Analysis of transient voltases in networks

IMPORTANT contributions on transient phenomena have appeared in the technical literature during the past two decades. Circuit analysis has contributed materially to the present-day knowledge resulting from studies of the following major engineering problems:^1–6 transient voltages in transformer, generator, and other apparatus windings due to surges originating from lightning; traveling waves and switching phenomena on lines and cables; recovery voltages across terminals of circuit breakers and protective devices as affected by the circuit; response of devices and circuits in measuring voltages and currents applied in impulse and short-circuit testing; and others.
