2. Growler (electrical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growler_(electrical_device)

   A short in the coil creates a closed circuit that will act like the secondary coil of a transformer, with the growler acting like the primary coil. This will induce an alternating current in the shorted armature that will in turn cause an alternating magnetic field to encircle the shorted armature coil. A flat, broad, flexible piece of metal ...

3. Test light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_light

   A test light, test lamp, voltage tester, or mains tester is a piece of electronic test equipment used to determine the presence of electricity in a piece of equipment under test. A test light is simpler and less costly than a measuring instrument such as a multimeter , and often suffices for checking for the presence of voltage on a conductor.

4. Short-circuit test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_test

   A different form of short-circuit testing is done to assess the mechanical strength of the transformer windings, and their ability to withstand the high forces produced if an energized transformer experiences a short-circuit fault. Currents during such events can be several times the normal rated current.

   Creates constant-amplitude variable frequency sine waves to test frequency response Transistor tester: Tests transistors Tube tester: Tests vacuum tubes (triode, tetrode etc.) Wattmeter: Measures power in a circuit Vectorscope: Displays the phase of the colors in color TV Video signal generator: Generates video signal for testing purposes Voltmeter

6. Electrical outlet tester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_outlet_tester

   A quick supplemental screening test for these simple miswiring errors can be performed using a non-contact voltage tester (NCVT) or non-contact voltage detector. [4] If a problem is thus identified, it can be investigated further using more-advanced equipment, or the outlet in question can be de-energized and disassembled for careful scrutiny. [4]

7. Time-domain reflectometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-domain_reflectometer

   It is only after this round-trip delay that the short can be detected by the TDR. With knowledge of the signal propagation speed in the particular cable-under-test, the distance to the short can be measured. A similar effect occurs if the far end of the cable is an open circuit (terminated into an infinite impedance).
