Field Investigations of Lightning
TL;DR: In this paper, measurements have been made and statistical data obtained on the multiple character and wave shape of the currents in direct strokes and the currents discharged by lightning arresters, in conjunction with other data on the field performance of arrester performance.

Effects of Lightning Voltages on Rotating Machines and Methods of Protecting Against Them
F. D. Fielder,Edward Beck +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the normal distribution under various steepnesses of waves, and the improvement of unsatisfactory distributions by means of condensers or lightning arresters connected to various parts of the windings has been studied.

Lightning Protection for Rotating Machines
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and straightforward basis for machine protection which affords the increased protection and saving in installation cost and material that it was found possible to achieve was presented. But, in view of the statistical data that have been accumulated in extensive lightning investigations, and the appreciation of the value of the inherently low discharge voltage characteristics of the deion arrester, it has been considered desirable to study this problem further.
