3.2 Static discharges
(ESD: Electrostatic discharge)
Electrostatic discharges are caused friction.2.2 Types surge voltages
Transient, temporary and permanent surge voltages
represent the three primary types surge voltages.1.1. The voltage exceeds the maximum permissible
nominal voltage, electronic devices are damaged and
installed surge protection devices cannot protect
against these long-lasting mains frequencies. motors, ballasts and industri-
al loads.2.2 Temporary and permanent surge voltages
Temporary, transient, surge voltages occur due to
faults the mains power supply.2.
3. Lightning and switching
operations generate large transient surges that can be
prevented with surge protection devices. These surge
voltages simulate surge currents (8/20
μs)
