How to keep household appliances away from lightning strike and reduce unnecessary losses in thunderstorm weather?

There are often thunderstorms and heavy rains in summer, and people are often worried about the safety of household appliances in this weather. How to keep household appliances away from lightning and reduce unnecessary losses in thunderstorm weather?

You shouldn't take risks.

First of all, we must make clear the harm of thunderstorm weather to electrical appliances. During the thunderstorm season, induction lightning often invades our home appliances. This situation will not only burn out electrical appliances and affect their service life, but also affect our personal safety. Therefore, when encountering thunderstorm weather, we should first pay attention to it psychologically, and don't take any chances, thinking that it won't hit our home.

Unplug the power supply

Even elderly people know to unplug the power when they encounter thunderstorm weather. This can not only prevent electrical appliances from being damaged by lightning, but also be simple and easy to implement. In addition, we have to unplug the network connection lines at home, including our broadband internet connection lines, digital set-top box data lines and other signal lines.

Install lightning protection device

Lightning protection devices can effectively help us prevent household appliances from being attacked by thunderstorms. Generally speaking, the easiest way is to buy a lightning-proof socket. In addition, attention should be paid to installing lightning protection devices when decorating and wiring at home. In addition, some electrical appliances have their own lightning protection function.

What about lightning electrical appliances?

When struck by lightning, we often hear a loud noise, and then all the power in the house is cut off. At this time, don't pull the switch by hand and turn on the electrical appliance. It is because there may be residual current on the electrical appliance, and touching it rashly may cause harm to people, so wear gloves or use professional equipment.
