Find out how a thunderstorm works and why it is important to protect your systems with Euthalia Antimpatto®
When we watch a thunderstorm, we often use the terms lightning and thunder indiscriminately. But in reality, they refer to very different phenomena. Understanding this difference is the first step in understanding why it is important to protect your home, business or boat from damage caused by atmospheric discharges.
☁️ Lightning and thunderbolts: they are not the same thing.
- Lightning is the flash of light produced by an electrical discharge in the atmosphere. It is visible even at great distances and propagates almost instantaneously.
- Lightning, on the other hand, is the actual electrical discharge, which can strike the ground, between clouds or between a cloud and an object (such as buildings, boats, antennas, etc.).
In simple terms:
lightning can be seen, thunder can be heard (and feared).
Finally, thunder is the noise generated by the rapid heating and subsequent expansion of the air through which the lightning discharge passes.
⚠️ Why is lightning dangerous?
A single lightning strike can carry up to 200,000 amps of current. The damage caused can include:
- Fires and explosions
- Damage to electrical and photovoltaic systems
- Destruction of electronic equipment
- Risk to people and animals
Despite its speed, lightning is predictable and preventable with the right technology.
