ABSTRACT:
An instrument used for the live troubleshooting of short circuits in electronic equipment. This instrument has a current indicator, an adjustment to set the maximum current and electrical connectors. The short circuited line on the equipment to be repaired is opened and the connectors are connected, in order to complete the circuit. The instrument is adjusted to deliver a maximum current which is safe for the equipment when the equipment is functioning normally. The technician will now be able to troubleshoot the live circuit without causing further damage.
