IEEE EMC-S PL reported activity no. 5/2023: EMC MARATHON at EMC EUROPE EMC "Electromagnetic compatibility of mountain ropeways in a lightning environment"
The purpose of this tutorial is to present the method of assessing the lightning hazard of
mountain cableways and the selection of protective measures based on the results of this
assessment in relation to station buildings, an overhead passenger transport line
and people (passengers and tourists in the vicinity of station buildings). The cableway is treated
as an extensive building structure, therefore the guidelines contained in the series of lightning
protection standards IEC/EN 62305 are the appropriate tool for analyzing the resistance of
such objects.
The subject of detailed considerations are the risks resulting from the impact of direct and
nearby lightning on mountain cableways for all existing installations: both the supporting
structure of the overhead cableway and each of the stations (lower, upper and intermediate -
if any). They have a direct impact on the overvoltage and lightning hazard of the cableway. It
is necessary to disclose all possible ways of overvoltage penetration into these facilities and
to carry out an analysis of the compliance of the currently existing protection measures with
the requirements of current standards and regulations regarding the electromagnetic
compatibility of cableway equipment and systems in the presence of nearby lightning
discharges and the resistance of the structure of the railway transport line and its station
buildings to direct lightning discharges.
On the example of an existing overhead circular monocable railway facility, the results of a
practical assessment of the effectiveness of locally applied lightning and surge protection
measures and the degree of their actual adaptation to the requirements of current EMC and
lightning protection standards will also be presented. Existing threats revealed during this
assessment will be demonstrated, both in relation to the safety of people and in relation to the
systems of technical devices.
