Robert, We often do high current tests as a type test and on our production line this is a routine test. Some people have used simple arc welders. They are economical but you have to be careful of the strike voltage. Another alternative is that most agencies allow you to do a DC test in which case you can find reconditioned power supplies. For example I'm looking at a new Test Equity catalog I just got in the mail. It has several choices that go upwards to several hundred Amps. Currently I am using some Sorenson power supplies capable of 600 Amps at 10 Volts.

My concern is regarding high amperage equipment and the requirement to test at two times the circuit current. We are looking at a product rated at 100 amps. Where in the world can we get a tester that would go up to 200 amps with a 12 V output?
