Hi George:
Take a look at IEEE standard C62.41 ('Recommended Practice on Surge Voltages in
Low-Voltage AC Power Circuits'). It has summaries of transient voltage surveys
done by other people around the world.
Other portions of the standard suggest specific types of surge tests & test
levels. These are based on geographic location, as well as location on the
premises (equipment connected deep within a building, connected near the main
circuit breaker box, or connected near the utility power pole.)
Note - it doesn't talk about equipment malfunction, just about the types of
transient voltages recorded.
