Abstract
Disclosed is a continuous broken sense lead detection system (“CBSLDS”) for use with a Kelvin-connected device under test (“DUT”), a power source, and detection system stimulus configured to provide a periodic stimulus voltage. The CBSLDS is configured to detect a discontinuity in a first sense lead, second sense lead, or both, that are in signal communication with the DUT. The CBSLDS includes a first transformer, second transformer, first DC-blocker, second DC-blocker, first detection module, and second detection module.
