Abstract

This project aims to develop a surge generator in Brazil able to create an approximation in low level of lightning transient waveforms (current and voltage), and apply it for simulating its indirect effects on embedded electro-electronic systems. AS a differential, this generator will inegrate an electronic controller allowing the user to choose between all the waveforms specified in the standard RTCA/DO-160. (AU)
