High voltage impulse generator study and design / Mohd. Khaider Mohd. Yusoff and Shamsudin Salleh

In the field of high voltage transmission, a wide range of equipments such as transformers, capacitors, resistors, cables, string insulator etc. are used for transmitting of power. As we know, lightning can cause very steep build-up of voltage in the form of travelling waves and this can effect the performance of such equipments. In order to study the effect of lightning, we must first simulate the stresses created by lightning for research work in laboratories. In this project, studies and design are conducted to developed a high-voltage impulse generator to simulate stresses created by lightning.
