This paper presents a portable high voltage impulse generator which was designed and built with insulation up to 20 kV. This design was based on previous work in which simulation software for standard waves was developed. 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 industry and laboratories are usually expensive; they are built to with stand extra high voltage and they are big, making them impossible to transport. The proposed generator is portable, thereby allowing tests to be made on devices that cannot be moved from their location. The results obtained with the proposed impulse generator were satisfactory in terms of time and wave forms compared to other commercial impulse generators and the standard impulse wave simulator.
En este trabajo se presenta un generador portátil de impulsos de tensión, diseñado y construido con un aislamiento hasta para 20 kV. El diseño fue basado en un trabajo previo en el cual se desarrolla un software de simulación implementado exclusivamente para ondas de impulso normalizadas. Los componentes empleados fueron en su totalidad de bajo presupuesto, comerciales y algunos generalmente no son usados en alta tensión. Con el generador de impulsos se obtuvieron resultados satisfactorios en cuanto a tiempos y formas de onda, comparados con otros generadores de impulsos comerciales y el simulador de ondas de impulso normalizadas. Los generadores de impulso utilizados en la industria y laboratorios eléctricos son normalmente de gran tamaño, costosos y fabricados para soportar trabajos en extra alta tensión, ocupando demasiado espacio e imposibilitando su transporte. De ahí la importancia de este proyecto, pues siendo portátil facilita realizar pruebas en elementos que no se puedan desplazar de su ubicación.
