Translations:Diagnosing faults/7/en

We have a number of ways to gather evidence about the fault, often we have to mix and match.

  • Description of the fault from the owner/user (sometimes this can be misleading and/or 'wrong')
  • Nature of the onset
  • Visual evidence
  • Passive testing (e.g. with a meter - resistance can be useful)
  • Functional testing (when safe and possible)
