Simulation of Impulse Voltage Generator and Impulse Testing of Insulator

Abstract. The main objectives of this work are of two folds: the first is the design of impulse voltage gen-erator and impulse testing of a standard disc type insulator experimentally. The second is the development of MATLAB Simulink model of the above mentioned experimental setup. Investigation shows that this soft-ware is very efficient in studying the effect of parameter changes in the design to obtain the desired impulse voltages and wave shapes from an impulse voltage generator for high voltage applications
