Basic Industrial Electrical Troubleshooting Training

Concepts that often mystifies new electrical troubleshooters, are those of the relationships between Voltage, Current, and Resistance. The goal of this video is to unravel those mysteries and explain them in simple, straight-forward terms so that you, as a troubleshooter, will understand what you’re seeing and why when attacking real-world problems.

As an Industrial Electrical Troubleshooter, one of your most valuable tools is an industrial quality multimeter. Between your meter, a set of decent wiring diagrams, a little bit of knowledge, and a talkative operator, you should be able to troubleshoot most of your basic industrial electrical problems. In this video we will look at a typical industrial grade multimeter and its four most important, basic settings.

Understanding common components used in basic electrical circuits goes a long way in your ability to troubleshoot them. This is the first of two videos where we’ll talk about circuits and their corresponding components. In this video, I’m going to talk about the Power Circuit. I will talk about the names of different components, show them to you, and at the same time, show you the symbols used to represent them in wiring diagrams.

If you are interested in the very basics of industrial electrical troubleshooting - that is learning how to think and approach electrical issues in an industrial environment - you are in the right place. Best BET Training is designed to take someone, anyone really, with no knowledge of industrial electrical circuits, and teach them, step by step, to be confident and capable of troubleshooting and fixing basic problems. The best part is that it’s really not difficult. You don’t need to know all the theory and design stuff. That’s not going to help - not at this level anyway. Instead, you’ll learn, in simple terms, what common devices are, how they work, and then how to troubleshoot them. You’ll learn what tools you need and how to use them too, and by the time we’re done, you will be ready to tackle real-world faults and impress your bosses and coworkers. So, if this sounds like the training you’re after, come on in and let’s get started. My name is Steve Etter, Electrical Engineer, and I will be your trainer here on the Best BET Training videos.
