Why do I need to add a surge protector to my distribution box to protect it from lightning?

The surge protector is installed inside the distribution box behind the input circuit breaker, and its main function is to protect against lightning. At the moment of lightning release, the voltage is high, the current is large, and the energy release time is short. Relying only on external lightning protection (lightning rods, etc.) is not enough. Lightning waves will directly or indirectly invade power lines, signal lines, antennae and metal pipes. The resulting lightning and overvoltage will cause great harm to electronic and electrical equipment and information network systems.

The damage caused by lightning is one of the most serious natural disasters. The residual voltage and induced lightning generated by lightning can still affect the electrical equipment used in your home, short-circuiting the electrical equipment used in your home and leading to direct losses such as combustion and explosion.

Lightning surge protector this over-voltage protection device is to prevent lightning disasters, but also take into account the resonance over-voltage in the low-voltage distribution lines, is an essential protection equipment in the low-voltage power supply system.

Lightning weather protection distribution box from lightning attacks, high voltage, high current quickly poured into the earth from the lightning protection grounding wire. This shows that it is very necessary to install surge protectors in the distribution box.
