Can I turn on the air conditioner when it thunders and lightning?

Don't turn on the air conditioner when it thunders and lightning. In case of thunderstorm, the air-conditioning plug should also follow the rules followed by other household appliances and be disconnected in time. If you unfortunately encounter objective circumstances such as power failure, you should also cut off the power supply of the air conditioner and let it stand for a few minutes after the call. In addition, in order to prevent unnecessary disasters such as fire, it is recommended to use special sockets for air conditioners, not to share sockets with other household appliances, and to use patch panels as little as possible.

Extended data:

Lightning has the opportunity to generate instantaneous high voltage on the wire. At this time, high voltage may break through electrical components, which may cause explosion in severe cases and burn out the safety tube in minor cases. Therefore, if it is a heavily thundered area, sometimes even the lights have to be turned off, because it may suddenly explode and hurt people nearby.

Moreover, household appliances are prone to moisture in summer, which leads to the decline of thermal insulation performance. If high-power electrical appliances are used at the same time, it will last for a long time, which will easily lead to line heating, accelerate the aging of insulation parts and even cause fire. When using high-power electrical appliances, the use time should be staggered to avoid long-term high-temperature operation and prevent potential safety hazards.
