0000 An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to improving diagnostic measurements during operation of electrolyzers. In one embodiment, a hydrogen production system contains an electrolyzer; a direct current (DC) voltage source to apply a DC voltage across the electrolyzer to cause production of hydrogen by the electrolyzer; a test source to apply an alternating current (AC) signal across the electrolyzer to perform measurement of a diagnostic parameter of the electrolyzer; and a filter located in a path between the DC source and the electrolyzer, the filter designed to block the AC signal from when the AC signal is applied across the electrolyzer. As such the test source is operable to perform the measurement during the production of the hydrogen while the filter prevents the diversion of the AC signal to the DC source.
