A new approach to the selection of insertion resistance to control switching overvoltages
Narayan S. Rau · IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems · 1975
The minimization of an index of performance expressed as a measure of overvoltage has been shown to yield time vs resistance curves for optimal insertion resistance. The random pole closure on any part of the voltage wave has also been considered and the solution of the resulting Min-Max problem offers the "best" insertion resistor for the control of switching overvoltages.
