    Transient Over Voltages

    Uploaded by

    Asanka Rodrigo
    Overvoltage can be caused by external factors like lightning or internal factors within the power system. There are two main types of internal overvoltage: switching overvoltage caused by changes during operations like energizing lines, and temporary overvoltage caused by switching surges. Switching surges have become the dominant design factor for insulation in extra-high and ultra-high voltage systems, while lightning overvoltages are a secondary concern for two reasons - their magnitude does not increase significantly with system voltage, and they have lower breakdown strength than switching surges.
