My summer house had a brush with a lightning strike some 15 meters from the house. Main incoming fuses was pulverised. One can see how the kA moved on the garden surface (pic). Unfortunately my system was left on and one of my mono power amps was found with the following symptoms:

  • klicking noise every 2 seconds
  • 1,4 V DC on output
  • blue capacitor close to output blown (pic)

Anyone with repair knowledge of this specific product have any idea?


PS: Also a Didden Silentswitcher was put out of service :(

sorry, i can offer no help.

wow.
nice trench.
friend had a nearby strike too.
literally everything including the fuse box was destroyed.
didnt matter if it was turned on or not.
if it was plugged in or connected to the mains, is was destroyed.

high spikes can cause a lot of unseen damage that might not appear for years.
might be best to look for replacements rather than repairs.
