The manufacturer’s instruction manual will be followed to assure proper use of the instrument. If the meter reading exceeds one ohm, the lightning protection subsystem is not acceptable. CLIN 0002

5.1.2.1 Bonding: According to DA PAM 385-64; 17-22 Bonding shall have:

(A) Protection from side flash shall be obtained by either separation distance or by bonding. The required separation distance shall be determined by using the formula in NFPA 780, ’ Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems’ as indicated below. Bonding is used to reduce the possibility of a side flash and is used to ensure no electrical potential differences are produced by lightning current. Chapter 4 and Annex K of NFPA 780 shall be used to determine the minimum bonding requirements except as modified herein.

(B) For buildings which are 36 feet in height, or less:

(1) Bonding will be required for large masses of metal (400 inches square or larger surface area) located on the exterior, or within facilities,

(2) Bonding is also required if the object is within 6 feet of an opening or within six feet of any part of the LPS. Examples include facility metal items such as radiators, tanks, permanent machinery, stair rails, ventilator, metal doors, air conditioning ducts, metal columns and metal siding.

(D) The material used to bond the LPS to the grounding loop conductor will meet the requirements set forth in table 17–5. The resistance of any object bonded to the LPS will not exceed one ohm. Exceptions are noted in table 17–1.

(E) Fences which come within 6 feet of an explosives structure’s LPS will be bonded to the structure’s LPS or its grounding system.

(F) Railroad tracks which run within 6 feet of an explosives structure’s LPS will be bonded to the structure’s LPS or its grounding system. If the tracks are used to carry electrical signals, they will have insulated joints immediately external to bond the LPS’s ground loop conductor. If these tracks enter a facility, they will also be bonded to the frame of the structure or equivalent.

Railroad tracks which run within 6 feet of an explosives structure’s LPS will be bonded to the structure’s LPS or its grounding system. Tests shall be performed IAW DA Pam 385-64 (Appd B) and test results documented on JMCN Form 3751, and this shall be returned to the COR within 5 working days of the test. Annotate results of 3 Point Fall of Potential resistance reading (25 ohms maximum) in notes section. Lightning protection subsystem (bonding check) have a maximum resistance of 1 ohm. LPS tests shall be IAW DA Pam 385-64 (Appd D) with results annotated in JMCN Form 3897-R. CLIN 0003

5.1.4 RESISTANCE OF SYSTEM. The resistance from all air termination systems and down conductors to the lightning protection grounding system shall be less than one ohm. The resistance to earth of the lightning protection grounding system shall be 25 ohms or less. If not, steps need to be taken until these levels of resistance are met. Additional, deeper ground rods or any other approved method may be used to achieve this reading. At locations where achieving 25 ohms or less is not feasible through the installation of additional ground rods or a ground loop conductor, other alternatives are possible, but must be approved by LEMC COR and TPOC.

5.2 Repair: The repairs shall be scheduled for all points that do not successfully pass the testing process according to the list/steps in 5.1, within 48 hours of submission of the deficiency annotated on report form JMCN 3751-R or JMCN 3897-R and, returned to the COR within 5 working days of the repair/test. The static electricity charge dissipation subsystem has to possess a required resistance of less than or equal to 25 kΩ to 1 MΩ (Ω is OHMs). The repairs may include replacement of ground rods (copper, copper-clad, stainless steel, hot-dipped galvanized steel), ground loops (counterpoise) (stranded copper, copper-clad steel cable), and air terminals (solid copper, copper-clad steel, hot-dipped galvanized steel, solid aluminum, tubular aluminum, tubular copper), and catenary (overhead wire) system (copper, copper-clad, aluminum, stainless steel) and main conductor cables (copper, aluminum), and main conductor solid strip (copper, aluminum), and bonding straps (solid or stranded) (copper, aluminum). The repairs could also include but not be limited to cable replacement underground, which would require the cable to be a minimum of 30” underground. Repairs and replacement of components must meet the requirements of NFPA 780 and DA PAM 385-64 (table 17-4 LPS requirements). Grounding system material will be in accordance with NFPA 780, NFPA 70, Article 250, Part J, paragraphs 250–90 through 250–106, and DA PAM 385-64. After the repair is conducted, then a test must be conducted/repeated, in order to confirm the point is within the establish parameters.

All test equipment shall be calibrated according to the industry standards established for this type of test equipment.

The warranty on the repairs shall last at least 12 months from the date of the repair, which means that the repair will still be able to successfully pass the testing criteria in 5.0 up to 12 months from the date of the repair. If not, the repairs will be completed again and the warranty period will begin from that date. CLIN 0004

5.2.1 Bonding: According to DA PAM 385-64; 17-22 Bonding shall have:

Chapter 4 and Annex K of NFPA 780 shall be used to determine the minimum bonding requirements except as modified herein.

(B) For buildings which are 36 feet in height, or less:

(1) Bonding will be required for large masses of metal (400 inches square or larger surface area) located on the exterior, or within facilities,

(E) Fences which come within 6 feet of an explosives structure’s LPS will be bonded to the structure’s LPS or its grounding system.

5.2.2 RESISTANCE OF SYSTEM. The resistance from all air termination systems and down conductors to the lightning protection grounding system shall be less than one ohm. The resistance to earth of the lightning protection grounding system shall be 25 ohms or less. If not, steps need to be taken until these levels of resistance are met. Additional, deeper ground rods or any other approved method may be used to achieve this reading. At locations where achieving 25 ohms or less is not feasible through the installation of additional ground rods or a ground loop conductor, other alternatives are possible, but must be approved by LEMC COR and TPOC.

5.3 Parts/Materials: This shall cover all parts and materials required for the repairs to be conducted in section 5.2. If amount of the parts/materials exceed $500 then verbal or written approval from the LEMC COR or TPOC shall be required before any work is authorized to begin. All parts/materials used for repairs shall be UL rated and approved, and use a LPS standards, and CSA certified. CLIN 0005.
