The breaker trips. The motor hums but won't start. The plug-in tester says "correct," and the outlet is still wrong. You need the cause, not a guess.
Here's the problem. Too much troubleshooting is parts-swapping: replace the breaker, the GFCI, the contactor, and hope. It burns hours and money. And the fault you missed comes back.
This field guide gives you a step-by-step process instead. Verify. Isolate. Test. Identify. Confirm. That's 255 real-world faults across residential, commercial and industrial systems. You get:
✓ Start with what you see. The Symptom Finder lists all 255 diagnostics the way faults show up in the field.
✓ Check the likely cause first. Causes are ranked from most to least common, and checks run from easiest to most invasive.
✓ Follow the flowchart, not your gut. Step-by-step diagnostic flowcharts with clear yes/no decisions.
✓ Read the meter like a pro. Ghost voltage, open neutrals, bootleg grounds and lost service neutrals, all explained.
✓ End nuisance tripping. GFCI, AFCI and breaker trips, including the hidden GFCI and crossed neutrals.
✓ Commercial systems covered. Lighting contactors, time clocks, photocells, occupancy sensors, 0-10 V dimming, emergency lighting and transformers.
✓ Industrial without the guesswork. Three-phase problems, motors, starters, overloads, VFD trips, sensors, PLC I/O and 4-20 mA signals.
✓ Know when to stop. Every entry is marked by skill level, with STOP & ESCALATE points and qualified-person warnings.
✓ Verify the repair before you leave. Full entries end with how to confirm the fix.
✓ A rapid reference for the truck. Symptom-to-cause tables, meter failure patterns and a diagnostic checklist.
✓ 3 bonus field tools: a Field Calculations Toolkit, printable field forms and troubleshooting drills.
Built for electricians, apprentices and maintenance techs who are done guessing. You can keep swapping parts. Or you can find the fault the first time.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
