I would like to know what precautions should be taken when using electricity during thunder and lightning?

What should be paid attention to when using electricity during thunder and lightning weather, mainly as follows:

First: Check the circuit and replace the aging circuit in time. Check whether electrical appliances such as leakage protection switches are operating normally, and whether the neutral wire or ground wire has fallen off. If any problems are found, please ask professionals for repairs in time.

Second, do not use solar water heaters for bathing. Solar water heaters are basically installed on the roof, which may cause lightning. Do not touch metal objects such as gas pipes and water pipes.

Third: Try not to use your mobile phone. Use wireless and wireless phones and computers with caution. During thunderstorms, the electromagnetic wave signal of the mobile phone is strong when making and receiving calls, which can easily trigger "induction thunder".

Fourth: Unplug the power plug. Do not turn on household appliances such as TVs, computers, VCDs, etc., and unplug the power plug to avoid lightning and damage to electrical appliances. When water enters the house, turn off the main power switch to prevent electrical equipment from leaking electricity.

The above are precautions for indoor electricity use, and the following are precautions for outdoor use.

First: Do not take shelter from the rain under the transformer. There are strong winds in thunderstorms, which may break overhead wires. Lightning strikes and heavy rains can easily cause short circuits and discharges in bare wires or transformers, posing a threat to personal safety. Try to stay away from telephone poles, transformers, distribution boxes and other electrical equipment during thunderstorms.

Second: Do not stay near tall transformer trees, billboards, street lights or take shelter from the rain. Thunderstorms are generally accompanied by strong winds. Strong winds can easily break branches or knock down billboards. Once the adjacent wires are broken, electric shock accidents may occur if the human body comes in contact with them. At the same time, do not get close to neon lights, traffic lights, street light poles, etc., as they pass through water. It is easy to leak electricity.

Third: Don’t wade in stagnant water. If it is necessary to flood the water, first check whether there are any fallen wires in the water. If there are any, mark the area immediately to prevent others from approaching, and call the local power supply service hotline to notify the power supply personnel to handle it.

Fourth: Do not get close to electric poles or cable-stayed wires. The upper wires of the cable-stayed iron wires are very close. During thunderstorms, the cable-stayed iron wires may be charged, and the poles are prone to leakage.

Fifth: If you find someone getting electrocuted, don’t rush to help. First use insulating tools to open the wires. Do not rescue people with bare hands. Do not use wet tools or metal objects to open the wires. At the same time, call 120 for rescue personnel to rescue on site.

Sixth: Don’t panic if a power line falls near you. At this time, you need to jump on one leg or jump together, and stay 8 meters away from the scene. Do not walk in stride, otherwise the human body may be electrocuted.
