Does lightning have an effect on televisions?

Yes. So will the thunder cause the TV to malfunction? Let's see what the experts have to say.

When I watch TV when there is thunder, the image is very unstable, the interference is large, and I am always a little scared, worried that the plane will be destroyed and people will die, is this possible? In fact, as long as the outdoor antenna is not connected, the TV is used indoors, and there is generally no need to be frightened, because although the thunder and lightning are powerful, before entering the room, the thunderstorm clouds have already discharged with the earth. In the short discharge process, most of its huge energy is converted into heat, light and other energy, so it will not cause harm.

Usually when lightning strikes, when watching TV during the event, most of the interference on the screen and in the accompanying sound is the radiant energy of lightning, not the energy of induction or discharge. This kind of radiant energy generally does not damage the TV. However, it must be emphasized that it is dangerous to use an outdoor antenna or to watch television outdoors during a thunderstorm, and lightning protection measures must be taken if it is monitored.

There are two main occasions for lightning strikes, one is indoors and the other is outdoors. Let's talk about how to avoid lightning strikes in both cases. If it's raining and thundering and you're indoors, it doesn't mean you're safe from lightning.

At this time, you should close the doors and windows, turn off the electrical appliances that are in use in the home, such as televisions, hair dryers, etc., and unplug the power plugs. You also need to stay away from indoor metal facilities, such as radiators, sewer pipes, doors and windows, and away from power lines, ** lines, broadcast lines, etc., to prevent being struck by lightning. Also, don't wear damp clothes at home, and don't lean near damp walls, which can be dangerous to you.

It seems that it is not impossible to watch TV on a thunderous day, but it is necessary to have certain measures to watch TV. For the sake of safety, you must not be sloppy. For more TV information, please pay attention to the Maiyoge electrical network.

Yes, and there is no regularity to follow in repairing a TV that has been damaged by lightning, and many circuits may be damaged, so when there is a cloud and lightning, it is necessary to unplug the antenna and power cord when it is safe to do so. (The situation is much better if the building has a lightning rod).

This is what happens. Because the TV used in the past, it is necessary to use an outdoor antenna to receive TV signals, and the longer the outdoor antenna, the higher the degree of signal it will receive, so this leads to lightning strikes when thunder strikes. Especially when watching TV during thunder, there will be a lot of interference in the TV screen or audio track, in serious cases, lightning will hit the antenna of the TV, which will make the wire produce instantaneous high voltage, at this time, the high voltage may break through the electrical components, and then it is likely to cause **, so the thunder will break the TV.

Suggested workaround:

1. If the line of the TV is damaged due to thunder, or the motherboard is burned, then see if the TV is still within the warranty period, if it is still within the warranty period, then it is best to contact the after-sales service in time to deal with it. If the maintenance period has passed, then you must also contact a special home appliance maintenance personnel to come to check and repair.

2. When lightning damages household appliances, it is likely to cause the power supply in the home to trip, at this time, do not panic, you can first see if there are any obvious problems with other lines, and then if there is no problem, you can unplug all kinds of electrical appliances first, and then turn on the power, and then contact professionals to come to repair.

will break. Generally, when watching TV during lightning time, most of the interference on the screen or audio track is from the radiant energy of lightning, not the energy of induction or discharge. If it is only this kind of radiant energy that interferes with the work of the TV set, it will not cause damage to the TV set.

And the real disadvantage of the TV is that the lightning hits the wire line or ** line used in your home, which will cause the wire to produce an instantaneous high voltage At this time, the high voltage may break through the electrical components, and the serious one may burn the TV picture tube, and the slight one will also burn the fuse tube.

Suggested Treatment:

In new buildings, there are usually surge protectors in the distribution boxes. In the event of an instantaneous overvoltage, the pressure relief channel will be automatically activated to keep the voltage fluctuation within the normal range. Therefore, it is nothing if you do not pull the plug on a thunderstorm.

However, although the surge protector is good, it is easy to have an accident in the event of a strong thunderstorm. Moreover, old communities and rural self-built houses often do not have protectors.

Thunder may not break the TV, but when thunder, lightning strikes the wires or lines used in your home, and the instantaneous voltage is tens of thousands of volts.

