Procedure to do the Experiment

  1. The objective of this experiment is to observe the variation in output waveform by varying one parameter and keeping all the others constant.

  2. When the page loads the user is presented with three input parameter buttons namely Tail Capacitance(Cl),Front Resistance(Rf),Tail Resistance(Rt) on left frame and a circuit representation of IVG on right frame.

  3. One of the parameter buttons is clicked to continue the experiment for parametric analysis.

  4. The user gets a display of non-editable parameters namely Charging voltage(VO),Ground Capacitance(Cg),Front Inductance(Lf),Load Inductance(Ll),Tail Inductance(Lt) with default values and two editable parameters namely parameter button choosen(Cl,Rf,Rt)and Tail Time required(Td) with default values.

  5. The editable parameters are changed by adjusting -- and + buttons along the text box.

  6. The setup Generator button is clicked to display the Experimental setup of IVG.

  7. The Trigger Generator button is clicked to start the experiment.

  8. When the generator is triggered the sphere gaps break-down and the impulse waveform so generated is displayed.

  9. The salient features of the waveform namely Peak Voltage,Front Time and Tail Time are displayed in the form of a graph by clicking on the single output button on the top right corner.

  10. The parametric analysis for the other parameters can be performed similarly following above steps.

  11. The waveforms generated by performing the experiment for each parameter namely Tail Capacitance(Cl),Front Resistance(Rf),Tail Resistance(Rt) and different input values for other parameters can be compared using wave-form comparision button at the end of experiment.
