Targeted fault-finding on industrial vehicles with internal combustion engines

Need to find out what’s gone wrong with a machine that has an internal combustion engine? Then this course is for you. In ‘Targeted fault-finding for industrial vehicles with internal combustion engines’, you’ll learn how to perform diagnostics using electrical diagrams. It’s ideal for engineers who perform maintenance and repairs on machines with internal combustion engines. There are no prerequisites, although a basic understanding of the electrical aspects of machines with internal combustion engines will benefit you. This 2-day course consists of both theoretical and practical lessons. You’ll find out all there is to know about electrical diagrams of machines with internal combustion engines, discover how to find different components on a diagram, and learn how to diagnose faults using the electrical diagram and a multimeter.

TARGET GROUP

Engineers who perform maintenance and repairs on internal combustion machines.
Engineers who want to gain an insight into performing diagnostics by means of electrical diagrams.

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

Prior knowledge of electricity on/in internal combustion machines is an asset, not a requirement.

GOAL

To gain an insight into electrical diagrams of internal combustion machines.

CONTENT

Theory:

Electrical diagrams
- Startup of the machine
- Common sensors on internal combustion engines
- Charging system
- Valve control
- Diagram analysis

Practice:

Using an electrical diagram and multimeter to locate faults:
- Engine doesn't start
- Alternator doesn't work
- Short circuit
- Leakage currents
- Machine doesn't lift/drive
