Özet

8/20 mu s lightning pulse current generators (LPCG) used in testing surge arresters require a laborious production process that needs a high budget. An easily repairable, portable, and affordable test system with a maximum energy of 2.9 kJ and a voltage level of 24 kV that can alter its parameter values was described in this work. Simulation and experimental studies were carried out to investigate the effects of the resistor and coil elements in the Pulse Current Generator (PCG) circuit on the amplitude, front, and tail time of the pulse current. Most components of the experimental system were created using 3D printing technology with polylactic acid (PLA) material. The production costs were significantly reduced, according to equivalent pulse generators. Tests at different pulse currents and voltage levels were performed with the experimental system. Power capacitors may often fail due to overvoltage, switching, and partial discharge reasons. The high voltage (HV) power capacitors used in the pulse generator introduced in the study were obtained with the help of low voltage capacitor stacks. As a result, a less expensive, high-capacity capacitor system that is easily and quickly repairable in case of failure was achieved.
