Generator of strong synchronous current pulses on parallel outputs

摘要

A generator for producing strong synchronous current pulses on parallel outputs comprises a high voltage stage, a group of N identical modules and a triggering control means. Each module comprises a storage capacitor charged by the high voltage stage and the triggering control means controls the modules, so that they emit synchronous current pulses. Application to the simulation of strong current pulses injected into a polyphase electrical mains by powerful electromagnetic disturbances and interferences, such as lightning.
