Welcome message
Welcome message
With great pleasure I welcome all participants and guests at the 27th International Conference
on Lightning Protection (27th ICLP) in the historical city of Avignon, France.
ICLP is one of the most important scientific events that every two years provides the opportunity
to discuss general and specific problems relevant lightning protection in a friendly atmosphere of
useful cooperation.
Lightning is a natural random phenomenon characterized by very severe values of electrical parameters.
The protection against lightning is a subject of peculiar complexity that needs more and more a
deep knowledge of the characteristics of the phenomenon as well as of the interactions and effects
of the lightning current on structures, services and electrical and electronic systems.
Step and touch voltages, mechanical, thermal and chemical effects, failure of electrical and
electronic systems due to lightning current and electromagnetic impulsive field may cause important
loss, which unfortunately may involve human life, services to the public, cultural heritage and
economical values.
In the last two decades a big effort has been done by the scientific community and new concepts
and their practical implementation have been proposed in order to reach more effective protection
systems and to reduce the amount of such loss and, especially in the case of electrical and
electronic systems, to reach an higher degree of reliability for these systems.
Hopefully in the future it is expected a further development of more effective lightning protection
components and devices but the scientific community has the great responsibility to prove any
proposed device in a scientific sense before to accept and allow for effective protection. ICLP is
aware of this responsibility to promote good practice and to warn against the use of devices that
might jeopardize the required degree of protection and to prevent any promotion and advertising
of devices and systems that are, or may be, dangerous.
Since the beginning of the Conference, more than forty years ago, the need of scientific based
methodologies for the lightning protection was very clear to the group of scientists, which first
activated the ICLP. The aim of this group was to organize an interdisciplinary forum for the
exchange of scientific knowledge and information in the fields of lightning protection technology;
after forty years nothing was loosen of the initial spirit, even if the interest of the ICLP was
enlarged to the protection of electronic systems, the protection of power and communication
systems and the Conference became really international with valuable contributions presented by
scientists of more than 30 countries.

> I C L P 2 0 0 4 A v i g n o n ]
The results of the research work of the last decades have been transferred to the international
standard on lightning protection which now are based not only on the traditional experience of dif-
ferent countries but also on a background discussed and validated in a scientific environment.
As in the past editions the selected contributions will be presented and discussed in 10 Sessions
each of them under the responsibility of a Chairman in cooperation with a Moderator, which will
emphasize the main ideas and problems and will encourage discussions among participants.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Scientific Committee Members of the ICLP for
their constant support in the decisions and the valuable help in the revision of the contributions
and in the scientific organization of different Sessions.
The ICLP is hosted in France for the first time even if since the beginning of the Conference, the
contributions given by French scientists to the lightning protection technology were always of very
high scientific level. It is my pleasure to remember Dr. Gary, Dr. Huzler and Dr. Bonamy, all very
active in the recent past on subject of lightning and lightning protection.
I would like to address a special and warm thank to Dr. Alain Rousseau, Chairman and to Prof.
Dr. Ch. Bouquegneau and Prof. Ph. Auriol, Co-Chairmen of the Organizing Committee of the ICLP
2004, to the members of the Organizing Committee and to all persons involved in the Conference
organization, for their effort to ensure a successful meeting.
Finally, it is impossible not to mention the city of Avignon, one of the most attractive cities of
France and the world, at the hearth of Provence, classified by UNESCO international heritage
site, reach of charm, art and history.
We are grateful to the Organizers to have selected the historical city of Avignon as place for the
27th ICLP; I am sure that in this beautiful city all the participants, guests and accompanying
persons, also coming from countries with different cultures and languages, will found motives of
cultural interest.
I wish all of you a successful Conference and a pleasant stay in Avignon.

At the heart of Provence, an exceptional town and monument welcomes you to the ancient city of
Avignon. This major centre for culture and tourism has been classified " International heritage site
" by UNESCO. Avignon is renowned throughout the world for its historic treasures and theatre
festival as well as its art of living la provenale.
At the centre lies the Palais des Papes, the biggest Gothic palace in the world. Avignons International
Congress Centre has 14 rooms which give a uniquely prestigious flavour to all its events.

