Abstract
A testing device to perform electrical arc testing on a workpiece. The testing device includes an electrode and an actuator mounted to the electrode. The actuator is configured to control a separation distance between the electrode and the workpiece. The actuator is further configured to oscillate the electrode and vary the separation distance to create a low voltage electrical arc when electrical energy is supplied to the electrode.
