A.2.3. Risk Assessment Conclusion

Values of the risk components for the unprotected structure are reported in the regulation.

The public service loss (L2) and the economic loss (L4) are relevant for this type of structure. It is

required to evaluate the need for protection. This implies the determination of the risk ��

for L4 with the risk components ��

below the tolerable risk.

According to the IEC 62305-2, calculation of the risk parameters is shown as follows:

We'll propose solution for this later, protecting the radar by additional lightning rod and adapt LPL
