There is increasing evidence that the risetime of a lightning flash high current return stroke is a factor of ten faster than what has been generally accepted. This new information can affect established lightning simulation parameters and the equipment used to generate the waveshape for simulation testing. This paper is a design exercise for a generator capable of a 0.1 microseconds risetime pulse with a peak current magnitude of 100 kiloamperes. The generator is intended to be used for aircraft susceptibility testing to lightning effects. As such, the test circuit includes the resistance and inductance of the aircraft under test with the current return path to complete the circuit.
