Looks nice.

No, we want to test a current sensor with mains' frequency. However
there are
transient once in a while on the line, so we must simulate them
too.
OK, so this amp:
[4]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11682_MA+Audio+HK10KA.html
is rated to deliver 10kw into 1 ohm, if you feed it 17.5 V. That's
100A. The protection circuitry may still be a problem with your load,
however.
Also, I am not endorsing that vendor, it's just a random website I ran
across.
What kind of transient are you trying to simulate? Maybe it would be
easier to make a circuit to add the transient to mains power, instead
of recreating mains power with an amplifier.
