Mechanical Vs Electrical
Being a hydraulics expert isn’t about just understanding the hydraulics component in a system or machine.?
Why? Because as an expert you need to know when you’re at fault… or when you need someone else to come in and fix the problem.?
A great example of this is…
Electrical solenoids.?
And it’s important as a hydraulics expert to learn how to troubleshoot electrical solenoids so that you can tell when it’s time to wake up the electrician or whether you’ve got a different problem you can solve. Besides who doesn’t love telling the electrical team you can prove it’s their problem??
So how do we troubleshoot electrical solenoids??

2 年Great tips as always. If double acting or same solenoid used elsewhere on machine. A working one could be borrowed and used at the fault position to prove the valves function.

2 年Some dcv colis are rated in watts. So watts law is required as well. Handy tool to have is a 12 / 24 volt emf probe. But failing that a screwdriver ?? can be used as mentioned. Amp meter and temp gun are handy as well.
