Young Electricians at ZS6COG Fablab

These young students from H/S John Vorster are upskilling themselves in the art and skill of domestic wiring.

 Young MJ fitting a new DIN RAIL into the adapted distribution board.

 Students have to install a working distribution board and subcircuits onto a wooden board to illustrate hand skills and a thorough understanding of DB wiring.

 Phillip is ahead of the pack and almost ready to conduct a continuity and isolation resitance test on his installation.

 Tiaan over here is working on his geyser and stove sub circuit. It is important to note that students huse the correct wire size and thickness gauge as they would in the real world. NO SHORTCUTS here!

 Eben is testing the thickness on the wire guage to ensure he uses the correct thickness in his board.

 Brandon and Gerhard as discussing the next step on BRnadon's board - Installing the DIN rails and Circuit Breakers.

PJ is working on his pipe work and placement of the different components of the wiring board. Each student works at his own tempo and sufficient opportunity is given to individuals to work at their own pace and skills level.
