How can I test for a short circuit in a circuit?

To test for a short circuit in a circuit, you can use a multimeter set to measure resistance. Disconnect the power source, then place the multimeter probes at different points in the circuit. If the resistance reading is very low or zero, it indicates a short circuit.


What can you use to find a short-circuit?

A short circuit would blow a fuse. Most fuses are marked as to which circuit they protect. Now that you know which circuit is shorted you can examine the suspected circuit for problems like damaged/pinched wiring to ground.

What is the reason to use open circuit and short circuit methods to find Transformer losses?

The transformer can be tested on open and short circuit to find the iron losses and copper losses separately, which uses a fraction of the power than having to run the transformer on full-load.


What is the requirement for energizing a 120 volt circuit breaker?

Before energizing a breaker for a circuit, the circuit has to be clear of any short circuits or grounds. This can be accomplished by the use of a megger on the correct voltage setting.
