Troubleshooting Skills Series
Realistic Troubleshooting Simulations on CD-ROM

These programs are totally revised as of January of 2007.

This series of award winning interactive CD ROM training programs are ideal for learning proven troubleshooting techniques and applying them in a very realistic simulated environment. It consists of three programs:
Troubleshooting - Basic Techniques
Troubleshooting - Control Circuits
Troubleshooting - Motor Controls
See descriptions below.

Features
These programs contain highly realistic simulations of electrical equipment for the user to practice troubleshooting. Here the user can perform most activities they would perform on actual equipment such as taking meter readings, opening connections and replacing components. While troubleshooting, the programs evaluate and track the user's results and process. The programs also contain a section where an expert guides the user through a systematic troubleshooting approach.

Who Benefits
Both college students and apprentices find these programs increase both their skills and confidence when troubleshooting electrical circuits. Electrical and maintenance personnel also benefit by refining their reasoning process and increasing the effectiveness of their troubleshooting skills, resulting in reduced downtime of equipment.

Troubleshooting - Basic Techniques  
Downloadable DEMO

Troubleshooting ? Basic Techniques provides practical information on troubleshooting techniques including the following topics: Troubleshooting Safety, A Systematic Approach to Troubleshooting, and Basic Testing Techniques. With this program you don?t just read about troubleshooting ? you actually get to troubleshoot electrical faults. Included is a highly realistic simulation of a lighting circuit with 20 actual faults to solve. This simulation allows you to operate the circuit, take meter readings, remove wires, replace components and other troubleshooting activities. The program also contains a section where an expert guides you through sample faults as well as a complete scoring system to measure your success. Use the feedback from the built in evaluation system to improve your troubleshooting skills and then keep them sharp by using these programs over and over again.

Troubleshooting - Control Circuits
Downloadable DEMO

With this program you don?t just read about troubleshooting ? you actually get to troubleshoot electrical faults. This simulation allows you to operate the circuit, take meter readings, remove wires, replace components and other troubleshooting activities. See what score you get as you solve 28 faults on a highly realistic circuit simulation of an electric door lock consisting of numerous relays, switches, lights, and solenoids. Be sure not to miss the 4 Genius level faults! Benefit from an expert?s experience as you are guided through the troubleshooting process on three sample faults. Use the feedback from the built in evaluation system to improve your troubleshooting skills and then keep them sharp by using these programs over and over again.

Troubleshooting - Motor Controls
Downloadable DEMO

In this program you actually get to troubleshoot faults on a simulation of a reversing motor control circuit for a industrial garage door. This circuit contains such components as limit switches, three phase induction motor, reversing motor starter with overloads, push buttons, step down transformer, and safety switch. 28 faults of varying difficulty are available to be solved, with 4 being extremely challenging! Benefit from the experience of experts as they provide their expertise on solving 3 sample faults by walking you through a systematic troubleshooting process. Determine your troubleshooting score using the built in troubleshooting scoring and evaluation system.
