For example, a
break neutral cable can generate impermiss-

tem.2 Temporary and permanent surge voltages
Temporary, transient, surge voltages occur due to
faults the mains power supply.
3. Lightning and switching
operations generate large transient surges that can be
prevented with surge protection devices.

this charge separation. These surge
voltages simulate surge currents (8/20
μs).2 Static discharges
(ESD: Electrostatic discharge)
Electrostatic discharges are caused friction.
3. They are the most
common cause surge voltages.2.2.1 Switching operations
(SEMP: Switching electromagnetic pulse)
Switching operations occur due the switching of
large inductive and capacitive loads, short circuits and
interruptions the power system.2.
3.3 Planning methods
Part the lightning protection standard IEC 62305
describes how protect electrical and electronic sys-
tems. Only surge
arrestors can safely arrest these dangerous voltages.2.2.2 Types surge voltages
Transient, temporary and permanent surge voltages
represent the three primary types surge voltages.2. The safety and installation standards IEC 60364
additionally stipulate that surge voltage protection
measures are required important protective
measure low-voltage systems.1.1.
3. However,
it can interfere with and destroy electronic compon-
ents. When
a person walks carpet, charge separation occurs
– this instance, harmless humans. 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.TBS
