1. A system, comprising:
- a connection part, receiving multiple different power cables, each carrying electrical power, said connection part including an input connector receiving said power cables from said electrical switching box, and an output connector; and
a load bank, having a plurality of loads, connected to said output connector, said load bank having at least one load connected to a first of said circuit breakers, and another load connected to a second of said circuit breakers.

Abstract
A load bank that is used to test electrical connections. The connections are attached to the load bank, so that the switches are loaded during the testing. The overheating or underheating, of either switches or loads can be tested, evaluated, and used to determine faults and errors.

10. A method, comprising:
-
connecting an input power to a switch bank, which includes a plurality of electrical switches therein, each of which switches connect between said input power, and a separate circuit on an output power; connecting a least a plurality of said separate circuits on the output power to a load bank which includes a plurality of loads therein; and testing said switches by applying said input power to said switches via said loads. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a connection to an electrical control center, said connection including a plurality of separate lines, said separate lines collectively forming separate circuits which are separately switched by said electrical control center; a load bank including a plurality of loads, including at least one load for each of said separate circuits, said load bank also including a reconnection structure which enables reconnecting said loads into different connections with one another; and a fault determination device, which automatically determines at least one fault in the system by detecting a heat amount thereof. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
