Method, a system, a computer-readable medium, and a power controlling apparatus for applying and distributing power

A power control unit comprising:

• a first portion of memory configured to store data representing operational profiles for generating a power signal as a function of a parameter;
• a mode controller configured to select an operational profile from the operational profiles to establish a selected operational profile;
• a waveform control module configured to generate the power signal in accordance with the selected operational profile;
• a second portion of memory configured to store data representing fault profiles that include thresholds for determining types of faults;
• and
• a fault detector configured to:
• detect a fault based on the fault profiles, and to
• determine whether the fault is associated with a first subset of faults or a second subset of faults, and to
• perform a fault action.
