Having just built a 40kA surge generator with a 1.2µs/50µs open circuit
voltage and 8µs/20µs short circuit current (risetime/pulse width), which is
the test waveform specified in most lightning protection standards I would
have to disagree with your definition of "short circuit".
A short circuit is made by connecting the output terminals of the generator
with a suitably low inductance conductor (Lconductor << Lgenerator).
