Course Description
Transients are high distortions in the voltage shape in a very short time interval. Transients can occur due to short circuits in the grid, switching events or lightning. As a result, transients could damage devices with process failure or complete outage of a production line. In the course transients, the phenomenon transients is thoroughly explained, causes of transients are introduced, problems that may occur and possible solutions are described. Furthermore, several case studies are included to explain the phenomenon transients in a practical manner.
