during what is, in comparison to the time scale being
observed, a short period of time between two consecutive
stationary conditions

Three types of damage caused by surges
•Destructive
•Dissipative
•Disruptive
33 / Name / 01/08/01
Destructive: SYMPTOMS: Very visible damage: burnt boards,
traces and components. Some components literally
blown off the board. Wire insulation melted and
metallic parts deformed.
Destructive effects are generally associated with
severe impulse (lightning activity). These effects are
rare depending upon geographic location and
environmental conditions.
34 / Name / 01/08/01
Dissipative: SYMPTOMS: Little or no visible damage, but
components will not function properly. “Bad ICs” is
usually the diagnosis.
Dissipative effects are the cumulative result of
electronic stress usually caused by internally
generated, lower energy, but are constantly present.
Destructive: SYMPTOMS: Very visible damage: burnt boards,
traces and components. Some components literally
blown off the board. Wire insulation melted and
metallic parts deformed.
Destructive effects are generally associated with
severe impulse (lightning activity). These effects are
rare depending upon geographic location and
environmental conditions.
35 / Name / 01/08/01
Disruptive: SYMPTOMS: Confused logic, lost files, data stream
disruption and/or corruption, system lock-up.
Disruptive effects are common place to most computer
users but are generally blamed on software or
hardware problems.
Dissipative: SYMPTOMS: Little or no visible damage, but
components will not function properly. “Bad ICs” is
usually the diagnosis.
Dissipative effects are the cumulative result of
electronic stress usually caused by internally
generated, lower energy, but are constantly present.

The arrester must handle this surge current at least 20 times (connected to
the power mains) without significant change in protection level
The arrester must handle 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100 % of this surge
current at one time without significant change in protection level

Instrument Grounding Loops
Problem
• Instrument Loop Grounds are not suitable for conducting high
current transients.
• Instrument Loops provide a path for damaging transients.
• Instrument Loop Grounding Lead Wires are run long distances
and are usually small gauge.
Precaution
Proper Low Impedance Earth Grounding Techniques must be
employed when dealing with transients.
