The Lightning Protection Level 

Refer to 

Table 5

, the “Lightning Protection Level” and using the Efficiency (E) determine the Lightning 

Protection Level (LPL) and corresponding peak lightning current discharge capability.  

Lightning Protection Level 1 provides highest level of protection and Lightning Protection Level 4, the 
lowest level of protection.