During the 14th century, the city of Avignon was part of the Pontifical
States, and as such was sheltered from war and destruction. Since the
High Middle Ages, Avignon has been a vital intellectual and commercial
cross-roads in Europe, a choice location for exchanges, meetings and
discussions. Today, its internationally-known cultural influence and
attraction have made it one of the most prestigious conference sites in
the world. The International Congress Centre was created in 1976 within the
outstanding premises of the Palace of the Popes and hosts many events throughout all year long.
The Congress Centre, designed for conventions, seminars, and meetings for 10 to 550 persons,
now occupies two wings of the Popes Palace.

Occupied since prehistory, Avignon was always, a home of culture and a crossroad of civilizations.
During the most important period of its history Avignon was the capital of Christian Europe,
illustrated still by its fine architecture. This exceptional period which led to the downtown area to
be listed by UNESCO could be read as an open book in every street and corner, graphically illus-
trating a travel through history. Avignon occupies a strategic site in the Rhone valley. With the
arrival of the Popes in the 14th Century, the city became a second Rome and it remained Papal
property up to the French revolution The region of Avignon offers a great variety of natural
wonders which give it an original and particularly attractive outward appearance. Within a short
space of time, the tourist can visit most various sites : Pont du Gard, Nmes, Arles, the Camargue,
Lubron and Ventoux, Baux de Provence, St Remy and the Alpilles are all close to the town.

ICLP 2004 GALA DINNER
The ICLP 2004 Gala Dinner will be held in the heart of the Old Palace,
in the Grand Tinel, the perfect place to be enchanted by its unique
atmosphere.
The vast hall of the Grand Tinel takes up an entire floor of the
Consistory Wing. The word " tinel " was used in Italy and in the South
of France for dining rooms or refectories. " Tinellum " comes from the
low Latin " tina ", meaning barrel or cask. It was here that
banquets were held on feast days, for instance when a cardinal was
appointed or a Pope crowned. On days of abstinence or ordinary
days, the Pope was served in the Petit Tinel. This enormous hall is well lit on the East side by six
windows opening out onto the gardens. Its wood-opanelled, balled-vaulted ceiling was reconstructed
in the seventies and gives only a vague idea of what it was like in the 14th century. Indeed, at
Clement VI's request, blue fabric studded with gold stars covered the vault to create a celestial
arch.The decor was destroyed by fire in 1413, as were the frescoes of religious subjects which once
adorned the walls.
The ICLP 2004 Gala Dinner is included in the delegates and accompanying persons registration
fees (it is not included in the student fee or any other package). Extra tickets may be purchased
at the registration desk.

>VISIT OF AVIGNON OLD CITY ]
Stroll the shopping streets in the pedestrian area, Joseph Vernet and St Agricol streets, the district of
la Balance and the large Republic avenue. In addition to the large variety of well stocked luxury shops,
you will find Provencal materials, ceramics and pottery, terra cotta figurines (santons), handicrafts, and
other specialities of the region. On this walk you will encounter the main landmarks of the city, the
Doms Stroll encircles the historic core of Avignon, which has been inscribed on UNESCO's World
Heritage list by the Convention of Berlin, 1995. One of the chief architects of France's Monuments
Historiques has calles it the "Acropolis of Avignon". It is one of the most beautiful sites in the world.
This promenade covers the pedestrian zone of the old city center. It culminate near the Sorgue River,
on the plain tree-lined, picturesque rue des Teinturiers ("Dyers Street"), whose charming paddle wheels
once contributed to the city's prosperity. There are also among the most lively streets in the city to
the extent that this might also be called the Promenade des Boutiques, since window-shopping may
inevitably be an important part of the stroll.

