Ken’s Board Faults introduced by3 x 9 Gangswitches Contacts oxidise, and as a result a high resistance is introduced into the circuit Limited number of faults can be introduced into the circuit Very good at developing fault finding techniques in students in realistic scenario Next
Allan’s Board Faults introduced bySeparate Fault CardPlugged into a socket All conductors are cut at this set of sockets All circuit conductors from every circuit can be modified Next
Board Contains Hot Water & RangeCircuit Power Circuit Mixed Circuit Light Circuit Next
Hot Water&Range Circuit Circuit to load is as per all other circuits Terminates with flying leads Load characteristics can be modified by the fault card Next
Fault Socket B&R Enclosure PJ221507 2 x 3mm groves are routered into the box lid Socket PCB is inserted into slots from the back of the lid Clamped into position by an insulated metal plate Next
Fault Socket Vero Board Jaycar Part No HP 9544 Cardboard acting as insulation 3mm Mild steel with 3/16” threads cut into each corner Socket Strips Farnell Part No 9728856 3/16” Screws Installed from the front of the lid B&R Enclosure PJ221507 Lid Next
Socket Pin-Outs From Switchboard Only Half of the socket is used From Loads This allows the fault card to be spun around and a second set of faults can be introduced Next

CB Enclosure Load side of CBs are easily accessible By using a 4mm2 (yellow) crimp lug and crimping a 2.6mm Brass welding rod in it Next
CB Enclosure Neutrals are easily removed By the use of turned plugs Cable should be min of 50 strand for flexibility Next
Improvements • Add/incorporate a handle into board Next
Improvements • Add/incorporate a handle into board • Add spacers in-between clamping plate and back of lid The front of the lid between the screws tends to bow outward Next
Improvements • Add/incorporate a handle into board • Add spacers in-between clamping plate and back of lid • Pass the socket connecting wires through PCB before soldering Solder Next
