MICRO PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE

TEST CONTINUITY OF CIRCUIT BREAKER USING VOM TESTER

LOGICAL PROCEDURE 5

1. Prepare for testing

1.1. Place the component into safe and adequate testing area
1.2. Prepare the multi-tester to be used in diagnosing the component
1.3. Ensure that the area is clean and comfortable for testing

2. Multi-tester preparation
2.1. Position the multi-tester in the most convenient way to read the results
during the test
2.2. Pull out the test probes
2.3. Set the tester into the lowest multiplier (Rx1)

3. Diagnose the component

3.1. Turn the circuit breaker into ON position
3.2. Touch probes at the lines and corresponding terminals
3.2.1. Each line must have only one corresponding terminals
3.2.2. Touch one probe at the one line and to the terminals, only the corresponding
terminal must show continuity, however, if multiple terminals shows continuity,
then it is shorted, if none of the terminals. Then it is defective
3.2.3. Repeat the process to the other lines
3.3. Turn at OFF position, then repeat the process, there must be no continuity
at all and at any of the lines and terminals and regardless of its
corresponding pair, if there is continuity at this position, then your breaker
is defective.

NOTE: AFTER CONDUCTING THE TEST, KEEP EVERYTHING IN PLACE AND LEFT
NOTHING THAT WAS USED DURING DIAGNOSING, BE RESPONSIBLE AND
OBSERVE CLEANLINESS AND PROPER HOUSEKEEPING.
