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
risk
for L4 with the risk components
tolerable risk
the tolerable risk.
According to the IEC 62305-2, calculation of the risk parameters is shown as follows:
Table A-4: Risk components for different types of damage and source of damage (IEC 62305-2)

D3
Calculation of the risk components requirement is as shown in the Table A-5.

calculated. The result is shown in the Table A-6. Therefore considering current condition, the
weather radar is not protected by existing lightning rods. Total risk value is exceeded of the
tolerable risk value.
We'll propose solution for this later, protecting the radar by additional lightning rod and adapt LPL
Class IV. Assessment for this solution is also shown in the Table A-6. According to the result is
almost half of the tolerable risk value, so the condition of the radar turned into safe.
