High voltage harness testing system
First Claim
1. A wire harness testing system, comprising:
- a voltage sensor configured to measure a voltage at a location associated with an electric load, wherein the electric load is connected with at least one wire harness;
a controller electrically coupled to the voltage sensor, and being configured to;
receive a wire harness test request;
determine a voltage drop based on a voltage sensor measurement and a reference voltage;
compare the voltage drop with a threshold;
adaptively update the reference voltage with the voltage measurement responsive to a voltage drop below the threshold; and
generate a fault notice responsive to a voltage drop above the threshold; and
at least one indication device configured to provide a warning signal based on the fault notice generated by the controller.

Abstract
A wire harness testing system is disclosed. The wire harness testing system may include a voltage sensor configured to measure a voltage at a location associated with an electric load, wherein the electric load is connected with at least one wire harness. The wire harness testing system may also include a controller electrically coupled to the voltage sensor. The controller may be configured to receive a wire harness test request. The controller may be further configured to determine a voltage drop based on a voltage sensor measurement and a reference voltage and compare the voltage drop with a threshold. The controller may also be configured to adaptively update the reference voltage with the voltage measurement responsive to a voltage drop below the threshold, and generate a fault notice responsive to a voltage drop above the threshold. The wire harness testing system may further include at least one indication device configured to provide a warning signal based on the fault notice generated by the controller.
