Is it dangerous to play computer games when it thunders?

It is dangerous to thunder and play computer games.

Because most computer networks are wired, once the cable receives lightning, it will be transmitted to the computer through the line, which may lead to computer damage. Therefore, when it thunders, you should not only play computer, but also unplug the network cable in time.

In thunderstorm weather, try not to make a phone call, answer the phone or use the mobile phone to surf the Internet. It is best to unplug the metal wires that may introduce lightning, such as the power supply of household appliances and the closed circuit of TV.

In order to prevent lightning current from entering along the line, internal lightning protection measures should be taken, such as shielding, grounding, equipotential and lightning arrester (SPD). There are no lightning protection measures in general houses. In other words, it is possible to be struck by lightning when using a computer in thunderstorm weather.

Methods of protecting computers in lightning and rainstorm.

1, using a stable power supply

Lightning often leads to unstable power supply and voltage fluctuation under the impact of cyclone current. Such voltage fluctuation poses a hidden danger to computer hardware, which may lead to computer damage. Therefore, using a stable power supply, such as a voltage regulator or UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), can effectively protect the computer from voltage fluctuations.

2, the use of lightning protection overcurrent protector

The strong current caused by lightning is often conducted in the conductor, resulting in instantaneous overcurrent. Because of the dead stroke and the poor speed of fuse action, such current surge can easily damage the computer for a long time. Using lightning protection overcurrent protector can quickly cut off the power transmission line, avoid the harm of overcurrent to the computer and protect the integrity of computer equipment.
