It can be of two types: transient and permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Transient surges are very short-lived increases in voltage measured between two conductors or between a conductor and the ground. It may be due to atmospheric electrical discharges (lightning) or switching processes or breakdowns (ground contact or short circuits).<\/p>\n<p>Permanent, temporary or maintained <a href=\"https:\/\/lightningprotection-at3w.com\/products\/surge-protection\/s2xat2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">surges<\/a> are voltage increases above 20 percent of the nominal value of the electrical network that are maintained for several cycles or permanently. They are caused by a phase imbalance normally originated by neutral breakage, faults in the neutral conductor connection or faults in the transformer centers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28079 img-responsive img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/at3w.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/19_11_13-Nueva-guia-de-proteccion-contra-sobretensiones_660x406_ES.jpg\" alt=\"guia proteccion sobretensiones permanentes transitorias surge surtensiones overvoltages\" width=\"661\" height=\"407\" \/>Power, telephone, television or data lines often travel long distances outside any protected environment and connect to very sensitive devices.
