Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media provide electric supply equipmentconfigured to perform diagnostics. The electric supply equipmentmay include a receptaclefor forming a closed circuit loop. The electric supply equipmentincludes a connectorfor charging devices, such as electric vehicles. The connectormay include one or more conductors, some of which may be wrapped with insulation. When the connectoris not used for charging, the connectormay be connected to a receptacleof the electric supply equipment. Thus, the electric supply equipment, via the receptacle, may form a closed loop circuit with the conductors. Further, the electric supply equipmentmay include a diagnostic unitfor performing diagnostic tests on the conductors. In particular, the diagnostic unitmay access ends of the conductors via the receptacle
