¡Cortocircuitos! Métodos para localizarlos. Siguiendo la corriente.

In this video, I'll show you different procedures for locating short circuits without having to disconnect wires in various junction boxes. The first method involves using a lamp and a leakage clamp to detect the path a small, non-hazardous current (from the LED lamp) takes to reach the short circuit. This method is quite old, and although it may seem untechnical, it easily solves the problem. The second method is similar, but instead of a lamp, we'll use a capacitor and the leakage clamp. Finally, we'll use the most professional method, the one most professionals use: a multifunction device, in this case, the Megger MFT X1. We'll measure the circuit's insulation and then use the low-resistance measurement method. This method injects 200 mA of DC current with dual polarity, ensuring a more accurate measurement. We also used our famous leak detection clamp, the PLC Madrid special edition. It's important to note that this clamp isn't DC; it detects a very low current, but it's sufficient to distinguish whether current is flowing through the circuit or not. This allows us to trace the current until we find the fault. I hope you find it useful. Materials used in the video: Megger MFT-X1: https://www.elinstaladorelectricista....
