1.0 INTRODUCTION:
This paper describes the calculation memory system lightning protection
and description of materials for the project Insectaria downloads - Iquitos.

2.0 GENERAL:
These calculations are applicable only for the system lightning protection for
building protection considered the Insectaria Project - Iquitos and does not
apply to other facilities and / or staff that may be located near it.

The materials described herein, will be used in the system type Building
Faraday cage protection, they have been selected according to the rules and
calculations in this document.

For the distribution of air terminals and area calculation system protection
against lightning, it will continue as indicated in the regulations for
installation of lightning protection systems: NFPA 780, UNE EN62305.

3.0 CODES AND STANDARDS:

The following are considered:
NFPA National Fire Protection Association
IEC International Electromechanical Commission
UL Underwriter's Laboratories
CNE National Electrical Code.

6. INSTALLATION TO PROTECT - BUILDING

The building to be protected within the project has the following dimensions:
Length: 13,818 m.
Width: 8.36 m.
Height: 9.75 m (approx.)
Equipment to be protected:
- Lab.
- Electronic equipment.
- Switchboard.

Imagende according to the characteristics of the building, protection

mediantes air terminals to be installed on the roof is sufficient to cover the
entire building. The system characteristics are determined according to the
results of the risk assessment method applied design and specifications as
standard.
