Tripping of Impulse Generators

Tripping of Impulse Generator: In large impulse generator, the spark gaps are generally sphere gaps or gaps formed by hemispherical electrodes. The gaps are arranged such that sparking of one gap results in automatic sparking of other gaps as overvoltage is impressed on the other. In order to have consistency in sparking, irradiation from an

Generation of Impulse Current Generator Output Waveform

Generation of Impulse Current Generator Output Waveform: Lightning discharges involve both high voltage impulses and high current impulses on transmission lines. Protective gear like surge diverters have to discharge the lightning currents without damage. Therefore, Generation of Impulse Current Generator Output Waveform of high magnitude ( ≈ 100 kA peak) find application in test work

Electrostatic Generators

Electrostatic Generators: Van de Graaff generators are essentially high voltage but low power devices, and their power rating seldom exceeds few tens of kilowatts. As such Electrostatic Generators machine which effectively convert mechanical energy into electrical energy using variable capacitor principle were developed. These are essentially duals of electromagnetic machines and are constant voltage variable

Booster Generator

Booster Generator: A Booster Generator is a D.C. generator whose function is to inject or add certain voltage into a circuit so as to compensate the IR drop in the feeders etc. A Booster Generatorr is essentially a series d.c. gen­erator of large current capacity and is con­nected in series with the feeder whose voltage
