Key Features

Safety features

The Installation Faults (IF) Pracbox has been designed with safety as a priority. An integrated 24V AC Extra Low Voltage (ELV) power supply allows electrical contractors and apprentices to practise safe isolation procedures in a controlled environment. The unique Mode Selection system separates Fault Mode from Isolation Mode, preventing power from being applied while faults are active.

Compliance

The IF Pracbox supports the development of essential skills required for industry-standard mandatory testing and safe isolation procedures. With 31 fault sets of varying complexity, users can gain practical experience identifying and rectifying installation faults while following correct testing processes. This hands-on approach helps reinforce safe work practices and compliance with current electrical industry training requirements.

Ease of use

Designed for electrical contractors and apprentices, the IF Pracbox is simple to operate and highly portable. Faults are selected using easy-to-use onboard switches, with the active fault set clearly displayed on the integrated screen. No external software or devices are required, allowing quick setup and immediate use. Compact and lightweight, it can be easily transported between classrooms, workshops and job sites.

Benefits

Maintain Currency

The Installation Faults Pracbox helps users stay current by providing practical, hands-on training and assessment opportunities aligned with mandatory testing and safe isolation procedures.

Highly Engaging

The Installation Faults Pracbox is designed to provide realistic fault-finding, mandatory testing and safe isolation scenarios that reflect the tasks electricians encounter in the workplace. With 31 fault sets of varying difficulty and hands-on troubleshooting activities, users remain actively engaged while developing practical skills that are directly relevant to their careers.

Flexible and Portable

Weighing only 8 kg, the Installation Faults Pracbox is ultra-portable. They are ready for flexible training since they have everything required inside, plus the cables. Furthermore, IF Pracboxes are stand-alone devices that don’t need any external devices like computers. This enables practical training anywhere the power is available, whether in a classroom, workshop or even onsite.

What Our Customers Say

The time factor, it's massive. I literally don't have to look for anything. The parts are there, they're all in a box, they basically just grab it and do it. Yeah, it's massive time-saving, huge.

Gary WattieElectrotechnology Trainer at Wodonga TAFE, teaching at Department of Defence

This is a lot more professional, and it was a bit embarrassing before that, but now we've got these boxes.

Paul Kelly Electrotechnology Trainer at Wodonga TAFE, teaching at Department of Defence

If I was to talk to a colleague who didn't have them, I'd say it's a no brainer. Without having it, they're not giving their students the best opportunity, possibly, in my belief.

Patrick Jones Electrotechnology Trainer at ONTTC

What we have found that the pracbox has really increased the apprentice engagement, they start working through each prac and actually understand what it means and how it applies to theory and how it applies to a broader electrical area

Michael CullenFormer Head of Department Electrotechnology and Engineering, Holmeslgen

The pracbox was easy to use and portable. Taking it around the tables in the classroom was no issue. It was great using them, I was happy to come to school to do prac.

Eliya MackleElectrical Apprentice

I felt organised; I felt that it was all laid out for me. It [Pracbox] was easy to set up, it was easy to pack away, and it wasn't a chore. It increased my organisation 100%
