jännitepiikkeihin
Jännitepiikkeihin, often translated as voltage spikes or transients, are sudden, short-lived increases in electrical voltage. These disturbances can occur in electrical systems and are typically much higher than the normal operating voltage. Jännitepiikkeihin can be caused by various factors. Lightning strikes are a significant natural cause, inducing massive voltage surges in power lines and connected equipment. Man-made sources include the switching of heavy electrical loads, such as industrial motors or large appliances, which can generate inductive kickback. Power system switching operations, like the connection or disconnection of substations, can also create transients.
The effects of jännitepiikkeihin can range from negligible to severe. Minor spikes might go unnoticed, but
To mitigate the risks associated with jännitepiikkeihin, various protection measures are employed. Surge protectors, also known
