Switchinduced is a rarely standardized adjective used in technical discourse to describe effects, artifacts, or phenomena that arise as a result of switching actions.

Because there is no single formal definition, the meaning of switchinduced can vary by discipline, but it generally refers to transient or secondary effects triggered by switching.
In electronics, switchinduced effects describe transients and disturbances caused when a switch opens or closes in
In computing and digital systems, switchinduced phenomena may describe overhead or artifacts that occur due to
In measurement, instrumentation, and mechanical devices, switchinduced wear refers to material degradation from arcing or contact
