What does eletrical surge do?

What does electrical surge do?

• Damage due to surge flows into the equipment through power, communication, signals, and lines, damaging the equipment or causing malfunction. Continuously causes damage to equipment systems connected to the network.
• Surge accumulated over a long period of time induces stress on the equipment, shortening its lifespan, and frequently causes damage to internal elements, deterioration of function, and malfunction. Studies have shown that about 88.3% of unexplained failures in electrical and electronic equipment are caused by surge.
• Decreased efficiency of solar power plants due to lightning (1.6%)

What is the second damage of the surge?

Secondary accidents that occur due to malfunction or damage to electrical systems, devices, protective relays, firefighting equipment, etc. cause enormous economic and human damage. For example, the 2011 high-speed rail accident in China that killed dozens of people was caused by lightning, but was terminated without the cause being clearly identified. More careful measures are needed to prepare for secondary damage rather than device malfunction or damage.
