ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS

INTRODUCTION

Within electricity area, there is a space dedicated to design and implementation of electrical installations whether dwellings or civil, public, private building and industrial facilities.

The knowledge on these techniques provides greater opportunity, linking different sectors of industry standard, from public to private sector, to those who possess the necessary knowledge.

The purpose of electrical installations laboratory, is to train students to perform and test electrical installations both civil and industrial, and electrical control techniques. This, on a didactically simple way without neglecting the important aspects of the field.

LABORATORY FEATURES
TECHNICAL-EDUCATIONAL PARTICULARS OF DE LORENZO EQUIPMENT

  • De Lorenzo's philosophy is having equipment with complete industrial features didactically adapted, so student's contact with the educational equipment is as close as they will use in the industry, thereby reducing the gap school-industry by making them more competitive and prepared to adapt to industrial environments from their formation.
 
  • Electrical machines have been overdesigned in at least 30% to handle situations on a continuous overcurrent and short circuit without damaging the windings. (Take into consideration that industrial equipment is designed to work in a permanent state on a continuous period of time and do not tolerate long time failure situations without a quickly degradation).
 
  • For user and equipment safety, are 4 mm high voltage and current signals, while 2 mm connection terminals are for control or low voltage signals.
 
  • The laboratories design is modular, allowing the user to develop new modules and then interact with the De Lorenzo equipment, as well as, to complement it with new modules to extend their practical skills. Modularity avoids obsolescence and a quick and easy maintenance.
 
  • Equipments are delivered with instruction manuals, that at any future time may be requested electronically by the user without charge.

Teachers, through a series of experimentation modules illustrate the class the exercises to perform.

Modules are easily attachable to a frame structure, and contain, visibly, the electrical components mounted on a metal cabinet which front is screenprinted with its electrical symbols, and connection terminals.

Students can do their exercises on two optional forms:

1) Doing the exposed wiring again by the teacher on a similar equipment
2) Using a series of commercial components, to assemble and wire on a fixable panel on a frame, performing the exercises previously illustrated by the teacher.

INSTRUCTION MANUALS

The completion of exercises is provided by educational textbooks surveyed for tutoring. These manuals ensure maximum utilization of equipment, also by non-expert personnel, as they are made with a methodology that highlights the objectives of the test, knowledge required for the projection of the circuit, the practical performing, testing and possible troubleshooting.
