Very-fast-front overvoltages  - Technical Challenge

• The presence of elements like transformers, cables, etc. in the circuit, and the configuration of the substation itself, may affect the voltage transient considerably.

• The behavior of most of network components is of capacitive nature and also short length conductors must be regarded as transmission line upon which voltage waves propagate with a given velocity.

• Many electrical components may exhibit a completely different behavior with respect to the normal behavior at power frequency.
