High Voltage Pulse Testing Survey.

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to lay the technical groundwork necessary to establish new guidelines for high voltage pulse testing waveform parameters, test requirements, test procedures and test limits with respect to insulation characteristics in advanced, high power airborne components. This work has been initiated via this survey which reviews government, industrial and technical society literature concerning impulse and/or pulse testing of military, commercial, and experimental equipment. The survey details the test pulse rise time, dwell time, fall time, and peak voltage applied to evaluate the insulation systems typically found in electrical/electronic aerospace components. Based on the survey findings, a complete specification for a suitable pulse testing apparatus to accomplish such tests is provided as Appendix. Keywords include: High Voltage, Pulse Testing, Insulation, Impulse, and Breakdown Strength.
