voltage.
THEORY : Impulse voltage is of two types one is lightning impulse voltage and switching
impulse voltage. Lightning Impulse is a natural phenomenon and switching impulse is man made.
Impulse waves are defined by their tail time or fall time (50% of peak voltage) and rise or front
time (at peak voltage). Rise and fall time for lightning impulse are 1.2us and 50us & for switching
In this we will generate lightning impulse voltage by using modern Marx circuit. Marx circuit
is used for testing the high voltage electrical equipments . DC source of 230V is supplied as input
to the circuit through rectifier circuit(which is movable for providing both negative and positive

CONCLUSIONS:-
1) Discharging of the capacitor is done by adjusting the sphere gap.
2) It was seen that at the beginning the breakdown was occurring between the sphere
gap , which was placed in the upper side.
The test transformer is two stage cascade transformer
