Specialized generators used in research laboratories often provide a wide range of waveform adjustments and advanced diagnostic capabilities. They are employed for insulation studies, material research, and the development of new high-voltage technologies.
Hybrid Impulse Generator
Hybrid systems can generate multiple types of impulse waveforms, such as lightning impulses, switching impulses, and chopped impulses, within a single platform. They offer greater versatility for comprehensive high-voltage testing programs.
Applications of Lightning Impulse Voltage Generator
In the power grid industry, lightning impulse voltage generators are used to test the insulation performance of transformers, circuit breakers, insulators, and other high - voltage equipment. By subjecting these components to simulated lightning impulses, engineers can detect potential insulation defects and ensure their reliability under extreme conditions.
Electrical equipment manufacturers use lightning impulse voltage generators to test the quality and performance of their products during the production process. This helps to ensure that the products meet the relevant international and national standards and can withstand the effects of lightning strikes in real - world applications.
In research institutions and universities, lightning impulse voltage generators are used for scientific research and development. They are used to study the electrical breakdown characteristics of different materials, develop new insulation materials, and improve the design of high - voltage equipment.
☆High-voltage DC power supply: Provide charging voltage for the capacitor bank. Usually a rectifier circuit or a high-voltage generator is used, and the output voltage can reach tens of kilovolts to hundreds of kilovolts.
☆Capacitor bank: Used to store electrical energy. The capacity and number of capacitors determine the output energy of the generator.
★Wavefront resistor (Rf) and wavetail resistor (Rt):
☆Wavefront resistor (Rf): Controls the rise time (wavefront time) of the waveform.
☆Wavetail resistor (Rt): Controls the fall time (wavetail time) of the waveform. By adjusting these two resistors, a lightning impulse waveform that meets the standard can be generated.
☆Trigger device: Controls the discharge time of the capacitor bank. Spark gaps or electronic switches are usually used to achieve fast discharge.
☆Measurement system: Includes a voltage divider and an oscilloscope to measure and record the output voltage waveform.

Working Principle of Lightning Impulse Voltage Generator
Charging stage
Use high-voltage DC power supply to charge the capacitor bank and store electrical energy.
Discharging stage
Control the discharge of the capacitor bank through the trigger device, and form a standard lightning impulse waveform through the wave front resistor and wave tail resistor.
Testing Methods and Steps of Lightning Impulse Voltage Generator
Preparation stage
Before conducting the test, a detailed inspection should be carried out on the equipment under test to ensure that it is in good condition. At the same time, the testing environment should meet the requirements of relevant standards to avoid interference from external factors.
Parameter setting
According to the rated voltage and application environment of the equipment, set the amplitude, rise time, and duration of the impulse voltage. The selection of these parameters directly affects the reliability of the test results.
Applying the impulse voltage
Through the impulse voltage generator, apply the set voltage to the equipment. During this process, the response of the equipment needs to be monitored in real time, and the changes in voltage and current should be recorded.
Result analysis
After the test is completed, the data needs to be analyzed to determine whether the equipment has experienced breakdown or other failure phenomena under the impulse voltage. At the same time, the recovery ability and subsequent performance of the equipment also need to be evaluated.
