Abstract
Widespread interest in transient recovery voltage phenomena has led to the development of a device for determining the recovery characteristics of circuit and apparatus. The problem was solved by making use of the inultiple surge testing technique which, in turn, involves the use of a low voltage repeating type surge generator. This paper describes the method and necessary equipment and indicates the range of conditions to which they may be applied. Demonstration tests on miniature and full scale circuits are also shown.Keywords
