Abstract
This paper reports 10 kV to 100 kV high voltage impulse generator. Generation of variable outputs impulse generator can be designed by combination of flyback transformer and Marx generator which can produce different high voltages. It is a portable device for field. The experimental final results have been taken by using spark gap measurements and voltage divider technique. This high voltage lightning impulse generator produces standard T1/T2 waveshape impulses. The testing of protection devices such as SPD (surge protection device) is extremely important to find out whether these devices can operate in standard conditions or not. That’s why the high voltage lightning impulse generator is developed for such testing. Similarly, our research work consists of modeling and practical design of a 100 kV impulse generator.
Highlights
Lightning is a natural phenomenon which behaves very erratically
There are a lot of devices available in market which is used for protection against of lightning strikes
To design and fabricate a high voltage lightning impulse generator many techniques and methods are used such as voltage doubler, Cockcroft Walton’s voltage multiplier and Tesla coil etc
Summary
Lightning is a natural phenomenon which behaves very erratically. Natural lightning originates due to partition of electrical negative and positive charges by processes in atmospheric. When the charge gets increase in numbers, air medium between the negative and positive areas breaks down in form of a massive spark, or a charged area breaks down to surface of ground (cloud to ground stroke) [1]. It is commonly accepted by the engineering that lightning is one of the considerable causes of failure in electric power system. It could spoil many significant components of any power system. Lightning protection appliances are buildup to switch the lightning strikes to ground so that any power system is