This is an association dedicated mainly to French speaking
countries even if a few members from other countries are
regular members. Official language in APF is French and most
of published literature is in French. APF publishes small books
with general content for the public and technical informati-
on for contractors. APF also publishes short folios dedicated
to a specific topic which can be down-loaded from the Web
site (www.apfoudre.com) for free regarding public applications
and only for members for those which have a technical content.
APF provides also other features such as seminars for
contractors, press conference to keep inform Medias on lightning
danger and protection and a yearly forum where every member
can present a subject and anybody can attend.
One of the big tasks of APF is to answer to questions which
are arriving to the secretariat by mail or more generally by
Emails. In summer periods number of questions received every
Aim of Association Protection Foudre (APF) - Lightning Protection Association is
1) to provide public with safety information regarding behaviour under lightning conditions
when outside or even at home
2) to provide contractors and mainly electrical contractors with practical information
regarding standards on lightning and surge protection.
week is huge. In this periods APF has also to answer to
questions raised by Medias and appears frequently on the TV.
Members in APF are either individuals or representing
companies (from small size companies to very large one).
Many lightning specialists are members of APF to provide
updated and accurate information from the technical side
and also from the keraunopathology side.
APF has relationship with SEE and UTE and publish regularly
documents with these two entities.
APF has presented lately folios on protection in camp sites,
during mountain walk and for boat/sea application. Quick
evolution of standards pushes also APS to produced didactical
papers for contractors and proposes a new seminar dedicated
to the publication of the last NF C 15-100 standard (French
version of the IEC 60364 standard).

VISIT OF PROVENCE
Beautifully situated, far from the main tourist routes of the Rhone Valley, the Luberon region
is blessed with the soft climate typical of the Mediterannean. This unique place offers visitors
an infinite variety of colorful and flagrant landscapes.
This typically provencal region has made protecting its natural and cultural heritage a priority,
down through the centuries. Officially classified as a regional nature park since 1977, the Luberon
also stands out because of the superior quality of the service offered to tourists.
Its attractive villages (Senanque, Roussillon, Gordes...), its local specialities and its tradition of
arts and handcrafts all guarantee that you will spend an unforgettable day in the south of France.
Notice : you may wish to wear comfortable shoes as the Roussillon part of the trip is a walking
part. In case, you do not wish to walk, you will be able to stroll where the bus stop before going
to the next point.
This tour is included in the delegates and accompanying persons registration fees (it is not included
in the student fee or any other package). Extra tickets may be purchased at the ICLP 2004

Il apparat aujourdhui clairement
sur la base des tudes entreprises
et d'aprs lexprience que seule
une protection foudre globale peut
tre efficace. Elle inclut non
seulement la protection par
paratonnerre, par parafoudre mais
galement les prises de terre,
lquipotentialit haute frquence,
les blindages Le nouveau
document UTE C 17-100-2 sur
lanalyse du risque correspond bien
cette exigence dapproche
globale. Aprs avoir dfini le risque
potentiel, les mesures de protection
proposes par ce document ne se
limitent plus au seul paratonnerre
mais permettent doptimiser le plan
de protection. En effet, laspect
conomique est fondamental dans
la protection foudre. Dans cette
perspective, la ncessit se fait
sentir depuis plusieurs annes, de
runir dans un fascicule un
ensemble de fiches traitant de la
protection contre tous les effets de
la foudre.
Union Technique de l'Electricit
et de la Communication
Il a pour but dassurer la cohrence
des connaissances existantes sur
le sujet et de servir de rfrence
dans le domaine de la dfinition
des contraintes et des principes de
protection. Cest lobjet du Guide
Foudre UTE-SEE.
Ce fascicule est destin aux
concepteurs, installateurs, contr-
leurs et plus largement aux
utilisateurs de systmes de
protection contre la foudre.
Il se compose dun glossaire et de
quatre grandes parties :
Phnomnes physiques associs
la foudre
Contraintes dues la foudre et
aux surtensions
Protection des structures et des
installations
Dmarche de protection et de
prvention
La troisime dition du Guide

tement rvise notamment pour
tenir compte des volutions
technologiques et des normes

Le guide Foudre UTE-SEE traite de la protection foudre dune faon
synthtique et globale. Un large ventail de professions, voire le
grand public lui-mme, est confront aux effets de la foudre. Or, la
grande majorit des personnes ne dispose, mme aujourd'hui que
de connaissances trs fragmentaires sur les phnomnes orageux,
sur la foudre, ou sur les moyens de s'en protger.
