Fault finding flow diagrams

[EPRspark]

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can help.


i have a number of guys working for me, some are good at fault finding and some still need the experience.


im looking for a fault finding flow diagrams to lead the less experienced ones down a logical path when looking for faults on not only heating systems but lighting, radial and ring mains etc. We carry out domestic and commercial work only so don't need motors etc.


i have searched for books and also google images but can't track anything down.


has anyone seen anything like this? Boiler manuals have them for internal faults but I've never seen one for general faults.


Thanks in advance

Why don`t you get the good guys to do some for you?

I have just done one myself for fault finding on a one way lighting circuit and it's time consuming and I don't see much point in re inventing the wheel. There must be some out there.

Not sure why you bothered to reply if you couldn't help?

Fault finding...
Know exactly how the faulty circuit is wired, then try and interpret the measurements you've made and symptoms you've observed is the best I can offer.
That, and experience.

Sounds to me like you are paying peanuts and have got monkeys?
If your good guys are really ok then why not pair them up with the ones that need help??? Cost?
At the end of the day what you are asking for can be summed up with the word experience.

What was the point in responding like that? We pay £15 per hour for good guys.

some need to learn the ropes like we all had to. Fault finding becomes an instinct from experience and through logic.

i take it you don't run a business otherwise you would know that you don't send two guys out to find a fault.

i have seen the sarcastic responses on here and have wondered what type of person bothers to respond with such pathetic answers. You need to do something more useful with your spate time.

Pathetic man

What your asking for would take someone with experience a very long time to produce and get right, tweaking it here and there and as such would be quite valuable and probably locked in a very tough box with barbed wire wraped around it and special search lights trained onto it at all hours....there are probably only two people who know it exists, Bob Hoskins is probably one and the other one goes by the name Tarquin.......hence you wont find a good one on line without the special pass word which was lost last week by Mr Hoskins whilst doging in dingle dell near colchester.

Pathetic man?

You can find them for motor vehicle fault that are not locked in boxes. Jeez there are some sad characters on here? Does nobody have a life?

yep are you sure you dont need two blokes on some faults to find ?? or do you employ mr tickle with big long arms to reset the breaker two floors down then change into ussain bolt to dart upstairs in time for the fault to blow again ?:lol:

joking aside im sure i have seen in the wholesalers a fault finding guides simular to the on site guide, not needed to open it myself though.

the only way to become good at fault finding is to practice fault finding .

engage brain and crack on

Thats what I said, how can you loose a pass word dogging..incredulous....or find the lost pass word

 

[EPRspark]

Are you for real? A grown man spending his time coming up with pathetic responses to a normal question. You need to get a girlfriend and a life mate

 

[Zebra Stripe]

I know, but Im not fully grown yet

 

[EPRspark]

[Zebra Stripe]

Oh come on EPR get a sense of humour.....I'd like what your asking for but come on it would take someone alot of time to produce and Im sure they wouldnt give it to me for free.

He has all that spare time because he does not need to fault find his work.
