Amatrol’s Electrical Wiring Training System (850-MT6B) allows students to study and practice electrical wiring skills like installing control wiring in an electrical panel; installing wiring into limit switches, solenoids, and pressure switches; and understanding the importance of correct wire size, material, and insulation. The 850-MT6B is an invaluable system for careers like electricians and industrial maintenance technicians that wire control panels and operator panels on manufacturing machines. This learning system can also be used to form a strong foundation toward attaining numerous certifications.
The 850-MT6B includes real-world components such as a 3-phase motor, pushbuttons, switches, valves, and a 24VDC power supply all mounted on a mobile workstation. Learners will use these components to study areas like electrical control system wiring, pneumatic control circuit wiring, conductors, disconnects, and overcurrent protection. This combination of industrial components and comprehensive curriculum will reinforce electrical wiring concepts and skills and build up a learner’s confidence and competence.
The 850-MT6B includes heavy-duty industrial components such as a 3-phase, 1/3 HP motor; disconnect switch; side rotary limit switch; manual shut off valve; emergency stop button; push-to-test buttons; and much more all on a mobile workstation! These industrial components can be used to practice an array of hands-on skills like installing a terminal block in an electrical panel; splice motor leads using ring lug connectors; bundle wires in an electrical panel; manually operate an electro-pneumatic valve; and select circuit protection for an application. These real-world components will allow learners to gain confidence and competence in working with equipment they’ll actually see on the job.
The 850-MT6B’s curriculum provides a comprehensive lesson on the function, operation, installation, and construction of electrical wiring and wiring components, as well as forms a strong foundation toward pursuing certifications. This course specifically covers topics such as learning the function of electrical prints, how to select a terminal block for an application, methods used to identify wires that are run between panels, methods to connect wires to terminal screws, the common line and component symbols used in pneumatic schematic diagrams, and common types of disconnects. This learning system’s curriculum is presented in a stunning interactive multimedia format that features 3D animations, graphics, text with audio voice-overs, and much more!
In addition to all of the electrical wiring skills and exercises provided by the 850-MT6B, this learning system offers several optional add-ons to expand the real-work skill-building opportunities. These options include VFD/PLC Training System (85-MT6BA), Industrial Soldering Training System (85-MT6BB), and Ethernet and Analog Wiring Training System (85-MT6BC). The 85-MT6BA will cover how to wire a VFD and PLC to a control panel. The 85-MT6BB will include soldering equipment and components commonly used in electrical connections within a control enclosure. The 85-MT6BC teaches wiring an HMI, analog wiring, and Ethernet cabling into a control panel mounted PLC.
Amatrol's electrical wiring training system features interactive eLearning curriculum that integrates various types of learning methods to create an engaging, effective learning experience. Amatrol’s multimedia eLearning curriculum includes text with voiceovers, videos, 3D animations, pictures, and interactive activities, quizzes, and self-reviews. Specific electrical wiring topics covered include: electrical prints; electrical panels; panel wiring fundamentals; sizing disconnects and overcurrent devices; grounding control systems; internal panel wiring; wiring between electrical panels; wire bundling; wiring a motor; electro-pneumatic valves; pneumatic schematics; and electro-pneumatic system installation. Within these topics, learners will study objectives like installing and testing a circuit breaker in an electrical panel; installing an electric motor circuit using an electrical print; and interpreting an electro-pneumatic power diagram.
Amatrol eLearning is easy-to-use for both students and instructors. Its web-based interface is simple to navigate and available on any WebGL-compatible Internet browser. Instructors love Amatrol eLearning for its simple, yet sophisticated Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS allows instructors to create custom courses, monitor student participation, track course progress, assess knowledge levels prior to a course, and test knowledge levels after completion. Learners appreciate the fact that they can start and stop as needed, moving through each Amatrol course at their own pace. If a self-review reveals that they didn’t understand a particular topic as well as they thought they did, they can revisit it before moving on.
A sample copy of the Electrical Wiring Student Reference Guide is also included with the system for your evaluation. Sourced from the system’s curriculum, the Student Reference Guide takes the entire series’ technical content contained in the learning objectives and combines them into one perfectly-bound book. Student Reference Guides supplement this course by providing a condensed, inexpensive reference tool that learners will find invaluable once they finish their training making it the perfect course takeaway.
