Can you turn off an appliance at the breaker box to protect against lightning?
Yes and no. This answer depends mostly on the path that lightning will take through your home when it hits. Probably the best way to explain this is that your electrical wiring in your home is like a big net, all interconnected by your electrical panel. When everything is connected the breakers can act as barriers to electrical surges, but they may not be totally effective as they usually need a fraction of a second to pop. Arc fault protected and ground fault protected breakers are faster and more sensitive so they will protect circuits better but they are not recommended for all of your appliances. The good news is that electricity takes the path of least resistance so once it hits your panel, if its grounded properly (and it should be), the electricity will go to your ground, away from the house. If the electricity hits a circuit of your house that is connected to your appliance, it may damage your appliance. The best thing is for your appliance to REMAIN connected to the panel so that the grounding can direct the path of the electricity away from your appliance. On the other hand, if it hits another part of the house and the appliance is isolated, it could protect it even more just by not being hooked to the net at the time. In the end, stay away from your panel during a storm. You will be safer and your insurance company will ask fewer questions. They may not cover your loss if you turned the breaker off and damage occurred.
