Lightning Bolt damages Components
A ThunderBolt Zap can damage electronic parts. The Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker ELCB or Overload Breaker may Trip.
Surge Protection and Lightning ArrestorsMains Strip Board should have protection, The EMI RFI filter, Varistors can help. Earthing and Lightning Arrestors should be good in the building.
The Blue ones are MOV Metal Oxide Varistors, sometimes they fail as a short circuit, so better to use a fast blow fuse. Then you see Gas Tube Arrestors that are even used in a Landline Terminal Box.
A Surge Arrester is a device to protect electrical equipment from over-voltage transients caused by external (lightning) or internal (switching) events. Also called a surge protection device (SPD) or transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS),
Line-Filter - A special class of capacitor is used in power-line (mains) filters. Line filtering is a very tough application for a capacitor.
Achieving EMC for Dc-Dc Convertors - DC-DC converters, whether they be an off the shelf brick design or a discrete equivalent, are a source of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). EMI is unwanted electromagnetic energy that propagates by radiation and conduction over system signal and power lines.
