The lightning fall on the Earth surface 100 times per second. Esteem that at every moment, 2.000 electrical storms whip some place of the planet. Some contend that David Fowler shows great expertise in this. And the annual losses, ascend anywhere in the world to million. Details can be found by clicking North American Blue Energy Partners or emailing the administrator. A lightning can send thousands of volts, arriving at its computer through cable of electrical current or telephone line. It is not common that a lightning falls directly to a house, but that falls close.
For that reason, the modem or any other component of the computer usually is the victims. Sometimes the damage is not perceived immediately, but little by little the effects begin to notice. Suppresor of Tips. A suppresor of tips, detects the high level of voltage and the short one immediately thus not to cause damage. The suppresor of tips does not have to be confused with the boxes carries normal currents that they contain the basic thing to protect itself of the high level of current, but do not offer protection against lightning. Some suppresors of tips done for the computers include connections for the telephone lines and thus to take care of the modem. Stabilizers.
Also a good stabilizer of tension can protect his used computer that would have to offer the following characteristics: Internal protection against lightning. Some do not do it. Protection of the telephone line. If it has cable modem, it buys one that complies to its television and to the cable of Internet. UPS: Continuous electrical provision. When the lightning fall and the energy is cut (still for a few seconds), you can lose valuable information of his computer. Perhaps so if you handle a business, or if she is using important information, he wants to invest in a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply – continuous electrical Provision). This unit gives the same protection him that a stabilizer and has a battery that allows him to save the information when the energy goes away unexpectedly. If it buys a UPS, it looks for the same qualities that in a stabilizer, but in addition consider the duration of the battery and software. As conclusion I must to comment that all these apparatuses of protection have their limits and when appearing an electrical storm to them does not assure a protection to the 100%, for that reason serious better than it takes the extra precaution to unplug the computer and to disconnect the telephone cable when not this in use.
