The term «transient» denotes impulsive spikes picked up by electric circuits and encountered in conducted form<br />

on power supply cables and at control and signal inputs of electrical or electronic equipment.<br />

Characteristics of standardised transients (IEC 1000-4-4 type)<br />

The significant features of these disturbances are as follows:<br />

- Very short duration of pulse rise time 5 ms<br />

- Pulse duration 50 ms<br />

- Repetitive phenomenon: pulse bursts for roughly 15 ms<br />

- Repetition frequency : successive bursts roughly every 300 ms<br />

- Low energy pulses 1-10 -3 joule<br />

- High amplitude of overvoltage ≤ 4 kV<br />
