VDE building management: interface, lighting & appliance wiring, fault sim.

Compact, multi-functional, computer-based training equipment for electrical wiring installation and associated protective measures on the topic: “Lighting and appliance circuits”. The system contents include the overarching topics of wiring installation circuits, planning, cabling, installation of wiring, sub-distribution and protective measures conforming to VDE standards. All experiments can be undertaken with fault simulation switched on or off. By combining the various simulated faults, a large number of exercises can be devised.

The hardware is supplemented not only by training software but also by software for planning electrical wiring installations for complete buildings. Built-in product databases encompassing various manufacturers allow for all kinds of plans and lists to be generated and printed out.

The training objectives are structured as follows:

• Training projects, overview
• Producing various documentation
• Training project: Installation of a kitchen according to customer order
• Training project: Installation of a bathroom after detailed meetings with customer
• Training project: Installation of a hall with job planning
• Training project: Installation of a bedroom/nursery according to customer order
• Training project: Sub-distribution with planning and calculation of costs
• Testing of all installations in accordance with DIN VDE 0100 part 600
• Lightning and excess voltage protection
• Documentation, handover and test report

All experiments can be undertaken with fault simulation switched on or off. By combining the various simulated faults, a large number of exercises can devised.
