What happens when my electronic device is struck by lightning?
如果我的電子裝置遭受雷擊，會有何後果？
The damage sustained from lightning depends on whether the strike is direct or indirect. A direct lightning strike may cause significant structural damage and result in the device catching fire. Indirect lightning strikes occur when the energetic current from a strike point travels through the ground to a nearby device. While not nearly as severe as a direct lightning strike, indirect strikes can cause major damage to devices if that are not connected to a surge protector.
雷擊構成何種損害，視乎裝置被直接抑或間接擊中而定： 直接雷擊可導致結構嚴重損壞，並令裝置著火； 如來自雷擊點的高能電流穿過地面，擊中附近裝置，就會出現間接雷擊現象。 間接雷擊雖未如直接雷擊那般嚴重，但若裝置未連接電湧保護器，間接雷擊就可能會對裝置造成重大損壞。
