The Bus and Truck Charging Stations Panel Trainer (746-01) from LJ Create provides a practical simulation of a multi-vehicle heavy electric vehicle charging station. Designed around public and private sector charging systems for buses and goods vehicles, the trainer helps students understand how electrical power is managed and delivered across heavy-duty EV charging infrastructure.
Students can visualize electrical power flow, simulate bus and goods vehicle charging, and perform DC and AC circuit measurements using safe-voltage test points. The system also incorporates 16 manually or automatically inserted faults, allowing students to develop diagnostic and fault-finding skills around realistic charging station malfunctions.
