Abstract :
The production of the lightning impulse current is very important for research and Standard quality control tests. Conduction of IEC standard type tests on metal-oxide high voltage surge arresters needs a lightning impulse current generator system that is able to produce both lightning impulse current and simultaneous several kV residual voltage. This paper describes the design and manufacturing of a one million volt residual voltage, 10 kA lightning current generator system and the innovation in design of an integrated high voltage air core reactor. Experimental laboratory tests show the good performance of the manufactured generator and its capability to perform standard type test on metal-oxide high voltage surge arresters.
