Abstract
In order to reduce rail potential on default conditions, Voltage Limiting Devices can be used to implement additional earthing point which would temporarily ground the rail when high rail potential appears. In this work, we use modelling to assert their efficiency, optimize their positioning and verify their ability to support default current.
