Experts warn of some models that the population should be extra attention with the physical structure in these moments of turbulence
Home appliances are devices that can be an imminent danger and you always need to pay attention, especially in times of rain and storms.
But what few know is that you need to be extra careful with some specific devices, especially if they are connected to the socket.
Experts warn: Some devices are more vulnerable to damage caused by electrical discharges, being necessary to take due care and attention with their operation.
3 appliances you should always take from during storms
1. TVs
The first appliance to withdraw from during rain or storms is the TV.
Present in several Brazilian homes, he is a must at home. What a lot of people forget is that it is necessary to remove the TV from the socket, because the rays generate voltage peaks that travel through the mains and reach the transmission lines or antennas. Thus, this heavy overload can burn sensitive components within the devices, such as plates, LEDs and connectors.
2. Desktop computer
The famous desk computer is also another dangerous appliance to keep connected on rainy days or strong storm.
It consumes up to 21 kWh per hour, even though it is turned on, and in moments of overload of the power grid, the discharges emit electromagnetic fields that create unwanted currents in the cables, burning all wiring or internal plates.
3. Notebooks
This other version of the desk computer, the notebook, even consumes up to 18 kWh just because it is connected. Thus, with the new technologies and implementation of LED lights in their structure, the cited consumer values go up a little more.
Therefore, the ideal is to connect these devices to the outlet only when using and immediately remove in cases of storms and very strong rains. It has great sensitivity to electrical variations and, in severe discharge cases, excess energy can burn signs, batteries and even the screen.
