Any free software available for lighting protection design and risk assesment?

Hello all,

Basically what the title says. I've been searching for a good one lately. Found out that DEHN had one (DEHNsupport Toolbox) however now it's paid.

Found some simpler free software:

However I'm looking for something more sophisticated. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Anywhere I can find IEC standards for cheap, if not for free?

Hi all,

I'm looking for the following standards regarding lightning protection:

  • IEC 62305-1:2024
  • IEC 62305-2:2024
  • IEC 62305-3:2024
  • IEC 62305-4:2024

They are pretty expensive to buy and I've read on a post that there are places I can buy them as an individual without paying some high premium on them, for example LVS:

I know it's pretty unlikely, but is there any place I can find them for even cheaper or maybe for free?

Thanks!
