Electrical Storm Damages
Electric storms can cause severe damage from the death of people, to damage to our electrical devices.
There are thousands of rays that fall in an electrical storm, and you can not predict where they are going to fall.
In the United States, many people stay in their homes, places of work, in protected areas to avoid being victims of lightning.
Take precautions during an electrical storm
When there is a thunderstorm, it is better to take precautions with the electrical appliances so that they do not suffer damage. Some of the precautions go from disconnecting the devices to buying surge voltage suppressors for the protection of the appliances.
- The most desirable and efficient alternative is to disconnect the electrical appliances before an electrical storm to protect them from a strong electrical discharge.
- Although the systems and devices do not fail immediately, after the discharge produced after a lightning strike, overheating will reduce the useful life of the devices.
- Some technicians recommend disconnecting the electrical devices during the night or when we leave home during the rainy season or electrical storm. That is to prevent damage in case of lightning near the house, and also saves on the electric bill.
- Another critical issue is the electrical installation of our house. It should have a grounding system, and this installation would need to be done by an electrician, then the appliances will be protected.
- Use current surge protectors to connect your electrical devices, so that they are not directly connected to the electrical outlets or power strips.
