Abstract: Transients are momentary changes in voltage that occur over a short period of time in a system. Transients negatively affect electrical equipment and are introduced into a system in a variety of ways. Transient occurrences cannot be completely avoided but there are ways to minimize their effects. Common threats include electrostatic discharge (ESD), cable discharge (CDE), electrical fast transients (EFT) and lightning surges in the environment. It is important to protect equipment from transients because prolonged exposure can lead to damaged equipment, loss of or incorrect data, operating failures and other safety concerns. Lightning surges are the easiest type of transient exposure to trace but lower energy transients are more frequent and harder to spot.
