The excerpt is a short dialogue between two speakers—one speaking as a technician—about diagnosing power surge issues. The technician explains that available tests only show whether a component failed or is still operational (they cannot conclusively test for a "power surge failure") and the participants mention large numbers of surges (references to "over 200" and "30,000").

And.
I kind of explained to him that, just so you know, us as technicians and being a technician before, there's not a test that we can do that says that's power surge failure. All we can see is, did it fail or is it still operational? That's all we can do. And we cut it like that.
Is there. How many power surges are there? Like, over 200.
There's tons. Yeah.
In the year 600. What? Yeah. 30,000.
Yeah.
