 |
| cause |
| Lightning damage caused insulation breakdown in the windings of the coil
used in the computer's internal power supply. |
 |
| consideration |
| When a sudden, large current flows through the coil, a high voltage is generated across both ends of the winding. |
| important point |
| Coils that may be subject to external surges require some kind of overvoltage protection. |
| best way |
| For coils that may be subject to external surges, it is recommended to create a discharge gap, as shown in the photo below, using a board pattern. |
