A system and method of determining a fault in two or more series switches of an electrical system. The electrical system includes, at least one AC power source, at least one sensor, at least two series switches, and a fault analysis module including a processor and a memory. The method includes applying, by the at least one AC power source, at least one time varying signal to the electrical system. The method further includes receiving, by the fault analysis module, at least one measurement, from the at least one sensor, of the at least one time varying signal, at least one node of the electrical system. The method further includes receiving, by the fault analysis module, at least one predetermined signal parameter and determining, by the fault analysis module, the presence of a fault, based on the at least one measurement and the at least one predetermined signal parameter.

Switch failure detection system

An interconnect device includes a body portion with conductors passing through the body portion. An energy harvesting device, a power controller device and a rechargeable DC power source are configured such that the power controller device includes instructions programmed thereon for controlling the flow of power between the energy harvesting device, the DC power source, and a microcontroller. Sensor devices are in electrical communication with the microcontroller. The sensors are arranged to detect parameters associated with the interconnect device and communicate the parameters to the microcontroller. An output device communicates data from the microcontroller associated with the at least one sensor.
