Voltage surges are described in the MIL-STD-1275E documentation. In the section on voltage surges, two different voltage surge events are described that can occur during vehicle operation: injected and emitted voltage surges. However, for this reference design only the injected voltage surges pertain to the protection circuit.
The injected voltage surge is a 100-V surge that has a total energy content of 60 J. These injected voltage surge events typically occur during motor events, such as the main turret turning, which is then seen by any accessory that is connected to the 28-V bus.
