Abstract
Devices include an impulse current generator that is configured to provide a direct impulse current (DIC) that includes a specified waveform to a test load during a test duration, a continuous power supply that is configured to provide a continuous power to the test load during the test duration, a trigger circuit that is configured to determine a trigger condition that corresponds to the DIC and to generate a trigger signal responsive to determining the trigger condition, and a current bypass circuit that is configured to receive the trigger signal generated by the trigger circuit and to conduct a majority portion of the DIC being conducted by the load responsive to the trigger signal.
