// THE SIMULATOR

Built like the panel.
Runs in the browser.

Practice that doesn't wait for the workshop. Apprentices want to keep practising in the evenings between sessions — anywhere a panel isn't. The simulator fills that gap, giving every learner unlimited panel time.

Every connection is checked against the correct reference circuit. The tool fault-finds exactly which connections are right, which are missing, and which shouldn't be there. The same feedback an assessor would give.

// FAQ

Common questions.

01WHICH CIRCUITS ARE COVERED?+
Six core motor control circuits: Direct On-Line (DOL), Single-Phase Forward/Reverse, Three-Phase Forward/Reverse, Automatic Star-Delta (Neutral Return), Automatic Star-Delta (Line-to-Line), and Three-Phase Sequence Start. More circuits are being added — kWh metering, solar wiring, UPS backup — and each one is validated against the wiring conventions used across SA training.
02IS THIS AN OFFICIAL NAMB ASSESSMENT?+
No. This is a practice tool, not an official NAMB assessment. The circuits, terminal numbering, and validation logic match the conventions used in South African trade test preparation — SANS 10142 and IEC 60617 — so what you practise here is what you'll wire on test day. But the official trade test is administered by NAMB.
03DO I NEED TO INSTALL ANYTHING?+
Nothing. The simulator runs in any browser on desktop or mobile. No download, no setup. Wire your first circuit within a minute of signing up.
04HOW DOES IT WORK FOR TRAINING CENTRES?+
Per-seat licensing at wholesale, with an instructor dashboard showing which students have practised what. You assign seats to your learners via invite codes, bundle the cost into your course fee at whatever price works for you, and reassign seats between cohorts as students complete. Contact us for a quote based on your cohort size.
05WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I VALIDATE A CIRCUIT?+
Every connection you've drawn is checked against the correct reference. You get a score (e.g. 44/44), and a breakdown of correct connections, missing connections, and any extra wires — exactly the fault-finding detail you need to fix the wiring, not just a pass/fail.
06CAN I TRY IT BEFORE COMMITTING TO A MONTH?+
There's no free trial, but Individual Quick Access gives you full functionality for R50 over 5 days — enough to wire every circuit and try the quiz before deciding on the monthly plan.
07DOES THIS ALIGN WITH THE CAPS CURRICULUM?+
The motor control circuits in the simulator align with the CAPS Electrical Technology Power Systems content in Grade 11 and Grade 12 — single-phase motor applications, three-phase motor starters, and star-delta starting methods. Useful for NSC exam preparation and PAT support, alongside trade test preparation.
