A single stage impulse generator has the following data:
Waveshape: 1.0μs 50μs
Maximum impulse voltage: 180kV (peak)
Maximum stored energy: 1kWs
Voltage efficiency: 85%
Load capacitance: 1000pF
(1) Draw the basic circuit diagram of an impulse generator and indicate the function of the
different components.
Sketch the waveshape of a standard lightning impulse and indicate its characteristics.
Calculate the values necessary for the wave-front resistor Rₐ and wave-tail resistor Rᵦ
T= 2.96Rₐ((CₐCᵦ)/(Cₐ+Cᵦ), Tₜ= 0.73 Rᵦ(Cₐ+Cᵦ)
