This paper presents the design and implementation of a spike production circuit for testing the endurance and behavior of electrical appliances in fluctuations of their input supply voltage. The proposed spike production circuit produces voltage spikes up to 1KV with high slew rate. The spike production circuit uses an AC/DC converter that can produce variable voltage up to a maximum voltage level. This voltage charges a variable capacitance in a capacitor bank. An electronic relay circuit is responsible to switch the electrical appliance to the output of the Spike Production Circuit. The spike production circuit is interfaced with a PC where a control program was developed to set and control the spike production circuit. Experimental results are presented.
