This paper presents the work carried out by the IEEE Working Grou[ on field-measured overvoltages and their analysis for validating power system component models to be used in switching transients studies. The work uses measurement data obtained from field tests performed by Bonneville Power Administration in June 1995 where switching overvoltages were measured on one of its 230 kV lines. This paper includes a description of the switching tests and the main results derived from field measurements. Details of the switching procedures that were followed to calibrate component models used to match field-recorded waveforms can be found in the Part II paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
