When lightning surge or induced surge enters the fire system

If a lightning surge or induced surge occurs in the fire system, the following phenomena may occur:

1. Fire alarm malfunction : Lightning-induced momentary overvoltages can cause fire alarm systems to malfunction, causing unnecessary alarms.

2. Damage to fire equipment : Surges can damage electronic components such as fire receivers, detectors, and repeaters, which can interfere with the normal operation of the system.

3. Gas Fire Extinguisher Malfunction : If lightning strikes affect gas fire extinguisher systems, unnecessary gas releases may occur, which can result in damage to life and property.

4. Data Loss and System Downtime : Surges can affect network and communication systems, resulting in data loss or system downtime.

5. Grounding System Problems : If the grounding system becomes unstable due to lightning, it can create potential differences within the power system, which can cause additional electrical problems.

To prevent these problems, it is necessary to install surge protection devices (SPDs) , strengthen the grounding system , and conduct regular inspections .
