5.8.3 Lightning current
For high temporary current due to lightning.
Test
standard
EN 50164-1:1999 “Lightning protection components Part 1: Requirements for connection components” and
EN 50164-1 / prA1:2005
Test criteria
Electrical test with stress of 3 times 50 or 100 kA (signal form 10/350 μs)
lightning current as follows:
• class H Imax = 100 kA ± 10 % W/R = 2,5 MJ/Ω ± 20 % td ≤ 2 ms.
• class N Imax = 50 kA ± 10 % W/R = 0,63 MJ/Ω ± 20 % td ≤ 2 ms.

Note: Higher currents for an exposure time of 2 ms will result in failed
lightning connection.
In this connection configuration, the X-BT-ER is used as a fastener and not as an electrical conductor. The cable lug must be in direct
contact with non-coated base material. Please refer to requirements in 2.6.3.
