What is a transient?
A temporary excess of voltage and/or current in an electrical circuit. Transients are short
duration events, typically lasting only a few thousandths of a second.
External Transients:
 |
Lightning:
- Strikes the United States 90 million times per year
- Causes 56 Billion dollars in property damage annually
- Responsible for over 30,000 building fires annually
- Causes 30% of all power outages
|
|
Utility Grid:
- Fluctuating Demand
- Utility Grid Switching
- Power Line Failure
- Falling Trees
- Ice
- Auto Accidents
|
Internal Transients:
Starting and stopping of elevators, motors, heating and air conditioning equipment and
manufacturing equipment.
80% of all transients are generated internally.
The best protection from both external and internal transients is the
installation of a surge protection program.
