Electrical and electronic equipment surge protection measures

Thunderstorm season affect the electrical safety of the main causes of invasive of the lightning electromagnetic induction or lightning wave. For a family, the radio waves invade the main power supply lines, telephone lines, cable TV or wireless TV feeders and other ways. These pathways are direct external line access and home appliances, is more serious harm when these lines overhead burglary.
 
Buildings shall be mine design specifications to installation of lightning protection devices, such as a lightning rod, deflectors and ground devices.
 
Before lightning occurs, it is best to unplug the plug of household appliances, do not watch TV, no air conditioning, not to fight the wired telephone outdoor antenna, the lightning before to unplug the antenna plug.
 
Wired telephone: In the usual case, the input port of the telephone line anti-abnormal voltage of the protector, but if lightning, there may be very close to the distance telephone line strength abnormal voltage invasive, harmful to the telephone and the human body . Therefore, strong thunderstorms, for personal safety or not you call as well.
 
Computer: computer room and computer systems in addition to shielding and grounding measures should be installed at the input end of the signal cable terminal equipment signal surge protector, refused and "UPS" front and equipment in the total power, computer room power distribution socket to install a power surge protector, thunder is best not to use the computer, unplug the power cable plug. This is the VLSI sensitivity due to computer use is very high, even in buildings installed lightning protection devices, lightning, electromagnetic induction and electrostatic induction will continue to high voltage shock wave is formed, so that the electronic device is destroyed.
 
Solar water heaters: lightning protection devices should be installed, solar water heater is best not to use the thunder.
Televisions and other appliances: TV, air conditioning and other appliances, good grounding of the electrical equipment, it is recommended to use a lightning protection socket, household appliances and building facades to maintain a certain distance.
