IEC 62561-3:2017(E) specifies the requirements and tests for isolating spark gaps (ISG) for lightning protection systems.ISGs can be used to indirectly bond a lightning protection system to other nearby metalwork where a direct bond is not permissible for functional reasons.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition.- a new classification has been added related to ISGs location installation;- an updated flow chart of tests has been developed.
