Electrical Troubleshooting MS vs Schematic

Totally FREE! No ads or pop-ups! How this App Works: This app has 17 different electrical problems that are randomly selected to provide a fun and challenging learning experience. It is certain to help you become more proficient in troubleshooting with a voltmeter. The motor starter is animated so that you can SEE the different contact configurations between forward and reverse. Another unique feature of this app is the ability to instantly switch back and forth between the control schematic and the real time PLC logic. There is also a "Troubleshooting Assistant" to help test the control circuit and find the problems. The app is initially in normal mode. This allows you to experience: - How a reversing starter works. - How to use the virtual voltmeter probes to measure voltages at various test points (small black squares, which turn red when the voltmeter makes contact with them) in the control circuit. - Analyze the PLC logic, when the starter is in various control modes Run (FWD & Rev), Off and Auto (FWD & REV). The HMI only has control in Auto. The selector switches work as indicated by control circuit. After the you understand how the motor starter works in the various control modes, you can check your troubleshooting skills by going to "Settings" (touch the 'More' button (at the top of the app) and then the gear icon) and selecting troubleshooting mode. Touch the "Arrow Back" icon to return to the control schematic. You will notice that the screen background has turned a light green, indicating that it is in troubleshooting mode and has a problem that needs to be found. Use the "Troubleshooting assistant" at the top, right side of the control schematic to help set the operator switches for testing. Use the voltmeter probes and PLC logic screen to identify the problem. Once you believe that you have identified the problem, touch "Problem Identified" button at the top of the app. A list of possible problems will appear. If you cannot determine the problem, at the bottom of the list, there is an item to provide the answer. If you desire to put the control system back in to normal (Non Troubleshooting Mode - No electrical problems) to learn more about how it is suppose to work, go to the settings section and unselect "Troubleshooting Mode". It is truly a great learning tool for anybody that wants to be able to fully utilize a voltmeter to troubleshoot a control circuit.

You live surrounded by systems you can't explain. The breaker panel in the hallway. The boiler that makes a noise you've decided to ignore. The valve someone once told you to find "in case of emergency." Schematic fixes that. HOW IT WORKS Each lesson runs about two minutes. A narrator walks you through a diagram that draws itself as it goes — one card at a time, captioned on screen — and ends with three quick questions so you know it landed. Take one with your coffee, or work through a whole track in an afternoon. WHAT YOU'LL COVER • ELECTRICITY — circuits, volts, amps and ohms, grounding, the third hole in the outlet, and why the breaker trips when the kettle goes on • HOME APPLIANCES — what is actually happening inside the kettle, the fridge, the microwave, the washing machine and the vacuum • PLUMBING — water pressure, P-traps, water heaters, banging pipes, and the shut-off valve you will be glad you found early • ENGINEERING — levers, gears, pulleys, torque, why triangles hold buildings up, and why everything has a frequency it hates NO ACCOUNT NEEDED No sign-up, no profile, no setup. Open it and start. Your progress stays on your device. Schematic is educational. It is here so you understand the systems you live with and can talk about them with confidence. It is not a repair manual, and it is not a substitute for a qualified electrician, plumber or gas engineer.
