Phase B |
Phase C |
Phase D1 |
|
Review contractor's "tailored" environmental testing specification and note all exceptions taken by the contractor. Include pre-test checks of connector, wiring integrity, polarities, voltage and current limit settings on special test equipment. Use high-speed data acquisition systems to capture any voltage or current glitches that may occur.
