- Well, the lightning season is here again in Minnesota. What more can I do to
- protect my equipment against lightning strikes on the power lines? (This time
- it took out a keyboard, fried the 8052AH controller, and the TV for the 2nd
- time in 1 year). I have both the computer and TV on surge supressors (well,
- the cheapo things with the 3 MOVs in them), and the computer system is totally
- grounded as well with heavy duty copper cable to the water pipe.
-
- Should I move up to more expensive surge supressors? Or what more can be done
- with the wiring in the house? The wiring is well grounded...
