The digital voltmeter is the best basic tool for electrical troubleshooting, because it's calibrated and exact. But remember, the digital voltmeter can't detect a high-resistance fault if the circuit ...
The SureTrace™ Circuit Tracer Pro redefines what a circuit tracer can do. With numerical voltage readings, continuity testing, AC amperage readings, contactless tracing, and receptacle testing, it's ...
Because the wiring and the inputs and outputs (I/Os) are the most vulnerable elements in a system, be sure to locate and identify these elements in the problem circuit. Sometimes, the only way to test ...
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...
In "Electrical Fundamentals For HVAC/R Technicians, A Practical Approach To Electrical Troubleshooting & Servicing Comfort Cooling Systems" well-known HVAC industry trainer Jim Johnson takes the ...
Anyone who has used electrical or electronic products knows that electromechanical components such as cables and connectors are often a source of problems ranging from obvious to intermittent to ...
