Can I turn on the air conditioner in thunderstorm weather?

1. You can turn on the air conditioner when it thunders, but you'd better not.

2. When designing the air conditioner, a "lightning protection" board is designed on the main control board. The signal communication lines between the indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner are mostly shielded signal lines, and the air conditioner has good grounding. These are all to ensure that the air conditioner can work normally in thunderstorm weather, when the power supply voltage fluctuates or when there is electromagnetic interference beside the air conditioner. However, air conditioning is one of the most vulnerable household appliances to lightning, because the compressors used for air conditioning and refrigeration are often installed outdoors and are easily struck by lightning. At the same time, lightning is introduced into the room, which burns out the main engine and even harms other items. If you don't turn on the air conditioner, the air conditioner is in a power-off state at this time, which can minimize the possibility of lightning and rain burning the motherboard. So it is recommended not to turn on the air conditioner when it thunders.
