Electrical Fault-Finding Training Rigs
Electrical Fault-Finding Training Rig
Designed to aid in the training of apprentices and technicians, in fault-finding skills. It allows for ‘hands on’ experience with electrical control circuits which incorporate different types of motor starting circuits and relay logic control circuits.
A front mounted control panel simulates what the trainee would be operating in the field and a rear mounted enclosure allows the trainer to induce a selection of pre-set faults. The rig has a 415v supply which transforms down to 24v for the control circuitry. An interlocked Perspex guard is fitted over the front of the panel to prevent trainees from accessing the electrical equipment unless properly isolated and supervised by an instructor.
Components are rail mounted onto a galvanised sheet which clads a polyester powder coated box section frame. The rig is fitted with 4 polyurethane swivel/lockable castors.
The Rig incorporates the following power and control circuits:
- Direct-on-line electric motor power circuit (DOL)
- Direct on line motor control circuit
- DOL motor reversing power circuit
- Motor reversing control circuit
- Motor Star / Delta control circuit
- Variable Speed Drive power and control circuits (VSD), Emergency Stop safety monitoring circuits
- Emergency Stop safety monitoring circuits
- Simulated typical Conveyor controls
- Simulated typical Hydraulic Pump controls
- Simulated typical Pusher Arm controls
- Lamp Test facility
The controls can be customised to simulate conveyors, hydraulic pumps, pusher arm controls etc.
The Rig also has a lamp test facility & is fitted with 2 guarded motors with rotational indication disks to simulate controlled plant.
Where practical, customer can specify the make and types of components to be fitted to the rig.
Electrical Fault-Finding Training Rig (Wind Turbine)
This Rig is designed to aid in the training of apprentices and technicians in fault-finding skills. It allows for ‘hands on’ experience with electrical control circuits which incorporate different types of motor starting circuits and relay logic control circuits.
A front mounted control panel simulates what the trainer would be operating in the field and a rear mounted enclosure allows the trainer to induce a selection of pre‐set faults. The Rig has a 415v supply which transforms down to 24v for the control circuitry. An interlocked Perspex guard is fitted over the front of the panel to prevent trainees from accessing the electrical equipment unless properly isolated and supervised by an instructor.
Components are rail mounted onto a galvanised sheet which clads a polyester powder coated box section frame. Fitted with 4 polyurethane swivel/lockable castors.
Fitted with 3 x electric motors with guarded rotational indication disks to simulate controlled plant. Schneider components are fitted throughout. Motor with Electro‐Mechanical Brake added to the lower right shelf as part of an additional circuit, with Circuit Breaker, Contactor, Thermal Overload Relay and CW/ CCW directional control to simulate driving a Wind Turbine Yaw Gear. This motor to be labelled ‘Yaw Gear Drive’. The Electro‐Mechanical Brake is included to facilitate adding and removing load to this motor, with a visual indicator of current fluctuation. When the Thermal Overload is activated/tripped, a fault light indication will be present on the control panel.
Incorporates the following power and control circuits:
- Direct-on-line electric motor power circuit (DOL)
- Direct-on-line motor control circuit
- Direct-on-line eversing power circuit
