is the probability of damage to the structure, derived from the table, depending upon the level of protection
hz is the factor increasing the loss due to physical damage, when a special hazard is present, derived from the table
rp is the factor reducing the loss due to physical damage depending on the provision taken to reduce the consequences of fire, derived from the table
rf is the factor reducing the loss due to physical damage depending on the risk of fire, derived from the table
LLf is loss due to physical damage

Equivalent risk component to RB applicable to services is RV, (most important for the ME area) component related to physical damage (fire or explosion) triggered by dangerous sparking generally at entrance point of line into structuresparking generally at entrance point of line into structure due to lightning current transmitted along incoming service
R = N P LRV = NV . PV . LV
and RV = (NL + NDa)(PV)(hz.rp.rf.Lf)

Down Conductors
Where it is not possible to install d.c’s down a particular side due to practical/architectural
b l d ’restraints – compensate by placing more d.c’s at closer spacings on other accessible sides
d.c centres should not be less than one third of its relevant distance
