Abstract :
A technique is presented for the generation of short-tailed lightning impulses with an acceptable degree of efficiency for use in power system protection studies. The method consists in connecting an in-air inductance in series with the tail resistance in one of the standard configurations of the Marx circuit. The validity of the solution has been ascertained experimentally, and a criterion is provided for the analytical determination of the most suitable value of this parameter
