Secondary service conductor tester

Abstract

A secondary service conductor tester includes a housing. A set of at least two wires suitable for detachably engaging a meter base are electrically connected to the secondary electrical service of a power utility. A plurality of electrical loads each of which includes a fan unit are capable of drawing approximately 80 amps or more current when activated. A switch is electrically connected to at least one of the at least two wires and the plurality of electrical loads to select respective pairs of the three wires through which the current is drawn. A display indicates the electrical voltage drop when one of the respective pairs of wires are electrically connected to the meter base and the plurality of electrical loads are activated. The electrical loads and the switch enclosed within the housing and at least one of the at least two wires at least periodically electrically connected to the plurality of electrical loads in response to switching the switch.
