Abstract

The International Electrotechnical Commission issued in 2010 a revision of the standards IEC 60060, describing how to calculate amplitude and time parameters used to evaluate high voltage tail chopped lightning impulse waveforms. However, the need for a full reference lightning impulse, in addition to the tail chopped impulse, creates difficulties for the tests and processing of the waveforms. This paper proposes an alternative method that precludes the need for the reference impulse.
