Load dump means the disconnection of a powered load. It can cause two problems: * failure of supply to equipment or customers * large voltage spikes from the inductive generator(s) In automotive electronics, it refers to the disconnection of the vehicle battery from the alternator while the battery is being charged. Due to such a disconnection of the battery, other loads connected to the alternator experience a surge in the voltage on the battery bus. This surge may be as high as 120 volts and the surge may take up to 400 ms to decay. It is typically clamped to 40 V in 12 V vehicles and about 60 V in 24 V systems.
