Transportable sets for simulating lightning current pulse component

摘要

The use of magnetic cumulative generators coupled with a device which provides multiplication of voltages arising under an electrical exploision of conductors made it possible to create transportable《field》 sets simulating the lighning currentpulse component with an amplitude up to 160 kA and pulse edges within the microsecond range. The sets have been tested under field loading, i.e. the sets have been installed directly at the locations of tested objects with all links, joints, connectionsand operating conditions inherent to them. Parameters of various loaded objects varied over a wide range: inductance of a loaded loop for a multiplier was from tens to hundreds microhenry and resistance varied from fractions of ohm to tens of ohm.
