Finding the source of the short circuit



PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. To locate the source of the short circuit in the beginning disconnect elements of the load circuit (load circuit elements - elements that consume electricity, such as light bulbs, electric motors, heating elements, etc.).
2. Remove the fuse and connect the probes of the tester or the voltmeter to safety lock plugs.
3. Turn on the power circuit, thus do not forget that some chains of an electric equipment join only at key turn in the ignition lock in certain position.
4. If pressure is present (about what the control bulb testifies or voltmeter indications), it means that the circuit is shorted.
5. If during the test voltage is not present, however the safety lock on the former fuses at connection of that same load chain, it testifies to failure of an element of loading.
