EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING STRIKE Destruction Voltage breakdown of semiconductor transitions Destruction of the bond wire connections of components Destruction of conductor paths or connections of printed circuit boards Destruction of triacs or thyristors by too high dV/dt-values. Operational faults Undefined operation of logic gates, thyristors and triacs Deletion of memory contents Program errors or crashes Data and transmission errors Premature aging Components that are exposed to overvoltages have a shorter service life. (Damages and costs caused by overvoltages) (Damage caused by overvoltage)
