Troubleshooting Branch Circuits |
DATE:
April 16 TIME: 12:30 PM ROOM:
Keystone A
TOPICS OF DISCUSSION:
• Monitor Voltage for Performance
• Sag and Swell Voltage Disturbances
• Voltage Transients
• Shorted Neutral and Ground
• Voltage Drop
• Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
COURSE DESCRIPTION: When important equipment fails regularly, it’s a big problem in business. Tracking down the cause of those problems on a branch circuit can be a frustrating experience. Degrading connections and wiring devices are seldom recognized as the source of failures. Locate and repair would be the most cost effective solution, but how can you test a branch circuit from a single outlet? The best place to test a branch circuit is right at the point of failure, usually the outlet where a device is connected. Tools and measurement techniques exist to perform those tasks quickly and easily. With the right tools, anyone can determine the quality of a branch circuit. Performing simple tests will ensure the integrity of branch circuits and provide safe and reliable performance of all your equipment needs.
