1 Scope
This Part 6 of EN 62561 specifies the requirements and tests for devices intended to count the number of
lightning strike pulses flowing in a conductor. This conductor may be part of a lightning
protection system (LPS) or connected to an SPD installation (or other conductors which
are not intended to conduct a significant portion of lightning currents).
NOTE
Lightning strike counters may also be suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres. Regard should then be taken
of the extra requirements necessary for the components to be installed in such conditions.
