Fault Finding

Preliminary Electrical Systems
Check

A. EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK

- Appliance must

be electrically disconnected - meter set on

Ω

(Ohms) x 1 scale and adjust zero if necessary.
a) Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth

pin on plug. Resistance should be less than
0.1

Ω (Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity

and all contacts are clean and tight.

B. INSULATION CHECK

- Appliance electrically

disconnected, all switches ON.
a) meter set on

Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale.

Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal
block. If meter reads «0» then there is a short
circuit.

b) meter set on

Ω (Ohm) x 100 scale.

Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads
less than

∞ (infinity) there is a fault.

NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed
but no fault is indicated - a detailed continuity check
(i.e. by disconnecting and checking each
component) is required to trace the faulty
component.
It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of
local burning/arcing but no fault could be found under
test. However a detailed visual inspection should
reveal evidence of burning around the fault.

START

Isolate appliance
and carry out:

A:

Earth Continuity

check.

Has inlet fuse blown?

Carry out:

C:

Polarity check.

Electricity supply
should now be
satisfactory.

Carry out:

D:

Resistance to

Earth check.

Inlet wiring
faulty.
Rectify any
fault.

Isolate appliance and
carry out:

B:

Insulation check.

Rectify any fault
including replacing
fuses as necessary.
