Training Systems for Electrical Wiring Installation

Advances in technology …
New technologies for electrical wiring require new training sys

tems. Innovations like the increasing use of planning software, bus
technologies and networking are only some examples of how this
profession is changing. Due to the utmost high demands placed on
electrical trainees nowadays, there is a need for modern, practically
oriented training systems.
… are having a huge impact on training

and education.
Giving trainees the ability to work on their own and in professional
fashion is one of the key aims of any training. The new aspects
involved in an electrical career and the change in orientation of the
topics to be learned mean that more weight is being given to the
practical side of training. The combination of new teaching media
and experiment systems is also playing an ever-more important
role, since self-guided learning via project work based on authentic
practice gives the best grounding for teaching practical skills that
will stay with students throughout their careers.

Experimenting, Learning, Testing and Understanding

To get an idea of the functionality and safety of existing systems, they first need to be put into operation. After this, extensive tests
should be made. Often all the documentation needs to be amended or redone completely. Afterwards fault analysis and rectification
need to be carried out and a handover report must be made according to applicable standards. The high degree of responsibility that
the tester has towards the customer is underlined by the fact that the tester’s signature must appear on the test report.

Training Panel Systems –

Perfect for Modular Education
Versatility and Flexibility Thanks to Modular Design
Flexible
Whether teaching at the front of a classroom or conducting
practical student experiments, the training panel system allows
you to use a variety of teaching methods. The height of the
training panels matches the height of A4 pages so that the
panels are easy to mount into stands.
One of the key points of the LN training systems is their link to
authentic practice. All LN training systems are designed using
components common to industry. Measurements are made
using conventional measuring instruments, too.
Modular
The familiar DIN A4 dimensions, coupled with a console-shaped
housing make for a universal training platform that can be used
on its own or with other training systems.
Set-up times are reduced to a minimum to allow optimal use of
lesson time.

Safety
All the necessary connections are made via safety sockets. All
voltages in the safety extra-low voltage range (as per VDE 0100)
are handled via 2 mm safety sockets. Any voltage above this
range uses 4 mm safety plugs.
Understandable
The new, colourful generation of panels makes the design of the
front surface even easier to understand, even including photo-
realistic printing.
During the development of LN training panels, specific attention
was paid to printing standard symbols on the panels and ensur
ing the connecting terminals also met the standards.

Installation Board – Mains Quality and Neutral Conductor Loading

Non-sinusoidal current consumption by electronic equipment, start-up of large motors or asymmetric distribution of load or
switching equipment can all lead to damaging feedback effects on a mains system, leading to poor mains quality. Problems you
might cause yourself, such as choosing incorrect wire cross-sections, failure to conform to selectivity measures or wrong laying of
PEN conductors, can also lead to similar symptoms and loss of quality. In order to recognise and evaluate the effects, it is essential
to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the mains network based on measurements.

When interchangeable frames are used, suspended punched

hole panels can easily be used by hanging them in front of the
aluminium profile frames.
This allows rapid exchanging of training panels and punched

hole panels.
Punched hole panels with their own base are available in several
variants, for table top with an L-shaped base or a table-top
frame with a T-shaped base, either with the lowest rail touching
the ground or for installation under a power channel system.
It is possible to enter the installation cabin, which then serves as

a basis for assembly projects in an authentic environment.

Use of Measuring Instruments

The measuring equipment for the power supply and building wiring installation modules is used for two main purposes:
• Measurement and testing of electrical appliances

• Initial and subsequent measurements on the installation as a whole
All these measurements/tests may only be carried out by experienced and qualified technicians.
Lucas-Nülle training systems help prepare trainees for making these highly safety-relevant measurements.
94
Lucas-Nülle
On-site measurement and testing of fixed installations:

PC-based Data Acquisition and Management

The Electric Testing Center (ETC) supports seamless communication between PROFITEST Master testers and PCs. The PROFITEST M
can process individual testing structures which have previously been created with the help of ETC on a PC. Once they have been
uploaded they are reflected 1:1 on the tester itself. This means any structure can be assembled from any number of objects: number
and type of customers, buildings, distribution boxes, circuits and RCDs can be selected at will. After the measurements have been
made, they can be transferred back to the PC, where a test report can automatically be generated from the results.

Decisive Product Benefits
… for Long-term Customer Satisfaction
“
Zdravko Djuric, teacher at the Otto Brenner vocational college in Hanover:
“Use of the InsTrain systems in the teaching of wiring installation has absolutely benefited our students.
Topics that are usually difficult for students to grasp such as VDE measurements, electrical installations and mains systems need not be
taught merely on a theoretical level any more, but can be supplemented by practical work using the InsTrain systems.
This link between theory and practice means that lots of lessons can be designed in thoroughly new and more interesting ways, which
is highly motivating for our students.
At the moment we are using the “Building Service Entry” and “Lighting and Appliance Circuits” wiring installation training systems
from the InsTrain range and these cover some key topics.
”
Our experience shows that the educational concept and flexible design of the InsTrain systems enable teachers to continually change
the situations in which people are learning and so make them interesting and challenging, all of which improves the effectiveness of
teaching. It also boosts the involvement of students, which is highly important for understanding the material.”
