  • Abstract
    This paper summarizes issues with using mobile power generators (MEPs) with automatic test equipment. MEPs are used on the flight line and at AF bases worldwide where facility power is unavailable. MEPs generate high power, connect directly to ATE with no current limiting devices in between, and are often left ungrounded. With these MEP issues ATE should be designed to detect power on its chassis.
