Hands-On Electrical Troubleshooting
Training duration: 1 day
This intensive one-day hands-on class covers the troubleshooting and repair of control circuits and components. The attendee will build circuits on realistic training panels that contain a motor starter, relays, terminal strips, push buttons, selector switches, and limit switches.
After the circuits are built, the instructor will introduce a realistic fault into the circuit. With the instructor’s help, participants will be asked to repair the faulty circuit using their multimeter and the techniques learned earlier in the day.
This class is hands-on and very practical in its approach to troubleshooting. The examples shown are applicable to practice in any facility. To ensure the quality of this program, this class has limited seating.
