Abstract
A load simulator and switch are connected to a power source of a plasma processing device. The switch allows the load simulator to be electrically connected to the power source to allow testing of the power source. The switch and load simulator allow the testing of the power source without mechanically removing the power source from the plasma processing device. In addition, the switch allows the connection of the load simulator to the power source while the power source is on, avoiding the requirement of turning off the power source before connecting the load simulator.
