Abstract:	This study is concerned with the overvoltages produced as a result of switching operations on composite feeders, this is when a circuit-breaker closes its contacts at the peak values of the applied voltage. Line-cable feeders are considered in the study. The means by which such overvoltages can be reduced are also included. Also, the effects of system parameters and factors on the initial voltage applied and accompanied overvoltages are covered.
