Abstract :
The model system and the test procedures are described. The tests revealed the most significant circuit parameters affecting the magnitude and distribution of currents that will flow in a customer´s wiring. The tests also showed that distribution transformers utilizing interlaced windings rated 240/120 volts are unlikely to increase significantly the magnitude of surges in comparison to noninterlaced windings of the same rating
