Introduction

Lightning Protection System (LPS) is a system designed to protect building structures and equipment from lightning strikes. Singapore has an average of about 176 lightning days yearly, one of the highest worldwide. Hence, it is vital that, practitioners, consultants, and Engineers have the necessary knowledge to mitigate the impact. Management, Supervisors, and contractors also have the knowledge about the LPS to implement the system effectively. Most importantly the workers and supervisors handle the LPS jobs at site must have a necessary knowledge, so that they can carry out the work based on the design. This course aims to provide, strengthen, and deepen the understanding of the LPS works, its applications, maintenance, and testing.

Objective:

This one-day course covers the necessary components of the “four parts of SS555-2018 – Singapore Standard – Protection against Lightning”, related to LPS works, implementation, maintenance, and testing. There will be a break between sessions, practice on a simple LPS design practice, testing procedures etc. Continuous assessment in the form of random quizzes, and activities to re-call and re-instate what has been taught in class will be carried out to enhance the learning process. We expected learners to be able to design a simple Lightning Protection System, understand the maintenance and testing etc, at end of the course.

Who Should Attend

This course is suitable for all those with some basic knowledge, who are electricians, electrical technicians, supervisors, Engineers etc., and those dealing with Lightning protection installation, testing, and maintenance work, etc.

The course is also good for the company management, contractors, Young professionals, Owners of the LPS installations, etc. to attend and understand the regulatory requirements, maintenance & testing procedures.

What Participants Will Learn

This course is crafted to apply the necessary knowledge about LPS installation, various methods of implementation, maintenance and testing under the relevant standards to enhance the installations’ capability and operation confidence level. Most importantly, at the end of this course, participants gain confidence and acquire the necessary knowledge in practical applications, and also be able to design a simple Lightning Protection System, understand the maintenance and testing etc.
