Voltage Fluctuations: How Lightning Affects Power Supply

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Lightning causes voltage fluctuations in power supplies by inducing high-voltage surges through electromagnetic fields. These surges can disrupt electrical systems, leading to potential damage in household appliances and electronics. Understanding the mechanisms of lightning-induced voltage is crucial for implementing protective measures, such as surge protectors and grounding systems, to safeguard electrical infrastructure.
