The Impulse Generator and Its Uses [includes discussion]

DURING THE PAST 30 years improved design and insulation techniques have approximately doubled the impulse strength of high-voltage power transformers. The impulse generator has played an important role in this development. The purpose of this article is to discuss the principal uses of the impulse generator as related to the manufacture of transformers. These uses may be divided into two categories: fundamental study and verification and quality control.
