Electrical System Troubleshooting and Circuit Analysis

Electrical System Troubleshooting and Circuit Analysis

Does your maintenance department have the most effective electrical circuit troubleshooting skills? If not, you may be spending too much on downtime and avoidable parts.

This course is designed to help electrical troubleshooters focus their logic and make a minimal number of meter tests. With a clear methodical process, troubleshooting under the stress of unplanned downtime can be carried out efficiently and effectively.

The Ten Step Troubleshooting Process is taught with the goal of eliminating the hit and miss methods that can be so costly in terms of time and materials. Safety is stressed along with sound maintenance practices. This two-day course is taught with circuit simulation software and through instructor guided hands-on study of troubleshooting methods.

Learn How To:

  • Observe circuit behaviours with precision
  • Make a thorough inspection for external clues
  • Record critical data during troubleshooting
  • Use logic to make a plan of attack
  • Minimize the number of meter measurements taken
  • Follow a methodical step by step procedure
