1 Scope

This part of IEC 62561 specifies the requirements and tests for devices intended to count the number of lightning strikes based on the current flowing in a conductor. This conductor can 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.

Extra requirements for the components can be necessary for LSCs intended for use in hazardous atmospheres.

NOTE In CENELEC member countries, testing requirements of components for explosive atmospheres are specified inCLC/TS 50703‑2.
