Spartka Lightning 3.1

Sparkta software is a specialized tool for the optimal design of lightning protection systems and metal towers (LPS Design). This software, a product of Sparta Lightning Protection, uses advanced 3D modeling to enable accurate simulation of various components of protection systems such as protective wires, lightning rods and metal towers. Sparkta helps engineers to make safe and effective designs for lightning protection of electrical installations and buildings by complying with international standards such as IEEE 998 and IEC 62305.

The software is capable of analyzing the impact of adjacent buildings on lightning protection and can simulate an entire set of buildings in an integrated manner. Sparkta also allows the choice between simulating a specific current or a probability distribution of lightning currents, which is very useful for statistical analysis and risk-based design. Using Sparkta, the effectiveness of lightning protection systems can be evaluated and optimized.
