New standard lightning and angle of protection:
Lightning rod height and protection efficiencies were revised when IEC standards were renewed
in 2003, replacing the older 1990 standard. The angle of protection decreases as the height of
protected structure gets higher. Any protection level of structure over 60 meters will not be
enacted in the protection angle because a lightning rod is ineffective for buildings over 60 meters
when a side-on lighting strike hits side of a building.

A.6. Conclusion
For some installations it is difficult to add a tall lightning rod because of area height regulations and
restrictions. It may be necessary to carefully consider all potential lightning protection solutions.
