Potential Hazards of Transient Overvoltages in an Industrial DC Grid and Basic Protective Measures Borcherding, Holger Austermann, Johann Puls, Simon Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers drive inverters DC grid overvoltage protection DC grid faults This article highlights the special electrical properties of an industrial DC grid and compares it with other typical DC grids. In this article, the extent of transient overvoltages is presented, which must be assumed to be caused by grid faults and switching operations. Basic measures for the protection of devices are listed and evaluated. The article clarifies that basic protection is necessary for the reliable operation of devices in industrial DC grids, but is easy to implement.
