Wiring similation program to learn ?

[shocksl]

Does anyone know any programs or apps that I can use /purchase to learn wiring etc.

I am studying level 1 at the moment

Suggest you get hold of these:

Practical Guide to Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations: Amazon.co.uk: Kitcher, Christopher: 9781138613324: Books

Buy Practical Guide to Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations 5 by Kitcher, Christopher (ISBN: 9781138613324) from Amazon's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Requirements for Electrical Installations, IET Wiring Regulations, Eighteenth Edition, BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 (Electrical Regulations): Amazon.co.uk: The Institution of Engineering and Technology: 9781839532184: Books

Buy Requirements for Electrical Installations, IET Wiring Regulations, Eighteenth Edition, BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 (Electrical Regulations) by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (ISBN: 9781839532184) from Amazon's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

One important thing to understand is that the "IET Wiring Regulations" are not statutory therefore have no standing under law, they are a recommended standard only.

It says the pages can not be found...also I need some app that let's me play with wiring and circuits. Do you know of any ?

 

[Mike Johnson]

Re-posted links, and I don't know of any app's that will help.

And try to get hold of a copy of "Unite the Union" "The Electricians Guide to Inspection and testing" better than anything offered by IET etc:

The Practical Guide by Kitcher posted above is based on the C&G course with exam samples questions and answers so could be ideal.

I think the OP is looking for some graphical software for PC or whatever where you can place batterys, switches, lights etc, connect up with drawn lines and the light will change state when the switches are operated on screen.
You could also virtually take volt and amp readings at any point on the drawn circuit.

I seem to remember using something at uni 20 years ago, but my memory escapes me…

Very likely had “…..SIM….” In the title somewhere.

Look on educational resources for physics software… I’ll ask my kids, but none of them took physics.

This is exactly what I'm.looking for

LS, Multisim may be the one you are thinking of.

OP - there are quite a few free circuit simulators on the web, I'd have a look and see what you find suits you best. They are usually biased towards electronic applications, but you will still be able to place switches and loads, and use virtual voltmeter and ammeters.

Let us know how you get on.

I've tried looking for them. But can't seem to find any. Maybe I'm searching it wrong as I'm fairly new to this. I need 1 that show the wires ie live, neutral, earth

Can you please direct me to 1 or 2 please ?

There is LTsplice, but this is an electronic circuit simulator, if this is what you are after.....

I don't know of any which are intended for specifically what you are asking. But basic circuits such as switching, lamps, etc. can be created.

Yeah this is what I need.
Which do you recommend ?

As one of our venerable members on here would say "Its only wires and stuff" domestic circuits are very basic and easy to follow in any book, look at the Unite site guide, lots of diagram's and colour coded.

I don't mind the wires, it's the rest of the stuff that's tricky

Sparky ninja with NET is a really good app for learning how to test

This might be the sort of thing, though I don't know how 'complete' it is. I'm not specifically recommending it as I have no experience of it, or knowledge of its security or privacy features. It does seem to have been created with the right intentions.

More for electronics really, but may be of interest.
