Computer Protection During Lightning Storms

Park City experiences some pretty severe electrical storms in the spring and fall. You should protect all your electrical equipment from a possible lightning strike. Surge Protectors are great for normal surges of electricity; however, lightning produces such high voltage the spike can jump right through the protection circuits in a surge protector. Some surge protectors carry an insurance policy which may replace equipment if damaged by lightning.

Whenever we have a lightning storm approaching or you are going to be gone from your home or business during lightning season, it’s a good idea to unplug all the computer equipment from the wall outlet including peripheral devices. Don’t forget to unplug your phone line from the modem port or DSL modem.

These precautions will better ensure your computers survival during electrical storms.
