Portable High Voltage Impulse Generator

This design is based on a previous work in which we developed a simulation software for standard waves. Commercial components and low-cost components were used in this work. However, these particular elements are not generally used for high voltage applications. The impulse generators used in the industry and laboratories are usually expensive, they are built to withstand extra high voltage, and they are big, making them impossible to transport. Otherwise, the proposed generator is portable, which allows to make test on devices that cannot be moved from its location. The results obtained with the proposed impulse generator were satisfactory in terms of time and waveforms, against other commercial impulse generators and against the standard impulse wave simulator.
