PowerETA
Electromagnetic Transient Analysis
About ETA
Power systems are subjected to overvoltages that may be This picture shows simulated
of transient or of persistent nature. Most prominent and transient overvoltages at a
generator bus for a L-L-L-G fault
common types of overvoltages are
at a load
Ÿ Over voltages having atmospheric origin
Ÿ Overvoltages generated due to internal causes within
the power system
The overvoltages of atmospheric or external origin are known
as "Impulse overvoltages" and those of internal origin are
called "Switching overvoltages" or "Temporary overvoltages".
These Overvoltages will stress the insulation of the power
system equipment beyond safe limits. This leads to equipment
failure. Hence it is essential to study overvoltage phenomenon
in the power system and their effects on the system.

The transient phenomenon occur on a scale of microseconds

(e.g., initial transient recovery voltage), milliseconds (e.g.,
switching surges), or cycles (e.g. Ferro-resonance). The
system must be designed to withstand these over voltages
with a certain probability, or their effects must be reduced and Highlights
limited with protective devices. The simulation of transient Ÿ Transient and dynamic over voltage studies
phenomenon is therefore very important for proper insulation
co-ordination, as well as for the proper design of protection
