Automation Lab – VDE/DGUV Protective Systems and Measures

The training package on network systems and electrical protective measures gives students the fundamental skills for commissioning, testing and maintaining electrical installations in accordance with current regulations. Using experiment boards, professional measuring instruments and complete teaching materials, students learn to manage TN, TT and IT networks, analyse faults and draw up inspection reports in compliance with VDE and DGUV regulations. The hands-on approach, supported by realistic simulations, helps students acquire the operational and problem-solving skills essential in the electrical sector.
