Conventional approachConventional approach: Protection margin must be : Protection margin must be sufficient sufficient
Statistical approach:Statistical approach: - Overvoltage distribution: the - Overvoltage distribution: the stressstress
- Insulation breakdown probability: - Insulation breakdown probability: the the strengthstrength..
