Circuit Simplification How circuits are identified: • By what mfg or engineer states • By load device • By load device and controlling device (a
switch), ie (S3) • By load device and lock-in path• Load device and locked in an energized
state by controlling device (relay points) • Lock in path is an alternate path of current • By load device and mode of operation

Developing an operational chart and sequence of events Mechanical - what the operator does to get the
circuit to perform (flip switches, set timer, control settings, etc)
Electrical - what happens electrically in the circuit in response to the operators actions (lamp lights, motor runs, etc)
State of the load device Load device energized Load device is not energized

Identifying Possible Malfunctions Using Circuit Extracts Format for circuit extracts • Rectangular • Power source on left (only)• Load device on right (only)• Conductor on top and bottom to include switches
and tie points Size • Only one per normal size sheet of paper, on both
sides • Large enough to read at a glance
TROUBLESHOOTING
![Page 10: Four Components of a circuit Power supply Conductor Load device Controlling device Power Supply Generator Line source (wall outlet) Transformer](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649e365503460f94b2634e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Labeling • Must include tie points • All components must be labeled • All switches will be drawn in the position they are
shown in on the main schematic • Include all wire colors and wire numbers
Advantage in troubleshooting • Easier to parallel troubleshoot (sides of line easily
open) • Concentrates attention on circuit to be troubleshot
rather than entire schematic
TROUBLESHOOTING

Use of voltmeter (locating the problem) Measures the voltage difference between the two
leads Black lead - reference lead - common Red lead - testing lead Set meter to read what you would normally expect to
find Voltmeter compares the voltage on the red lead to
the voltage on the black lead
TROUBLESHOOTING
![Page 12: Four Components of a circuit Power supply Conductor Load device Controlling device Power Supply Generator Line source (wall outlet) Transformer](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649e365503460f94b2634e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A voltmeter is like a load device When the meter indicates a voltage level all
conductors between the power source and meter leads must be good NOTE: Start meter at highest setting for safety and about ghost voltage
If the meter does not read a voltage and power is applied, there is an open between the power source and the meter leads NOTE: A multimeter set to ohms works differently - the meter is the power source and it checks the resistance to current flow between the meter leads
TROUBLESHOOTING
![Page 13: Four Components of a circuit Power supply Conductor Load device Controlling device Power Supply Generator Line source (wall outlet) Transformer](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649e365503460f94b2634e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Determine reference point Know a good point in functioning area of circuit If entire unit does not work place leads across
incoming power - if meter reads voltage, leave one lead in place for reference
When moving into a different power supply you must move your reference lead to within the power supply to be tested
TROUBLESHOOTING
![Page 14: Four Components of a circuit Power supply Conductor Load device Controlling device Power Supply Generator Line source (wall outlet) Transformer](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649e365503460f94b2634e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Parallel Troubleshooting NOTE: Before ANY type of troubleshooting takes
place, all switches and or controlling devices MUST be in the proper position as to energize the load device
The most common method involves keeping meter parallel to power source and load device - one lead on each side of incoming power line
TROUBLESHOOTING
![Page 15: Four Components of a circuit Power supply Conductor Load device Controlling device Power Supply Generator Line source (wall outlet) Transformer](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649e365503460f94b2634e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Procedure • Connect reference lead • Check other side of line with testing lead
Start at first known point closest to power source Check point by point out to load device If voltage read up to load device - that side of the line is
good as a reference and then check the other side of the line up to the load device
If the meter reading is 0 volts the open is between the last place you read voltage and the first place 0 volts was read
If voltage is read to both sides of a load device and it does not energize - LOAD DEVICE IS OPEN
• When the meter indicates a voltage level it is energized

