IEC 62305-2 · Ed. 3:2024 · lightning risk

Lightning risk assessment, without the spreadsheet.

Enter the structure, its service lines and risk zones. Voltbench walks the current 2024 edition of the IEC 62305-2 risk procedure and judges every zone against the tolerable limit — each factor resolved from its table, with the citation next to it.

The wizard and on-screen verdict are free. The full clause-referenced report is a one-off purchase.

Illustrative sample — real figures come from the validated engine. Total-risk bar is log-scaled (10⁻⁶–10⁻³); component bars show relative share.

The current edition, checkable

Built on IEC 62305-2 Ed. 3:2024 — not the withdrawn 2010 edition — and validated against worked references. Every factor shows its table citation and every dropdown its coefficient, so nothing is a black box.

Minutes, not hours

Building archetypes and zone templates prefill typical values, the satellite map suggests the site's lightning density, and a live preview recomputes the risk as you type.

Report you can hand over

The full report carries the working an engineer signs off on — resolved factor tables with citations, the step-by-step calculation trace, and the projected outcome with measures — as a printable document and PDF.
