ELEC4612: Transients in power systems
Internal Transients:
switching operations (load break switches, circuit
breakers, disconnectors), short-circuit faults
cause of most power system transients.
External Transients:
overvoltage induced by lightning strikes in vicinity
of transmission lines
current surges due to direct lightning strikes on
line conductors.

Current chopping:
occur when CBs are interrupting small inductive
currents such as transformer magnetizing current.
current interrupted before natural current zero. As a
result, inductance still contains substantial stored
energy (which is zero at natural current zero).
Dissipation of this energy will cause an enhanced
and additional voltage transient at breaker
terminals.
incontrast to normal TRV, transient voltage due to
current chopping is not limited to a peak of 2Vm: it
can potentially be much higher.
