KEMPF TRAINING SYSTEM:
For Industrial, Commercial & Vocational Electrical
Training
Tll Technical Education Systems' Kempf Troubleshooting Training
Center (KTS-100) is a complete program of hardware and
instructional materials for learning how to troubleshoot modern
industrial/commercial motor and relay control systems. Designed as a
self-paced, individualized learning program requiring only nominal
facilitation, the Training System presents in-depth explanations of how motor
control circuits operate and provides practical hands-on experience for
wiring, operating, and troubleshooting these circuits. For testing
comprehension, this system uses forty fault switches to provide important
proficiency development exercises for high skill training.
The new advanced Troubleshooting Training Center provides hands-on
applications for all industrial motor control circuits. The training system
uses a basic approach needed for novices, a more thorough approach for
apprentices, and a refresher for more experienced electricians.
Troubleshooting concepts are developed quickly and advanced lessons are
designed to challenge the skill of the most experienced electricians.
Every minute of production downtime is lost profit. To make a significant
reduction in downtime, electricians must have a high degree of skill in
locating control circuits-faults rapidly.
Stacking type patch cords are used to rapidly interconnect heavy duty panel
components into a variety of motor control circuits. Trainees construct
circuits by following a wiring list that supplies color of patchcord to be
used and jack numbers to be connected.
Wiring, operation, and faults in these circuits are identical
to circuits used in industrial plants.
Applications include industrial plants for troubleshooting production
equipment; commercial buildings for troubleshooting heating, air conditioning
and water systems; and, vocational and technical education using industry
oriented programs which bring relevancy to training, improving employment
opportunities.
SPECIFICATIONS
The TII Kempf Troubleshooting System has three front panels mounted at 15,
60, and 90 degrees for best viewing angles. The Rear Panel is recessed to
protect fault switches. The Test Timer is spring wound, 0 to 30 minutes and
is mounted on back panel for timing proficiency development exercises. The
size of the unit is 20" wide, 19 1/4" deep, and 14 3/4" high. The Training
Center weighs 40 pounds, and the accessory package weighs 8 pounds.
A protective cover for the unit is also included.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION AND SAFETY
A main breaker protects the 115-volt primary circuit of the control
transformer and the 115-volt drive motor. A 24-volt circuit breaker with
zero delay protects all of the wiring performed by the trainee on the front
panel. If an accidental short circuit or electrical overload occurs during
wiring, a fast acting, zero delay control circuit breaker "trips" to
interrupt the circuit.
OTHER COMPONENTS
CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS
Heavy duty, military specification tip jacks and stacking type patch cords
are used to interconnect panel components into a wide variety of motor
control circuits. These circuits can be constructed rapidly and are
identical to circuits actually used in industrial plants.
The panel consists of 82 tip jacks, and 32 stacking type patch cords.
FAULT SWITCHES
Forty single pole, double throw, 3 position, flat handle toggle switches are
mounted on the rear panel. The switches are used to set "short circuit" or
"open circuit" faults into panel circuits. Trainees wire circuits to improve
retention of material covered and practice sessions are provided to develop
proficient troubleshooters. In these sessions, the trainee will be working
with 77 faults and potentially hundreds of combinations.
The facilitator can set fault switches randomly to "bug" circuits wired on
the front panel. Troubleshooting performance is based on the number of
faults correctly identified in a given time period. Proficiency training
develops a high degree of skill in troubleshooting actual control circuits.
Practice sessions are repeated as often as necessary to bring
troubleshooting skills up to acceptable levels.
CURRICULUM
The Troubleshooting trainer comes with an instruction manual and an
instructor's guide. The latter provides ideas and suggestions for getting
maximum benefit from the program. To provide a common starting point, the
program begins at an elementary level. Every trainee, regardless of previous
experience can benefit from these early lessons. Troubleshooting concepts
are developed rapidly and later lessons are designed to challenge the skill
of the most experienced electricians. Learning is presented in a simple to
complex building block approach. Knowledge learned in one lesson is
immediately applied in the next lesson to develop working circuits. Twelve
lessons are provided to cover all of the standard motor control circuits
generally used in industrial plants. These are:
1. Basic Control Circuits
