A PRACTICAL GUIDE that shows maintenance and construction electricians how to successfully repair commercial and industrial electrical equipment

Troubleshooting and Repairing Commercial Electrical Equipment is the first work that offers a practical approach to diagnosing and repairing commercial/industrial electrical equipment – covering everything from motors, computers, elevators, and fire alarm systems to heavy-duty ovens and audio equipment. If you are a licensed construction or maintenance electrician who repairs malfunctioning industrial electrical equipment, this one-of-a-kind guide can help you become more competent in your profession.

Inside you'll find ways to become faster, more efficient, and able to achieve a much higher success rate in restoring large electrical equipment without damaging it, introducing an additional defect, or creating a hazard. This invaluable resource also includes information for those seeking licensing and certification, as well as different measures that should be taken to ensure that a UL or other agency listing is not voided.

• Presents a new system of diagnostics based on the difficulty of each procedure and the probability of its success
• Emphasizes a practical approach to ensure that equipment is fixed properly
• Uses a blend of basic electrical theory and sophisticated mathematical equations that both experienced technicians and apprentices can learn from
• Includes separate chapters on elevators, fire alarm systems, motors, largescale stereo equipment, and industrial appliances
• Discusses related licensing and certification as they pertain to troubleshooting and repair
