[Workshop] Voltage & Voltage Drop; Loads & Switches; Jumpers & Cheaters on Saturday, April 13th @10 AM Eastern

Who: All tech members at Appliantology: Professional Appliantologists, Senior Appliantology Fellows, Legacy Techs, and Master Samurai Tech Alumni at Appliantology and all students enrolled at the Master Samurai Tech Academy.

What: We’re going to talk about some basic electric circuit topics and troubleshooting techniques that many techs are a little shaky on: 

• Voltage vs. voltage drop- commonly misunderstood and misused but understanding the distinction is crucial for accurately troubleshooting AC circuits.
• Most of the time, we’re troubleshooting circuits composed of loads and switches so if you learn how to troubleshoot just two things- loads and switches- you can troubleshoot virtually any appliance circuit you encounter.
• Jumper wires and cheater cords- essential components in any troubleshooting arsenal- we’ll look at when, how, and why to use each.

Mastering basic concepts like these goes a long way to becoming a competent, consistent troubleshooter. When you have a solid grasp of these foundational concepts, schematics stop being a mystery and become an invaluable diagnostic tool.

Here are a couple tips to ensure that the webinars are a smooth, cool experience for you:

1. Arrive early to make sure your connection is working! Also, if you show up late for the webinar, you'll be lost.

2. Watch this ultra-short video on how to use your Join.me control console while you're in the web meeting because you're gonna wanna do cool stuff like:
- correctly connect your audio (without producing the dreaded echo!) so you and everyone else can hear what the Samurai is explaining
- mute and unmute yourself so we can keep the microphones open and we can all talk
