Lightning Indirect Effects-Wave ADH Generator for Aircraft Test

Platform Lightning Test System is designed to inject lightning test currents (Component A,D,H for Indirect Effects tests) into an aircraft or a missile or into large components or sections thereof (such as engines or wings) for the purpose of experimentally determining the voltages and currents that would be induced on electrical wiring inside an equivalent structure when it is struck by lightning. The test system consists of generators designated to perform platform level aircraft test defined in SAE ARP 5412C and MIL-STD-464D.
