Can I turn on the air conditioner when there is lightning and thunder?

I can't. 1. Lightning has both electrostatic dynamic damage and high voltage damage. The high voltage generated by the violent movement of the atmosphere can be violently discharged instantly through the power line or antenna (mainly long line) of the electrical equipment, leading to internal breakdown (high voltage damage) or melting (power supply damage) of electronic components in the electrical equipment, and finally causing permanent damage to the electrical equipment. 2. Moreover, the strong magnetic field generated by this high-voltage strong discharge sometimes generates high voltage in the transformers of some electrical appliances and burns electronic components. Good electrical appliance manufacturers will take corresponding lightning protection measures when designing circuits and printed circuit boards. Lightning rods must be installed in high-rise buildings. Don't use electrical appliances when it thunders. Air conditioning is one of the most vulnerable household appliances to lightning. Because air conditioners and refrigeration compressors are usually installed outdoors, they are vulnerable to direct lightning strikes. At the same time, lightning is introduced indoors, which burns out the main engine and even endangers other items. 4. In thunderstorm weather, try to keep curtains away from air conditioners or curtains made of flame retardant fabrics. According to the past lessons, curtains are the main media for the fire spread of window air conditioning. When using electric air conditioner for heating, you must remember to cut off the power supply of the electric heating part when you turn it off. 5. Two other factors need to be considered for lightning protection of air conditioners. First, the compressor installed outdoors should be welded with the down lead of the building or the structural column reinforcement used as the down lead to prevent direct lightning strike; The second is to shield the indoor air conditioning host to prevent lightning current from invading. When it thunders and rains, stop using the air conditioner and cut off the power. Precautions 1. When it thunders and rains, it is forbidden to stay at the top of the mountain or on the high hills. More importantly, we should watch the rain often. Don't hide under big trees or near telephone poles, and don't walk or stand in open fields. You should hide in a low-lying place as soon as possible, or try to find a room or a dry cave. 2. In thunderstorm weather, don't use an umbrella with a metal handle, and take off glasses, watches and belts with metal frames. If you travel by bike, you should leave the bike as soon as possible and stay away from other metal objects to avoid being struck by lightning due to conduction. Don't go swimming, boating and fishing in thunderstorm weather. In rivers, rivers and lakes. 4. In case of lightning and storm, visitors should immediately turn off indoor TV, tape recorder, stereo, air conditioner and other electrical appliances to avoid conduction. When it thunders, it is safer to stay in the middle of the room, avoid staying under electric lights and leaning against pillars, walls, doors and windows, so as to avoid accidents caused by induced electricity when it thunders.
