Abstract
During the summer of 1929 studies were made to determine the characteristics of voltage transients set up on transmission lines by lightning. A cathode ray oscillograph and a number of surge voltage recorders were connected to a 140-kv. transmission line in such a manner that lightning disturbances were recorded by the instruments. This paper describes the equipment used, and presents the results obtained from the season´s investigations.