It is recommended not to ** the TV set when it is raining and thundering.

4. It is recommended to unplug the TV in thunderstorms and do not watch TV to avoid damage.

Lightning rarely shatters a TV screen, but it is possible. In most cases, lightning strikes are high-voltage currents along the antenna, network cables, and mains lines into the TV, causing damage to the circuit chip, which is manifested as the TV not turning on, not being able to connect to the Internet, and there is no fault such as signal slippage.

Related knowledge popularization: 1. When watching TV during the general thunder time, most of the interference in the screen or audio track is from the radiation energy of lightning, not the energy of induction or discharge, if it is only this kind of radiation energy that interferes with the work of the TV, it will not damage the TV. And the real disadvantage of the TV is that the lightning hits the wire line or ** line used in your home, which will cause the wire to produce an instantaneous high voltage At this time, the high voltage may break through the electrical components, and the serious one may burn the TV picture tube, and the slight one will also burn the fuse tube.

2. But now the electrical appliances can basically be used normally when thundering, and they are not afraid of lightning strikes. If the TV hanger is not strong, if the lightning strikes too loudly, and the vibration causes the TV to fall off, then the TV screen will definitely break.

3. Now the lightning protection measures are better than before, the original buildings are generally relatively low, and basically will not be equipped with lightning rods and lightning nets, when lightning strikes, it is easy to split the circuit system, thereby causing damage to the electrical appliances used, and the lightning rod can effectively protect the ground equipment from being struck by lightning.

Thunder and watching TV are dangerous.

It is dangerous to use an outdoor antenna or watch TV outdoors during thunder, because lightning can be transmitted to the inside of the TV through the outdoor antenna, burning the circuit, and at the same time it may hit the transmission wire and cause a disaster. At the same time, the outdoor antenna plug must be unplugged from the TV and the outdoor antenna must be grounded to prevent lightning from damaging the antenna and endangering personal safety.

There is danger. Remove the power plug and wired plug when thundering, so that the danger is a little less.

Generally speaking, the problem of not having an external antenna is not a big problem. However, whether the computer circuit at home is grounded or not, and the wireless signal current may also affect the TV to burn out. But this is unlikely.

Yes, beware of the TV crashing.

It's okay without lightning, but it's not possible because lightning and thunder are produced together, but lightning is fast.

It's not good to say it's thunder...To ensure the security of the network and your computer, please turn off your computer and power during a thunderstorm. I was burned. Network card. Power supply. Cat.

It should be noted that if there is thunderstorm, do not turn on the TV, and unplug all the power plugs of the TV, otherwise once the TV is struck by lightning, it will be too late to regret it.

It is impossible to do without danger.

This situation is possible, because when watching TV during the normal thunder time, there will be interference in the screen or audio track, and this interference is mostly from radiant energy, which is caused by thunder, not induction or discharge energy. And if it is this kind of interference-like radiant energy, it will not damage the TV. And the real reason for this problem is that due to the thunder of empty objects, lightning hits the power line, which will make the wire produce high voltage in an instant, at this time, the high voltage may penetrate the electrical components, and the serious one may burn the TV picture tube, and the slight one will also burn the fuse.

Therefore, when thundering, try not to use high-power electrical appliances at home to prevent high-voltage power outages due to damage to power lines.

But now most of the building distribution box will be equipped with surge protector, if the lightning encounters, the voltage is too high instantaneously, the protector will automatically start the protection device, open the pressure relief channel, so as to keep the voltage fluctuation within the allowable range of fluctuations, therefore, now even if it is an ordinary thunderstorm, do not pull out the plug to continue to use nothing, but these are built on the basis of the community distribution box equipped with a protector, if you are not sure whether it is installed in place, it is better to be cautious.

Yes. Here's why:

Generally, when watching TV during lightning time, most of the interference on the screen or audio track comes from the radiant energy of lightning, rather than the energy of induction or discharge. If it is only this kind of radiant energy that interferes with the work of the TV, it will not cause damage to the TV. And the real disadvantage of the TV is that the lightning hits the wire line or ** line used in your home, which will cause the wire to produce an instantaneous high voltage At this time, the high voltage may break through the electrical components, and the serious one may burn the TV picture tube, and the slight one will also burn the fuse tube.