Series Troubleshooting Keeps leads on the same incoming line Zero voltage means that the line between the two
test leads are good Applied voltage read on a meter means there is
an open somewhere between the two testing leads
Procedure • Determine which line you will check first and connect
the reference lead as close to the power source as possible
TROUBLESHOOTING
![Page 18: Four Components of a circuit Power supply Conductor Load device Controlling device Power Supply Generator Line source (wall outlet) Transformer](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649e365503460f94b2634e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Insure that the reference is good by checking the opposite line for applied voltage
Check point by point out to the load device until applied voltage is found
If applied voltage is found; then the open is between where the voltage was found and the last reading of zero volts
If zero volts is found up to the load device, then the side of the line you are testing is good and the procedure should be repeated on the opposite side of the line
TROUBLESHOOTING
![Page 19: Four Components of a circuit Power supply Conductor Load device Controlling device Power Supply Generator Line source (wall outlet) Transformer](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649e365503460f94b2634e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Loop Troubleshooting Method Loop troubleshooting is a combination of
both series and parallel methods As with either of the above methods, the
object is to locate an open by observing a difference of potential where there should be none
Procedure • Connect the reference lead as close to the incoming power
supply as possible (usually the neutral or dc negative side) • Test for incoming voltage at the power supply
TROUBLESHOOTING

Move along the hot line and parallel troubleshoot this line
Once at the load device (if an open hasn't been found already) cross over the load device and troubleshoot in the series method until an open is found Note: If You Read Applied Voltage On The Top Of The
Load DEVICE, AND ZERO volts on the bottom of the load device, and the load device is not energizing the load device itself is open.

Use of the Oscilloscope in Fault Isolation Displays voltage in the form of a signal
Black lead - reference lead - common Probes - 10x or 1x Oscilloscope compares the voltage on the probe tip
to the voltage on the reference lead and displays it as a signal

An oscilloscope is like a load device When the oscilloscope displays a proper reading, it is
energized When the oscilloscope displays a proper reading, all
conductors between the power source and leads must be good
If the oscilloscope does not displays the proper reading, and power is applied, there is an open between the power source and the leads

Determine reference point Known good in functioning area of circuit If entire unit does not work place leads across
incoming power - if meter reads voltage, leave one lead in place for reference
Meter Readings NOTE: It is good practice to determine what
voltage readings should be present before meter is placed in the circuit

Opens An open is a break in the path of current flow
Infinite resistance No current flow Drops the applied voltage
If an open is present in a circuit, the circuit will not function

Shorts • A short is an abnormal path for current flow
No resistance Maximum current flow No voltage drop
• Types of shorts • Damaging: will change the resistance of a circuit and
may cause fuse(S) to blow Non-Damaging: will not change the resistance of a circuit
Across a load device (or power supply) - changes the resistance of a circuit and may cause fuse(s) to blow
From one circuit to another - ie, high voltage circuit to a low voltage circuit - may not change circuit operation but could cause a safety hazard

Half-Split Analysis The use of half-split analysis is fundamental to
logical troubleshooting it is relatively simple always applicable when troubleshooting an
instrument or system which consists of a series of functions

When troubleshooting a functional-series circuit, make your first check at the point where the circuit divides (split the circuit in half) If the desired response is present, the problem is
located between the checkpoint and the output and the limits can be moved to encompass this area
If the desired response is not present, the problem is probably located between the input and the checkpoint and again, the limits can be moved to encompass this area

After we have reduced the limits of the problem to the smallest circuit area, we look at the section of the circuit schematic and make individual resistance, voltage and current checks to determine the particular faulty components
Feedback Analysis When analyzing a feedback-controlled system or
network, break (disconnect) the feedback loop • If the output of the system or network does not
change, the problem is in the feedback loop • If the output changes radically, the problem is in the
system or the circuit

The first check of the feedback-controlled system is restricted to its output Consists of measuring it as you disconnect the
feedback loop This measurement might be a voltmeter, or
oscilloscope Always remember feedback is used to control
When you remove affective control, you have rapid and large change
When you remove ineffective control, you have slow and minute change
