Features
These programs contain highly realistic simulations of electrical equipment for the user to practice troubleshooting. Here the user can perform most activities they would perform on actual equipment such as taking meter readings, opening connections and replacing components. While troubleshooting, the programs evaluate and track the user's results and process. The programs also contain a section where an expert guides the user through a systematic troubleshooting approach.

Who Benefits
Both college students and apprentices find these programs increase both their skills and confidence when troubleshooting electrical circuits. Electrical and maintenance personnel also benefit by refining their reasoning process and increasing the effectiveness of their troubleshooting skills, resulting in reduced downtime of equipment.
