What is an electrical surge?
Electrical surges occur when the flow of electricity is interrupted, then started again. Surges can also occur when something sends electricity flowing back into the system. Surges can range from five or ten volts from you turning on your hair dryer to thousands of volts from lightning striking a transformer.
Did you know: More than half of household surges are internal and they happen dozens of times of day. Refrigerators and air conditioners are the biggest culprits, but even smaller devices such as hair dryers, power tools and vacuums can also cause problems.
Lightning strike electrical surges
There are normally two types of surges from a lightning strike that cause damage to your home or business.
Direct strikes: Is where lightning strikes either a building or a cable that goes into the building and the energy from the strike finding its way to earth either through the building or through equipment inside the building. Although not very common these are the most damaging your home or business.
Indirect strikes: Is where lightning strikes an object and the energy from the strike induces into the cables within a certain distance from the strike point. The induced surge then travels down the cable finding its way to earth. This is more devastating as it isn't as obvious as a direct strike to the building.
