1. Computers and other electronic equipment can
be affected by lightning strikes as much as a kilometre away.
2. Lightning activity causes transient overvoltages
(very fast electrical 'surges') on power, data communication,
signal and telephone lines - carrying them to vulnerable equipment.
3. All sorts of electrical equipment are at risk;
computers, building management systems, PABX telephone exchanges,
CCTV equipment, fire and burglar alarms, uninterruptible power
supplies, programmable logic controllers, data acquisition equipment
and weighbridge installations.
4. Transient overvoltage can cause
- instant damage to equipment and its circuitry
- costly and lengthy stoppages to operation
- latent damage, causing breakdowns weeks or
months later
5. Even if equipment is in a building with structural
lightning protection, it is still very much at risk (structural
protection prevents damage to the building and loss of life).
6. Most businesses are at risk and campus or multi-building
sites tend to be especially vulnerable
7. Lightning can and does strike in the same place,
time and time again - sites that have suffered once, have proved
themselves vulnerable and often suffer again within a matter of
months.
8. Electronic systems can be protected from transient
overvoltage damage, for a fraction for the cause of damage.
