Troubleshooting Systems and Circuits

Electrical problems may show up anywhere at any time. Some problems are as simple as an abnormal signal value that can be corrected by a minor adjustment. Other problems are not as easy to identify and correct, especially when the cause of the problem is in a non-electrical component or in another system. Regardless of the cause, electricians are responsible for zeroing in on problems whenever they occur and bringing things back to normal. A good way to ensure that the proper actions are taken in response to an electrical problem is to follow a troubleshooting procedure that is both systematic and logical. This course describes the basics of troubleshooting, general guidelines and action steps, and a seven-step troubleshooting method for solving problems.
