Electronics Lab: Protection Systems and Measurements

A lab for training on 24 V DC contactors and control circuits. It includes exercises on star-delta starting, reversing, Dahlander circuits, timers, protection devices and panel wiring. Students learn to design, assemble and test control circuits for three-phase motors, with a focus on safety, diagram reading and industrial automation. Ideal for technical and vocational training in electrical engineering, installation and maintenance.

MePA code: ABX-TP2613

About this solution

Learning Objectives

The lab develops technical skills in the design, testing and maintenance of domestic and industrial electrical installations. Students will explore:

The architecture of the public electricity grid and of the internal consumer system.
Selection and installation of protective measures suited to real electrical installations.
Correct use of measuring instruments in accordance with DIN VDE 0100-600.
Performing and interpreting safety measurements: insulation resistance, loop, RCD, impedance.
Drawing up test reports and verifying installations.
Building and wiring electrical distribution boards.

Lab Objectives

The lab sets out to:

Provide practical skills for installing and testing domestic and industrial electrical installations.
Understand the tripping and function of RCDs, miniature circuit breakers and surge protection.
Simulate real electrical faults and assess their impact through precise, documented measurements.
Carry out compliance checks to DIN VDE, IEC and BGV A3, drawing up the test report.
Carry out flush-mounted installations to professional standards.

Educational Aims

The training programme is designed to:

Train qualified technicians able to design, install and test electrical distribution systems safely.
Consolidate knowledge of technical standards and the ability to identify and prevent electrical hazards.
Integrate theory and practice through direct experience on realistic installations.
Instil precision and professional use of instruments, developing a sense of technical responsibility.
Promote skills in planning, customer advice and technical documentation.
