Abstract

A programmable AC load in communication with an equipment under test (EUT) is disclosed. The EUT generates an equipment under test voltage. The programmable alternating current (AC) load includes an active load profiler (ALP), a grid-connecter inverter, and an operational mode selector. The operational mode selector is in communication with an AC side of the grid-connected inverter. The operational mode selector places the programmable AC load in either a regenerative mode where the equipment under test voltage is sent to a main grid or a dissipative mode where the equipment under test voltage is dissipated by heat.
