Great video. If doing point to point I open fuse holders to isolate circuits.

Love your channel, I have great desire to learn electrical trouble shooting. I was searching for so many electrical trouble shooting videos but this website has quenched my thirst.Thank you very much.

After over 20 years of professional troubleshooting, I would like to point to your attention the simple fact, that "Drawings" are not commonly found any where in today's factory. Yes, as strange and unlikely it sounds, drawing are scarce and far in between these days. In addition when we find drawings (rare occurrence) they are more often than not inaccurate and sometimes obsolete.
However I do agree with you that drawings should be our most important reference.

Nice video but at 1:26 it also helps if your test leads are in the voltage/resistance port when measuring point to point resistances!

You have to be practical, just talking won’t do. Thank you

I thumbed up and subscribed, now stop yelling at me!

It took me quite awhile to track down a electrical schematic drawing of an older milling machine, it saved hours of backtracking the wiring to get all the electromagnetic clutches and switches to function properly as many wires were installed wrong from a previous repair attempt. Saved a bundle with the drawings. I vouch for the importance.

Hi I'm just starting out at Panel building. I'd like to get the proper size hole cutter for the Allen Bradly 30mm buttons. However, Every kit I find only has 1 1/8" (Slightly too small) or 1 3/8" abit to big. What do you recomend? We have a knockout, but I'd like to just use a hole cutter to get it all in one step.

Please use bullet points on the screen as you go over each point so the visual learners can read the training. Hearing something and reading something gives different results for each person. 75% of people are visual learners. All of your audible training means nothing unless you add visual representations of what you just said. When speaking about something you can say: How does the car sound to you? or How does the car look to you? The visual questions will not work well with someone who is an audible learner. Maybe you can look over the basics of Neuro Linguistic Programming to understand how to improve from here. Thank you for the video but it bores a visual learner to death in about two minutes or less. If you add written points as you make them verbally it will help the training of most people.

What drawing? Machines are like 50 years old and so many new parts have been added over the decades without updating diagram.

Talking too much without practical aspect does not make sense
