Bibliography on the surge performance of transformers and rotating machines

This bibliography presents references to significant literature referring to the surge performance of transformer windings and rotating machines. Because of the importance of and continuing interest in this subject, the effort has been made to include all material published from the beginnings of the art to 1957 inclusive. Thus a total of 934 references are given, which are distributed chronologically as shown in Table I. It is clear that activity in this area is continuing at a high rate since the end of World War II. These references are from more than 100 periodicals, published in 23 countries. The international character of research in this field, due to the fact that lightning and switching surges are about the same all over the world, is therefore evident. For instance, the 137 references listed from 1955 through 1957 pertain to the following countries: United States, 10%; Italy, Switzerland, and Czechoslovakia, each 16%; Great Britian 11%; Germany and Poland, each 8%; Russia, 4%; Austria, 3%; Sweden and the Netherlands, each 2%; other countries, 4%.
