This document provides definitions and information about basic knowledge of protecting structures from atmospheric electrical discharges. It discusses external protection systems, application of the fictitious sphere method, and internal protection systems. An introduction defines lightning protection systems and their components. These include external systems with air terminals, down conductors, and grounding systems, as well as internal systems to reduce electromagnetic effects inside protected spaces. Installation types in relation to the protected volume are also defined.
