Switching surges
Switching surges can arise from various sources, e.
Induced surge voltages
Induced voltage peaks building installations and en-
ergy data supply cables can also reach many times
the nominal operating voltage and cause the immedi-
ate failure the systems. rule, switching surges amount to
twice three times the operating voltage.

When direct strike hits the external lightning protec-
tion system low-voltage exposed cable, this usu-
ally causes without internal lightning and surge pro-
tection damage the insulation and total outage of
the connected consumers. the

occur only after time delay they accelerate the

devices, causing them insidious damage.3 Effects surges
Energy-rich lightning currents often cause the instant-
aneous destruction unprotected systems.

The largest voltage peaks the low-voltage consumer
network are caused lightning discharges. Lightning
surges can sometimes reach 100 times the nominal
voltage value and transport high energy content.2. Permanent
surges caused impermissible conditions the
mains network are not considered transient surges.g.1 Transient surges
Transient surges are voltage increases lasting for a

according standards
For the purposes the risk analysis according to
IEC/EN 62305-2, lightning strikes are assigned one
of four possible “sources damage” (S1-S4). These de-
pend the exact cause and/or impact point the

Lightning surges can sometimes
reach 100 times the nominal
voltage value and contain high
