ANSI/IEEE C62.41

ANSI/IEEE C62.41 is a standard that provides guidelines for protecting electrical equipment from power surges and transients caused by events like lightning or switching operations. It outlines how to identify, measure, and mitigate these voltage spikes to prevent damage or failures. Essentially, it helps engineers design safer electrical systems by understanding how surges occur and how to guard against them, ensuring reliability and longevity of electrical devices and infrastructure.
