APPARATUS FOR TESTING AN ARC FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER

摘要

A test apparatus tests an arc fault circuit breaker with an arc fault generator having an input and an output. The test apparatus includes a first electrical connector electrically connected to the load side of an arc fault circuit interrupter. A second electrical connector is electrically connected to the input of the arc fault generator. A third electrical connector is electrically connected to the output of the arc fault generator. A plurality of fourth electrical connectors are electrically connected to one or more of a plurality of masking loads. A fifth electrical connector is electrically connected to another load. A two pole, plural position rotary selector switch provides a plurality of different configurations of at least the arc fault generator and the one or more masking loads downstream of the load side of the arc fault circuit breaker.
