The authors consider lightning qualification testing which relies on a variety of pulse power generators to produce the waveforms necessary to assess the effects of lightning on aircraft and other aerospace systems. The waveforms necessary to produce the significant effects of natural lightning have been determined in airborne characterization programs and are specified in US Dept. of Defense and FAA standards. The authors review waveforms and the pulse power generators applied to lightning qualification testing in terms of their type and general characteristics. They examine full-scale severe-threat generators, scaled moderate-threat generators, and high-voltage generators, high-current generators, and miscellaneous generators.
