This paper shows the realization of an pulse current generator whose purpose is to test and find an adequate coil which will be used for harvesting electric energy. Standard defines signal wave forms of current impulse which are used to simulate thunderbolt, or electrical discharge caused by overvoltage in high voltage transmission lines [1] [2]. Generators which completely fulfill required specifications are prohibitively expensive, and their price far exceeds available budget. This is the reason for designing pulse current generator whose main characteristic is repeatable pulse waveform. This has been shown as a sufficient solution in choosing optimal coil for harvesting electrical energy, which represents the next step in research.
