I noticed the following bibliographies available from the NTIS in a recent 
issue of the Government Reports Index.  These bibliographies may be ordered
from the National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA.

PB87-865333/GAR   Aug. 87, 104p   Supercedes PB86-865367   PC N01/MF N01
Telecommunication Equipment: Atmospheric Discharge Protection.  January 1975 -
August 1987 (Citations from the INSPEC: Information Services for the Physics
and Engineering Communities Database).

"This bibliography contains citations concerning the effects of atmospheric 
discharge on telecommunications installations.  Lightning protection design
methods for telecommunications equipment employing solid-state devices are
emphasized.  Travelling wave phenomenon and resulting overvoltage are con-
sidered showing protection circuitry.  The operation of lightning arresters
and protection of overhead cable lines are included.  [This bibliography
contains 222 citations, 35 of which are new entries to the previous edition.]"


PB87-865846/GAR   Aug. 87, 117p   Supercedes PB86-872801   PC N01/MF N01
Lightning, Surge, and Transient Protection.  December 1982 - August 1987
(Citations from the NTIS Database).

"This bibliography contains citations concerning techniques and devices for the
protection of electronic and electrical equipment from lightning and electrical
surges, and data and protective devices for lightning strikes on structures,
ships, and aircraft.  The citations include research on suppressors, limiters,
lightning arrestors, electromagnetic pulse protection devices, and overvoltage
protection networks.  Excluded are references to electromagnetic shielding.
[This updated bibliography contains 221 citations, 41 of which are new entries
to the previous edition.]"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I hope these save you some grief.  73!
