    摘要: A tester for in situ testing of a plurality of circuit breakers having a range of rated currents and multiple trip functions, includes a plurality of power resistors of known impedance, an electronic switch associated with each power resistor connecting the resistor in series with the load terminal of the circuit breaker under test, and a controller that turns on a number of the switches selected to collectively draw through the associated power resistors a test current that is a function of the rated current and sufficient to trip the circuit breaker within a selected time window. Turn on of the electronic switches is also controlled to generate a current waveform appropriate for the trip function being tested. In a self test mode, the value of each of the power resistors is verified as being within limits.
