Impulse Current Generation - HV

The document discusses impulse current generation. It describes the basic circuit which includes a DC charging unit, high value capacitors with low self-inductance, an air cored inductor, shunts and an oscillograph for measurement, and a triggering unit. It also discusses two types of impulse current waveforms, including the IEC standard waveform, and how high impulse currents can be generated by discharging a pre-charged pulse network or cable capable of producing rectangular current pulses of several hundred amperes for up to 5 milliseconds.

Generation of High Impulse Currents
The essential parts of an impulse current generator are:
• a d.c. charging unit giving a variable voltage to the capacitor bank

• capacitors of high value (0.5 to 5 μF) each with very low self-inductance, capable of
giving high short circuit currents,
• an additional air cored inductor of high current value,

• proper shunts and oscillograph for measurement purposes, and

• a triggering unit and spark gap for the initiation of the current generator.

Current Generation
Rectangular Pulse
• Generation of rectangular current pulses of high magnitudes (few
hundred amperes and duration up to 5 ms) can be done by discharging
a pulse network or cable previously charged
