Abstract
Flash (switching and lightning) is a major
cause of the interruption in power supply,
thereby causing the destruction of systems.
Performance and efficiency of the power
system or electrical equipment are known
to reduce if the phenomenon of lightning
occurs repeatedly and prolonged. Marx
generator can rapidly generate a high
voltage. The same is true with the voltage
flash. This study looks at the GUI and
analysis of the data for excel and Matlab
graphs as the major simulation method
used in switch and lightning impulse
voltage. The results have indicated that the
voltage in both cases increases rapidly to
match that of the supply voltage as the
switch is toggled on and decreases
gradually. In multi-stage switching in both
cases, the result indicates that the charge
Introduction
The paper is divided into major sections,
the first focuses on the major method of
distinguishing the existing difference
between switching and lighting while the
last method, is based on statistical analysis
difference switching and lightning.
Graphical user interface
Graphical user interface (GUI) was
developed to aid in the analysis of
efficiency and design of an impulse
generator [1]. GUI makes programs easier

Specific Investigation
In this paper, an investigation on the effect
of lightning and switching impulse of a
Marx generator using single stage and
multi-stage is investigated. The study
relied on GUI simulator to produce the
graphical results for interpretation.

Theoretical concept
A Marx generator was developed by Erwin
Otto Marx in 1924 [12]. The purpose of
the generator was to generate a highvoltage pulse from a low-voltage DC
supply.

Conclusion
The t-test results from excel also indicate
pvalue=0.06> 0.05
that at 0.05
hence portraying weak evidence against
the null hypothesis, so we fail to reject the
null hypothesis.
This is similar to
conclusion drawn from calculation. The
results noted in statistical analysis are also
similar to that noted from GUI observation
and analysis.
Therefore, it is worth noting that there is
no difference in voltages used during
switching and lighting.
