Working Principle
The system generates controlled high-current pulses representing different stages of a lightning strike.
A Component simulates the initial high-energy lightning stroke with a fast rise time and large peak current.
D Component represents subsequent high-current pulses with shorter peak times but significant energy impact.
These waveforms are applied to test objects to evaluate their resistance to lightning-induced electrical and thermal stress.
