Abstract

An apparatus configured to test an electrical system including one or more power supplies, a load, and one or more protective-isolation devices disposed between the one or more power supplies and the load is disclosed. The apparatus has a first measurement assembly configured to sense a first voltage or a first current at an input side of the one or more power supplies, a second measurement assembly configured to sense a second voltage or a second current at an output side of the one or more power supplies, and a third voltage or a third current between the one or more protective-isolation devices and the load, and a power controller electrically disposed between the second or third measurement assembly and a fault assembly. The fault assembly and the power controller are configured to selectively induce a fault, which is selected from a plurality of fault types, either to the output side of the electrical system or between the one or more protective-isolation devices and the load.
