So context, I’m a maintenance engineer in training and I’ve been looking up tool that will be handy for various jobs etc. One common suggestion is a piece of wire to bypass a circuit.
What does this mean? I’d ask my supervisor but I’m not sure whether that’s something we would do.
In: Engineering
It is often done to trouble shoot. Take a furnace for example. Circuit goes from furnace to tstat and back. When tstat calls for heat circuit is closed and power is delivered to next component. You can connect a wire directly to the same spot as the tstat wires and bypass the tstat. So instead of going to tstat and back it is a direct connection between the 2 points of contact.
