This question is specifically looking at your technical capability and your ability to think on your feet to resolve issues. Try to think of a specific example where you had to troubleshoot an alarm or trip circuit and explain the steps you took to solve the problem.

Elizabeth Engler

"I have had to troubleshoot tripped circuits before, both on the job and at home. There were times where it wasn't obvious why the trip had occurred, even though it's usually a pretty straightforward fix. After going down the line and checking each connection, I found out it was a short circuit and that I would need some time to repair it. Sometimes it can be an easy and quick solution, and other times it really tests my technical capability as far as figuring out the source of the issue."
