Surge protection for utility equipment previously concerned protection of the high voltage power frequency and low voltage supply or auxiliary equipment. With the proliferation of smart devices using data and communication channels, there are additional channels vulnerable to surges. This tutorial will discuss the available application guides for surge protection and present overviews of their content. New work will also be presented for guides that are in development.
