SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR TESTING OF AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

A method for a fault ride through testing of an electrical system including one or more power sources, one or more power consumers, and a first protective-isolation device and a second protective-isolation device both disposed between the one or more power sources and the one or more power consumers is disclosed. The method includes prior to the fault ride through testing, opening the second protective-isolation device, and closing the first protective-isolation device, and during the fault ride through testing, opening both the first and second protective-isolation devices to block current flow between the one or more power sources and the one or more power consumers. The method also includes during the fault ride through testing, decreasing a terminal voltage of the one or more power sources using a voltage regulator, and following the fault ride through testing, opening the first protective-isolation device, and closing the second protective-isolation device.
