Intelligent Control System of Impulse Voltage Generator

Abstract: The paper presents the design of the intelligent control system for the impulse voltage generator and introduces the software developed to perform the function. By this means, the impulse test can be carried out automatically.      

Key words: Impulse voltage, micro-computer control, test 

1. Introduction

The impulse voltage test system is composed of impulse voltage generator, charging power supply, test object, measuring system and control system etc. Among all parts, the control system is the core of the whole impulse voltage test system. The traditional console is made of hardware circuits with different functions and controlled manually. Therefore, the volume of console is large and the precision is low; functions are limited and it is difficult to extend functions. Controlling by the computer is far higher than manual control; separated elements replaced by the micro-computer largely reduces the system error and equipment fault rate; the test procedure, data treatment and printing and output of test result are done automatically by the computer. All in all, the micro-computer system can realize the intelligent control of impulse voltage test.
