How To Prevent Lightning Damage

Prevent Circuitry Lightning Damage

Any electronic circuitry can be damaged or destroyed by a lightning strike. This is because the voltages and currents (transients) created by such high-voltage events are well beyond the limits of most electronic equipment.

Lightning experts at Lightning Eliminators and Consultants Inc. understand the need for all industries to protect production equipment from direct lightning strikes, avoid sudden drops or surges in voltages, and even disconnect from the primary supply grid.

LEC offers some standard lightning safety measures to prevent lightning damage:

● Monitor weather conditions

● If someone is caught outdoors when the storm is in the area, they should immediately seek appropriate shelter, such as a building, low ground, clumps of bushes, a fully enclosed motor vehicle, etc.

● Alternately, if the lightning is extremely close and you are outside, put your feet together, duck your head on your knees, and crouch down low in a baseball catcher’s stance.

● Follow the 30/30 rule: if it takes less than 30 seconds to hear thunder after seeing a flash, lightning is near enough to pose a threat.

● If your hair is standing on its end, you are in lightning’s electric field

● If a co-worker gets struck by lightning, administer first aid immediately and seek medical assistance. It is entirely safe to touch them.

● Seek customized lightning safety solutions from Lightning Eliminators and Consultants Inc.

Imagine if, following a thunderstorm, your industrial electronic equipment fails to start, will not perform normal functions, loses a phase, starters short, or backup batteries are alarming and will not charge. It’s a good sign that you have sustained lightning damage or a power surge, even if your building did not experience a direct hit. These lightning damage costs are downtime, reduced production, industrial electronic repairs or replacement costs, and reputation and business loss.
