Electrical Systems Lab

Learning objectives

• Design and build civil and industrial electrical systems to CEI standards.
• Acquire hands-on skills installing switchboards, breakers, residual-current devices, protection and control devices.
• Apply electrical safety and accident-prevention regulations.
• Simulate and verify direct-current (DC) and alternating-current (AC) circuits.
• Develop skills in integrating photovoltaic and home-automation systems.
• Use professional measurement instruments to test continuity, insulation and current draw.

Skills developed

• Wiring and installation of three-phase and single-phase civil electrical systems.
• Configuration of switchboards with thermal-magnetic and residual-current protection.
• Reading wiring diagrams and building them on a training board.
• Fault diagnostics with multimeters, clamp meters and network analyzers.
• Integration with home-automation systems, basic PLCs, inverters and microcontrollers.
• Securing systems and verifying compliance with CEI 64-8.

Hands-on exercises (examples)
