MIL-HDBK-1004/6
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
Organization:
NAVY - YD - Naval Facilities Engineering Command
Year: 1988
Abstract: This handbook presents data and considerations that are necessary for the proper design of lightning protection systems.
This handbook cancels and supersedes NAVFAC DM-4.6, Electrical Engineering, Lightning and Cathodic Protection of December 1979. Cathodic protection in DM-4.6 is to be covered in the proposed military handbook, MIL-HDBK-1004/10.
The policy of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command is to provide the most effective degree of lightning protection.
As a minimum, for all ordinary, non-ordnance facilities requiring lightning protection, the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) NFPA 78, Lightning Protection Code, should be followed. The requirements of this handbook must be followed for ordnance facilities and those facilities within the scope of NFPA 78. Ordnance facilities, such as magazines and other structures, truck and railroad marshalling yards, railroad sidings, and wharves and piers where ordnance and explosives are handled and stored, shall be provided with special protective measures. Design for these systems shall be in accord with criteria in this handbook; DOD-STD-6055.9, Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards; MIL-HDBK-419, Grounding, Bonding and Shielding; and NAVSEA OP-5, Vol. 1, Ammunition and Explosives Ashore.
Although the federal Government is not required to conform to local (city or district) building and electrical codes for installations within Government ownership lines, consideration should be given to local standards and regulations wherever practicable.
The NFPA and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) have established basic minimum standards of design and installation practice including: NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC); NFPA 70B, Electrical Equipment Maintenance; NFPA 78; and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ANSI C2, National Electrical Safety Code. These standards shall be complied with in all projects. Approval of the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. should be considered for all electrical materials, fittings, and appliances where possible. Refer to Underwriters' Laboratory (UL) UL 96, Lightning Protection Components, UL 96A, Installation Requirements for Lightning Protection Systems, and UL 467, Grounding and Bonding Equipment.
