Electrical testing uses the term " combined surge voltage ," which may also be referred to as "combined wave surge voltage," to refer to the composite waveform that is formed when a surge event takes place. This waveform may also be thought of as "mixed wave surge voltage." In the context of an electrical system, the term "surge event" refers to a rise in voltage or current that lasts for just a limited amount of time. Lightning strikes and the switching of power sources are two examples of the kinds of occurrences that might cause surges. The act of merging several surge waves into a single waveform is referred to as "combined surge voltage," and the phrase "combined surge voltage" refers to the resulting waveform. There is a possibility that both common mode and differential mode surges are included in these. Common mode surges are characterized by voltage waveforms that are equal and in the same phase on two conductors, w
