Husnen Rupani:
Hi, I am Hus. I’m the CEO of Infinispark. I have more than 12 years of experience in the electrotechnology training industry, so I understand the concerns of compliance, learner attrition, and the increasing demands on trainer’s time. Welcome to the Control Circuit Pracbox video. In this video, I will show you which units the Control Circuit Pracbox is designed for, its portability and flexibility, the innovations like built-in programmable relay, DC supply and motor that cut down trainer’s prep time. The Control Circuit Pracbox is designed for the motor control unit of the Certificate III of electrotechnology. We have chosen its components from the range statement and range of conditions so that you have everything available when you need them. This equipment doesn’t cover the complete unit because some equipment like VSD and braking equipment are not as portable, but the Control Circuit Pracbox can cover more than 70% of practice in this unit. We have installed a wide variety of controls in the Control Circuit Pracbox. Let’s go over them now.

So starting from this side, we have some controls. These two are start-stop buttons, a push button with normally open and normally closed contact, a selector switch with normally open and normally closed contact, and an emergency stop again, with normally open and normally closed contacts. Here we have a sensor that’s a 24-volt inductive sensor, but it’s a three-wire sensor. Here we have a fork sensor that’s also 24 volts, but it’s a four-wire sensor. Here we have two limit switches. We’ve got four LEDs as pilot lamps. We have two multifunction timers that have eight functions. We have three contactor coils with three auxiliary contacts and thermal overloads on them. And on this side we have a programmable relay that is powered internally. On this side, we have a 3 phase ELV motor that you can use for start-stop, you can use for forward-reverse and other motor practice that you have for controlled circuits.

At this point, we have 24-volt output that you can use to power up these inductive and fork sensors, or you can use them to have an input for the programmable relays. The programmable relay has eight discrete input or digital inputs and four relay outputs. Software for this is Zelio Soft, and that’s free to install for PC, so your students will be able to program it at home and then come to the class, download the program, and then operate the programmable relay. Since you have almost all things inside the pracbox, you don’t need a dedicated classroom or workshop for this. You can use it anywhere you have 3 phase extra-low voltage supply.

If combined with our product called Portaphase, you will be able to use it even meeting rooms. This offers extreme portability and flexibility. Usually programmable relays are installed separately to the contactors. Since this comes built-in with the controlled circuit pracbox, you save time on setup. Certain programmable relays need DC supply and the contactors need AC supply. The built-in DC supply powers the programmable relay internally to offer you more convenience. Not only that, but it also provides a supply for DC devices like sensors and inputs for the programmable relay. Another innovation here is a built-in 3 phase extra-low voltage motor, which also saves on the setup time because it’s ready to go.

Jo O’Mahoney:
It’s all well and good to just calculate and see, but you need to do to learn and also using test equipment. If you’re not using test equipment, you’re not instilling foundation skills into the main aim of completing your course and actually knowing what current voltage resistance and power is. If you can’t test, you don’t know.

Husnen Rupani:
We offer ongoing phone and email support so you will always feel supported. Our aim at Infinispark is to work with you to maintain compliance, increase learner engagement, and give the trainers back some time. Please get in touch with us to see how we can work together.

Thanks for watching.
