Abstract Surge counters used in high-voltage systems must be tested for accuracy and reliability under standardized surge conditions. This paper presents the design and implementation of a dedicated and affordable testing setup capable of generating controlled high-voltage impulses for surge counter evaluation. The system develops a high-voltage surge generator capable of charging a 2 µF capacitor bank up to 4 kV using a 12V DC supply and simulates 8/20 µs lightning impulse waveforms using a triggered spark gap for realistic surge testing. The proposed system implements a high-voltage impulse generation system capable of producing standard 8/20 µs waveforms and accurately measures peak discharge current during impulse events using a digital peak hold metering system. The design incorporates an H-Bridge inverter topology with Sinusoidal PWM control, step-up transformation, and LC filtering techniques to achieve the required voltage levels. Simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink and Proteus validate the design approach, while hardware implementation using STM32 Blue Pill microcontroller, IR2110 MOSFET driver, and IRFZ44N MOSFETs demonstrates practical feasibility.
