Practical Troubleshooting Of Electrical Equipment And
Control Circuits
There is a large gap between the theory of electron flow, magnetic fields and that of troubleshooting
electrical equipment and control circuits in the plant. In this book, we try to avoid or at least minimize
discussions on the theory and instead focus on showing you how to troubleshoot electrical equipment
and control circuits. The book helps to increase your knowledge and skills in improving equipment
productivity whilst reducing maintenance costs. Reading this book will help you identify, prevent and
fix common electrical equipment and control circuits. The focus is ‘outside the box’. The emphasis is
on practical issues that go beyond typical electrical theory and focus on providing those that attend
with the necessary toolbox of skills in solving electrical problems, ranging from control circuits to
motors and variable speed drives.
This book focuses on the main issues of troubleshooting electrical equipment and control circuits of
today to enable you to walk onto your plant or facility to troubleshoot and fix problems as quickly as
possible. This is not an advanced book but one aimed at the fundamentals of troubleshooting systems.
The book is very practical in its approach to troubleshooting and the examples you will be shown are
applicable to any facility.
We would hope that you will gain the following knowledge from this book:
• Diagnose electrical problems ‘right-first-time’
• Minimize the expensive trial and error troubleshooting approach
• Reduce unexpected downtime on electrical motors and other equipment
• Improve plant safety
• Learn specific techniques to troubleshoot equipment and control circuits
• Analyze equipment problems
• Determine causes of equipment failure
• Troubleshoot electrical equipment and control circuits.
Typical people who will find this book useful include:
• Plant Electricians
• Mechanical Engineers
• Production Operators and Supervisors
• Utilities Maintenance Personnel
• Plant Engineers.
