A device to measure the voltage at a test point, also referred to as a test point voltage sensor, comprises a housing formed from a first material and a second material, wherein the first material comprises an insulating material and the second material comprises a conductive or semiconductive material. The housing includes an opening configured to cover a test point of a cable accessory. The device further includes a pressure pad, disposed in the housing, having a conductive mating surface configured to contact a test point of the basic insulation plug or end plug. The device further includes a low side capacitor embedded in the housing and electrically coupled to the conductive mating surface. The device further includes a signal wire electrically coupled to the low side capacitor.

A power supply system and method include multiple power conversion units (PCUs) with independent power generation control and a PCU-to-PCU regulation of power, handoff control system to transfer control of power regulation to a load among the PCUs. The multiple PCUs maintain independent power generation control to collectively provide power to the load and handoff regulation of the power to the load from one PCU to another PCU. The term 'handoff' refers to communication between PCUs that affects a transfer and acceptance of regulation of power control. The independent PCU power generation control with singularly located but transferable control of the regulation of power provides a flexible dynamic power supply.
