Industrial Electrical Troubleshooting demonstrates the efficient use of certain electrical meters to troubleshoot relay-logic circuits with a single setting. Today, a generation of electronic meters is available to test voltage and continuity without changing the setting of the meter or de-energizing the circuit. Careful attention has been given to safety procedures throughout the book. Traditional troubleshooting techniques have not kept pace with this equipment though. Instructors and students will find comprehensive and up-to-date information for safely and efficiently locating problems and then troubleshooting online. Multimeters, clamp-on meters, ammeters, megohmmeters, proximity voltage meters, hand-held oscilloscopes and other meters are thoroughly discussed as plant electrical troubleshooting tools.

Features:

* introduces troubleshooting techniques designed to get equipment back online in an efficient and cost-effective manner
* explains a variety of testing instruments and procedures to facilitate correction of industrial maintenance problems
* provides practical knowledge of testing procedures through the use of illustrations and applications
* evaluates electrical troubleshooting in the context mechanical functions, providing a real-world perspective
* focuses on bottom-line issues of productivity, helping the user achieve the ultimate goal of any manufacturing plant-profitability

Reviews:

Anyone who knows anything about mindbending,hardcore, systematic industrial electrical troubleshooting will imediately recognize that this book is worth its weight in gold! I have been an industrial electrician for many years and I have a degree in electrical technology. Over the years I have read many books to help me in becoming the troubleshooter I am today. However I have never read any book with enough troubleshooting techniques that I could call the real Mcoy until now. This book is the real deal! The Author obviously has been in the industrial electrical field for many years. The best aspect of this book is his ability to clarify and simplify the various techniques of using instruments in troubleshooting safely and efficiently.Well done Mr Lundquist!! We now await the advance edition!
