What should I do if household appliances are struck by lightning?
Mobile phone: it's best not to use it during thunder
In recent years, news about lightning caused by lightning and frequent casualties has often been reported. However, the industry has different views on whether mobile phones are used for lightning, and it has caused quarrels in the field of lightning protection.
One faction believes that when lightning strikes, a large amount of positive charge accumulates in the clouds, and the ground produces a large amount of negative charges. The process of receiving signals by the mobile phone is to receive electromagnetic waves, which is equivalent to building a channel for the thunder and lightning. Negative charges are connected to each Other, which will instantly lead the mine. Even if the mobile phone is not in working condition, the generation and reception of electromagnetic waves between the base station and the base station may cause lightning strikes. According to another school of thought, mobile phones will not cause lightning. The reason why people who use mobile phones when thundering is struck by lightning is because their location is at a commanding height relative to the surrounding environment.
Regardless of which side is more correct, it can be determined that the mobile phone's magnetic field will certainly change when thunder strikes, so for safety reasons, it is best not to use mobile phones when thundering.
Fixed telephone: Directly exposed telephone line
There is still controversy over whether or not mobile phones are used for lightning. The industry has agreed that fixed telephones are easy to ignite. It is understood that when a lightning strike occurs, it is easy to enter the various types of metal pipes and wires on the building to generate lightning electromagnetic pulses, which are called inductive lightnings. The induced lightning can easily enter the room through the fixed telephone line. Nowadays, the city's fixed telephones are mostly underground pipelines, and they are also safe. In rural areas and many places in the mountains, telephone lines are still exposed directly to the outdoors. There is a risk. However, if a telephone line lightning arrester is installed, it can be reduced. Ray's possible. Computer: Unplug the network cable and the power and fixed telephones are similar to the principle of easy lightning, the computer's power cable and network cable, etc. may also become the "channel" of the induction mine, in severe cases will burn the power supply or the motherboard, if the computer is still used when thunder If you go online, the loss of your computer will be even greater. Therefore, the interior of the computer needs to be equipped with lightning protection devices, namely, shielding, grounding and installation of lightning arresters. Without these devices, it is not useful to turn off the device during thunder and it is necessary to remove the plug.
Household appliances: too close to the wall to be easily struck by lightning
The thunder and lightning protection of household appliances is also very important. Inductive lightning can easily enter the interior through power lines, cable TV lines, etc. These are all connected directly to the electrical products in the home. In addition, refrigerators, air conditioners, and laundry are also available. Home appliances such as TVs and TVs are often placed near the wall. Once a building is struck by lightning, powerful lightning currents will flow down the outer walls or pillars of the building. In the process, due to the external walls or pillars of the building, Powerful lightning currents flow through, creating electric and magnetic fields in the surrounding space. If home appliances are placed too close to an external wall or column, they may be damaged. Although many home appliances will be designed with lightning protection devices into consideration, but pay attention to some lightning protection measures, be careful, there is always nothing wrong.
Air Conditioning: Outdoor Machine Attention to Lightning
Air conditioning is one of the household electrical appliances that are most vulnerable to lightning strikes. Because the compressors for air-conditioning and refrigeration are often installed outdoors, they are vulnerable to direct lightning strikes. At the same time, lightning is introduced into the room to burn out the host and even harm other items. Therefore, when installing an outdoor machine, lightning protection measures are required. In addition, the indoor unit must be shielded to prevent lightning current intrusion. It is best to stop using the air conditioner during thunder and pull out the power supply.
Solar water heater: it is best to install an independent lightning rod
Another home appliance that is installed outdoors and easy to ignite is a solar water heater. If the user is bathing or using water when thundering occurs, the solar water heater at the highest point of the building and the human body become a conductive body and become a lightning protection device. If lightning strikes a solar water heater, it will endanger human life safety. The installation of a solar water heater on the roof requires the installation of a separate lightning rod, and in the case of thunder, it is best not to use a water heater to avoid and reduce the damage caused by lightning.
TV: Keep away from windows and doors
In the past when the outdoor antenna was used, the possibility that the TV set was struck by lightning was relatively large. Now there is no need to worry about the possibility of outdoor antenna lightning, but you need to be careful about windows and doors. Windows and doors are one of the important ways for lightning to invade the room, so they are placed in the home. When you are on a TV, you should choose to stay away from doors and windows. Once thunder, quickly close the doors and windows, turn off the TV, and pull out the plug, pay attention to the cable signal cable is also pulled out, so that you can better protect the TV from lightning damage.
Washing machine: pay attention to the water pipe now more than the family to use automatic washing machines, washing machine washing machine circuit board is a module integrated microelectronics computer board, lightning resistance is relatively poor, lightning strikes easily lead to short circuit board, causing the washing machine can not use or even leakage. Another safety hazard for washing machines in thunderstorms comes from the water pipes, which also increases the probability of the machine being hit by a lightning strike. So when it is thunder, it is best to stop using the washing machine and remove the power outlet. When not in use, it is best not to connect the washing machine to the water pipe.
