Voltage Regulator Lightning Arrestors
(OP)
Is there any data on sizing the lightning arrestors used on voltage regulators, normally connected source to load?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Voltage Regulator Lightning Arrestors
If you had a 7200 V regulator, the series winding would normally see 720 V at most (i.e., 10%), so a low voltage arrester of 750 V or more would work.
You'd still have a 9 or 10 kV arrester at the terminals, but you'd also have one for the series winding.
