Key Points
Electrical systems and devices
are designed to work within an
acceptable variance of nominal
voltage. Power surges are additive or
subtractive overvoltages that exceed
this range.
Understanding the effects of power
transients is complicated because
of the way different coupling
mechanisms can overlap to create
damaging transients.
Power surges in electronic
equipment and components can
cause operational disruptions,
equipment degradation, or total
destruction.
