In this course, students are introduced to systematic approaches for diagnosing, isolating, and correcting faults in electrical power systems and equipment. Emphasis is placed on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills while using industry-standard diagnostic tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and clamp meters. Students learn to interpret schematics, apply root cause analysis techniques, and perform corrective actions on simulated and real-world systems. Safety practices, including Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)-70E standards, lock-out/tag-out procedures, and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), are reinforced throughout the course. Hands-on laboratory experiences provide practical application of troubleshooting strategies to prepare students for careers in power generation, distribution, and maintenance.
