The Electric Bus Panel Trainer (745-01) from LJ Create provides students with a practical simulation of an electric bus electrical system for demonstration, investigation, and fault finding. The trainer simulates mechanical operation and provides a visual representation of electrical power flow, helping students understand how multiple systems work together in an electric heavy vehicle.
Students can investigate electrical circuits using safe-voltage test points while working with realistic electric bus controls, CAN Bus communication, charging, regenerative braking, and other vehicle systems. With 20 manually or automatically inserted faults, students can progress from system operation and measurement to increasingly complex diagnostic and troubleshooting activities.
Features
- Electric bus system simulation combines mechanical operation with electrical power flow.
- Integrated dashboard and scan tool display operating conditions, diagnostic trouble codes, and real-time CPU data.
- Air brake and accelerator pedals recreate heavy-vehicle control systems.
- High- and low-voltage systems support safe investigation of EV electrical architecture.
- DC fast-charging connection introduces heavy-vehicle charging and communication.
- DC and AC test terminals allow students to perform electrical measurements.
- 20 insertable faults provide extensive electric bus troubleshooting practice.
