Abstract :
The electric utility industry for a number of years has been investigating the problem of overvoltages caused by switching surges. Valuable and necessary to these investigations are firsthand reports from operating utilities. An experience of the Pennsylvania Power & Light Co., involving damage which occurred during switching on a 220-kv system, is described.
