Understanding Voltage Swells in Power Quality by Sai Charan Chowdary is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Voltage swell is defined as an increase in voltage between 110-180% of nominal voltage lasting from half a cycle to one minute. It is the opposite of a voltage sag and can be caused by faults or the energization/deenergization of large loads. Voltage swells are categorized based on their magnitude and duration. While less common than sags, swells can be more destructive by causing equipment breakdown and failure over time due to overheating or damage to power supplies.
