An Analytic Study of the Charging Characteristics of Marx Surge Generator circuits

CARL SHERWOOD ROYS, Purdue University

Abstract

The rapid increase during recent years in the amounts of power that must be transmitted over greater and greater distances has required the adoption of correspondingly higher transmission line voltages. As a result, the effects of lightning and switching surges upon system insulation, and its protection. therefyon, has demanded more serious consideration. This has resulted in the establishment of high voltage laboratories where conditions in the field can be simulated at will and the effects of surges can be observed and analysed.
