Data record std.ieee-1159.structure.transient-characteristics

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

Clause 4.4.1.3 of IEEE 1159-2019 adds the characteristics that help trace the source of a transient: its direction relative to the sine wave, and whether it is unipolar, bipolar, oscillatory, arcing, multiple zero crossing, periodic notching or a capacitor switching transient, together with a note on the difficulty of computing transient energy.
