Description
Summary:A surge is a transient electrical disturbance that is cause by lightning, switching operations of fault. Lightning may cause damage to equipment and electrical system. Lightning has their own characteristic such as strokes, speed and others. But nowadays, the research of lightning is focus on high voltage surge protective device. The project focus on single stage of High Voltage Impulse configuration which the voltage can be generated up to 2kV.By design and developing impulse voltage generator with triggering circuit, so that the electrical characteristic and performance of lightning in low voltage could be determine. This triggering circuit is purpose to create manually artificial lightning. By using this impulse generator equipment the low voltages study especially in lightning protection devices for building and electrical gadget could be done.
