Reliability Testing
Also known asUtility Failure Test

A Pull-the-Plug Test is a reliability test that deliberately removes the utility power source to verify the facility rides through the outage as designed, with UPS support and automatic generator start-up carrying the load. It validates the complete backup power chain under realistic failure conditions and is often part of integrated systems testing.
