A high-voltage device (100) is provided that comprises a conducting element (121; 122; 123) for conducting high-voltage current and at least one transient reducing unit (130) for reducing voltage peaks of existing propagating very fast transients by the generation of arcing, the transient reducing unit having at least one arcing occurrence surface (131; 131a; 131b; 131c). The at least one arcing occurrence surface of the at least one transient reducing unit is positioned in the vicinity of the conducting element such that arcing occurs between the transient reducing unit and the conducting element when the potential difference between the transient reducing unit and the transient conducting element is above a threshold value, namely at the occurrence of a very fast transient. Further, a method is provided for equipping a high-voltage device with the transient reduction unit. |
