Level 18 of 33 · Electrical lab

Draw your first circuit

Level 18 of 33 in the Electrical lab: a free panel wiring exercise at Foundation level. Draw a lamp, a switch and a breaker in our CAD, with tags and wire numbers.

FoundationNot started

Goal

Draw a 230 V lamp circuit: supply L1, a 6 A breaker, a one-way switch, the lamp, and the neutral back.

What you do

  1. Any neat layout passes. The checker compares your connections with the reference and tells you what is missing in plain words.

Done when

The level is marked automatically. It checks.

  • Your connections match the reference, whatever the layout
  • Tags follow your drawing standard
  • Every wire has a number
