3.2 Principle of operation
Voltage surges can be caused by indirect atmospheric discharges
(lightning strokes) or switching operations in the supply network.
Further causes can be inductive or capacitive couplings from other
electrical systems. Voltage peaks (transients) must be expected
especially when long power supply and signal cables are used.
