Wire and test a 415 volt control panel. This is the Panel Lab, free. You get a schematic and a wiring schedule. Wire the control side terminal by terminal. Before you touch it, isolate. Switch off the isolator, then lock it and tag it. Now prove it dead. Test the meter on a live source, test the panel, test the meter again. A wrong wire leaves its line grey on the schematic, and the panel behaves wrongly. Remove the lock and tag, restore power and press start. The PLC runs the program. There are ten levels, from a pump starter to a packing cell, including fault-finding jobs. Each level ends in a factory acceptance test and a report. Open the lab free.
