What do you want one for in a domestic house? How do you connect them up?

I know that there is a statement in the

regs about the number of lightning days

per year in the section on these devices

but it only has to happen once.

There was a strike around me some years

ago and Oh Boy, did it do some damage.

The directly affected house had all connected

equipment taken out, even those that were

not turned on at the socket.

Other houses in the area were also affected

and my office PC was also taken out. It

was a write-off.
