Room 5 – Blue Panels
Room 5 contains panels which provide both teachers and students the opportunity to study the behaviour and measure the performance of electrical circuits and components plus practical activities for lighting and power factor correction.
The panels provide an integrated workstation, where electrical circuits can be built, tested and evaluated, with all the necessary equipment contained in one safe enclosure.
