Protect his house against lightning
This advice is mainly for areas that are frequently attacked by lightning on a summer day. To do this, install a lightning rod. This will allow us to safely remove the lightning currents in the ground clearance.
This will reduce the risk of fireThe lightning rod is available in four types: simple lightning rod, mesh cage, with tense and son with triggering.
As its name suggests, the first model consists of a thin metal having 2 to 8 m highIt is installed on the roof and connected to a conductor and a grounding. The second type, it includes a mesh roof and facade rounding the home to protect.
The son strained to lightning is based on the principle of the preceding except that the mesh is at a distance further away from the house to protect. This system is mainly used in open areas with no architectural support.
The latest model is a facility to give birth via an artificially ionization system an upward more advanced than other types of ascending.
Protecting your home against power surges
Protective devices of a home against power surges can be categorized into primary and secondary protection. In the first case, you must install a device to prevent power surges at the input of the power systems, telephones and other cable housing. Thus, there will be no problem associated with a large surge in the latterAfter installation, the entry of lightning currents and residual currents in the protected networks will be preventedIts protection extends to a radius of 1.5 km when there is lightning may affect the supply network telephone and electrical.
As part of a secondary protection, it will be a surge strip made at point of use that will serve as the protective device for electrical, telephone and coaxial. This device is doubly advantageous because it allows both a protection against external surges as internal overvoltage.
How to avoid a surge in the terminal equipment?
The terminal device is the element the most mattering in the electricity supply of the house. It is thus necessary to protect it to avoid a surge and obviously the destruction of vulnerable equipments as the television and the computer.
Numerous accessories allow to avoid cases of this kind. There is in particular the limiteurs of surge of the main panels of service which allow to have an optimal protection if there are electric disturbances coming from the distribution of the electricity. They are then attached to the wall grips near the equipments which they protect. |
