Anyone knows why my power trips even at the slightest lightning strike?
During one normal thunderstorm, it can trip for up to 5-10 times. My neighbour's power doesn't get tripped, while mine does.
Anyone can troubleshoot what component in the electrical system is faulty? It's very annoying when it trips when I'm doing something important on the computer. I want to fix this frequent tripping problem, I don't want to buy a UPS.
Thanks.

I think you misunderstood my problem, I strongly believe that there is a problem with the electrical system, causing the frequent power trips. Of course, I can just call an electrician over to take a look at it, but he has come here quite often and he did not mention anything about anything being faulty. So, I just want to get your thoughts on what could be wrong with the electrical system. As I've mentioned before, my neighbour's power doesn't trip when mine trips.
If I wanted to, I could go out and buy a UPS right now, but I want to get to the root of the problem. Buying a UPS, but still facing the frequent power trips is annoying. That is why I want to troubleshoot what is wrong with the electrical system first.

Thanks for the replies guys  Do you think that it's wise to ask my electrician to reduce the sensitivity?
