The main measures for indoor lightning disaster prevention are as follows
Lightning disaster belongs to meteorological disaster. Human or animal casualties and fires caused by direct lightning strikes. The phenomenon that communication systems, radar antennas, power supply systems and various electronic information systems fail or fail due to the invasion of lightning waves and the interference of lightning electromagnetic pulses is called lightning disaster.
The most important measure to prevent lightning disaster indoors is to install lightning protection devices on the top of relatively high buildings or open-air distribution facilities. Lightning arrester can protect electrical equipment from the direct impact of lightning. Lightning strike is a natural phenomenon. When lightning weather comes, there is a huge potential difference between the charge on the earth and the charge in the cloud, which leads to lightning strike.
Other lightning protection methods
1. Indoor lightning protection: When it thunders, it is best to stay indoors and ensure that all doors and windows are closed. Avoid entering balconies, terraces or outdoor open areas during storms. Indoor is the safest place for lightning protection, because buildings usually have grounding systems and safety circuits.
2. Stay away from electronic equipment: When it thunders, avoid direct contact with electronic equipment, such as TV, computer and mobile phone. These devices may attract lightning and increase the risk of electric shock. It is best to pull them out of the socket and try to avoid using them.
3. Avoid using water: When it thunders, avoid touching electrical equipment such as faucets and washing machines, and shower or wash dishes. Water is a good conductor. If it comes into contact with live equipment or conductors during thunder, it will increase the possibility of electric shock.
4. Stay away from metal objects: avoid touching metal objects, such as household appliances, faucets, metal brackets, etc. Metal is a good conductor of current. When it comes into contact with charged metal objects, it will make current pass through our bodies, causing electric shock injury.
