Electrical shorts not only create intermittent or permanent failures, they are a cause of potential fires.
What is a short? Shorts Occur in a Circuit. Electricity flows in a circuit. A short occurs when the flow of energy moves outside of its intended flow. Whatever the cause of this interruption, you must address a short immediately. If not, the short can be an immediate and direct safety issue and as well as result in a fire.
Potential causes may be:
poor crimping resulting in stray wire strands
solder bridge between contacts
incorrect splices
faulty wiring insulation
improper testing including issues with test fixtures, adapters, test protocols or test program
Potential remedies:
visual inspection of connections for solder, stray stands
visual inspection of connectors and splices
validate designed in current draw to test programs and specifications
ensure test programs account for all potential faults
