Nowadays, in the era of micro grid and smart grid, switching transients at low voltage level has gained its importance a lot. In this regard, random switching of the power equipment generates high switching transients. Subsequently, it may decrease the life of the power system equipment and switching device. Further, it deteriorates power quality of the supply. In addition, inclusion of the renewable energy sources enhances the frequency of the switching events due to its time based availability. Hence, it is required to pay attention about the switching transients at low voltage level.
