10-KV PULSE GENERATOR. PULSE TEST ON AUTODIN FILTER DEMONSTRATES GENERATOR CAPABILITY.

Abstract

This report describes a newly developed pulse voltage generator which provides up to 10 kv of 2-, 10-, and 100-microsecond pulse voltage. These pulses can be superimposed at any phase angle on the base 60-Hertz power provided to operate the test item. Tests with this generator make feasible a more accurate determination of the pulse response behavior of test items under operational conditions because pulse testing is performed with the test item fully energized. To illustrate the type of information obtainable, test data on a radio-frequency interference suppressing AUTODIN power line filter is presented. It was found (1) that this type of filter develops high-frequency oscillatory voltages at the output when the input 60-Hertz power contains a pulse voltage; (2) these oscillatory voltages could be suppressed by placing capacitance across the filter input and output; and (3) filters can be designed to be free of high-frequency oscillatory voltages.
