Claim Text:
1. A method of suppressing a subtransient current and an overvoltage in a power system, comprising: identifying, by a subtransient current detector, the subtransient current at a location in the power system, wherein the power system is on an aircraft; directing, by a subtransient current suppressor, the subtransient current at the location in the power system to ground for a time delay in response to identifying the subtransient current at the location in the power system; ceasing directing the subtransient current at the location in the power system to ground in response to identifying an end of the time delay; identifying, by an overvoltage transient detector, the overvoltage at the location in the power system; and suppressing, by an overvoltage transient suppressor configure to perform one or more of creating a short at the location or electrically isolating a portion of the power system, the overvoltage at the location in the power system in response to identifying the overvoltage at the location in the power system.
