Choose the best answer.
To best protect your house from electrical surges, sags, and spikes caused by lighting strikes, experts recommend which of the following approaches.
The answer is C
A) Turn off all of your appliances and do not turn them on until the risk of lightning is over in your area.
B) Install a good quality surge protector for the whole house.
C) Install a good quality surge protector for the whole house and every electronic device that may be damaged.
D) Install a good quality surge protector for the electronic devices.
E) Install at least one more ground rod next to your meter base.
Most experts agree that the best
approach to protecting your home from lighting's effects is to
incorporate several layers of defence. This would possibly include a
lighting arrestor on the incoming lines. A whole house surge
suppresser would be the next item to install. Manufactures also make
an outlet that has suppression. Finally a suppression strip would
complete the layout.
Even with all of these
protections, no guarantee of total protection can be made for a
direct lighting strike.
Even though lightning strikes occur miles away from your home, spikes, sags, and surges can still be experienced.
