Some people think that the possibility of being struck by lightning in a family home is very small, so there is no need to install lightning protection equipment. If this is not possible, just install a lightning rod. However, this is not the case. Big data on lightning strikes tells us that relying solely on lightning rods is not enough to protect households from lightning. This is especially true for TVs, phones, computers, etc. that have signal receiving functions. In the face of lightning hazards, home lightning protection is imperative.
This is only the current situation of lightning losses in Guangdong. If combined with the national lightning loss data, it can be imagined that the lightning accident data is staggering. Here, we would like to remind the general public that they must understand the dangers of lightning strikes and must know the knowledge of lightning protection. They must start from the root cause and correctly respond to lightning damage. Below, Leitong Lightning Protection will introduce three ways of lightning intrusion to help you correctly protect your home from lightning.
1. Intrusion from the power line
Before the power is input into the room through power lines, it may be subject to direct lightning strikes and lightning induction. Direct lightning strikes high-voltage power lines, which can cause a devastating blow to the power supply system. At this time, we need to use a power supply lightning arrester for protection to ensure circuit safety.
2. Intrusion from signal line
When thunderclouds discharge to the ground, an overvoltage of thousands of volts occurs on the line, destroying the microelectronic equipment connected to the line and intruding into other communication lines through the equipment connections. This kind of intrusion spreads along communication lines, involves a wide range of areas, and is extremely harmful. If a signal lightning arrester is installed at this time, these dangers will be eliminated, ensuring the safety of electronic equipment and not being affected by lightning strikes.
3. Lightning rod induces counter current invasion
Nowadays, people mostly use lightning rods for protection, but lightning rods only prevent damage to buildings from direct lightning strikes. At the same time, lightning rods will produce radiated potential distribution, forming counterattack lightning current, causing harm to indoor electronic equipment.
The reason why families are suffering from lightning strikes more and more often can be analyzed for the following reasons:
1. The awareness of household lightning protection is weak. Some people don’t even know about household lightning protection. In addition, thunder and lightning weather is increasing day by day, and safety protection measures are not enough. People often take a chance and think that the probability of being struck by lightning is very small. However, with the increasing number of household appliances and smart homes, it is difficult for these to withstand lightning damage. Families have to pay attention.
Second, the lightning protection equipment is not complete, and even if the lightning protection equipment is not installed or the installation is wrong, some lightning protection equipment does not play a good protective role against lightning damage, but induces lightning damage. Therefore, when choosing a lightning protector, you should choose a standard household power supply lightning arrester or signal lightning arrester equipment to better protect the safety of home appliances.
Third, the structural design of lightning protection equipment is reasonable. Some manufacturers do not have the lightning protection technology in place or cut corners on materials, resulting in phenomena such as reduced service life of lightning protection products or easy damage. The replacement frequency is fast and the lightning protection effect cannot be achieved. In terms of household lightning protection, the general public must not ignore it. From a small perspective, lightning can cause damage such as shortened service life to household appliances and other equipment. From a large perspective, a little carelessness will cause fires and even casualties. Therefore, it is urgent to protect families from lightning. For family safety, lightning protection work must be done in place.
