Electrical and Electronics Training by
DAC Worldwide
Electrical skills are foundational to virtually every industrial career. Whether the path leads to industrial maintenance, process operations, advanced manufacturing, power generation, oil and gas, or the military, workers who cannot operate, wire, troubleshoot, and safely lock out electrical systems are not prepared for the job. Those skills do not develop from textbooks alone. They require hands-on practice with real equipment, in configurations that replicate the industrial environments where those skills will actually be used.
DAC Worldwide's electrical and electronics training systems, cutaways, and dissectibles are built specifically for that purpose. From basic AC and DC circuit fundamentals through motor controls, transformer wiring, AC variable frequency drives, and PLC programming, DAC Worldwide covers the full range of industrial electrical skills that maintenance technicians, electricians, and process operators need to perform effectively and safely in the field.
Klein Educational supplies DAC Worldwide electrical and electronics training equipment to industrial maintenance programs, advanced manufacturing programs, community colleges, and workforce development centers across California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, and Alaska. We help programs find the right systems for their curriculum and get them delivered.
What DAC Worldwide electrical and electronics training covers
DAC Worldwide's electrical and electronics product line is structured to serve training programs at every level, from foundational AC and DC circuit skills through advanced motor control, drive systems, and PLC applications. The training systems are designed as self-contained, task-focused learning platforms built with full-size, industrial-quality components and high-durability powder-coated surfaces that stand up to repeated classroom and lab use. Each system is sized and configured for individual or small-group study and includes student training manuals, hands-on exercises, and instructor fault switches for real-time troubleshooting practice.
Basic electricity training
The Modular Basic Electricity Training System provides a comprehensive introduction to AC and DC electrical principles through 43 hands-on activities covering terminology, circuit design, component examination and testing, and background theory. The modular panel and rack system creates working voltages of 24VAC and 24VDC through a built-in circuit breaker, transformer, and internal power supply, making it safe for learners to work with real circuits throughout the training process. Learners practice skills including voltage measurement, resistor circuits, power supply filters, clipper circuits, full-wave bridge rectification, and circuit troubleshooting. The system includes individual application panel assemblies and solderless breadboard panels, and is designed for expansion as training programs grow. The Modular Basic Electricity Training System Plus adds comprehensive courseware including a student training manual and an Electricity and Electronics textbook with more than 40 hours of instruction content.
Motor control training
DAC Worldwide's motor control training systems are single-topic trainers that give learners focused, intensive practice in the operation, wiring, fault troubleshooting, and application of specific motor starter and control configurations. Systems are available for single-phase AC motors with manual starters, single-phase AC motors with magnetic starters, three-phase AC motors with manual starters, three-phase AC motors with magnetic starters, and three-phase reversing magnetic starters with low voltage start capability. Each system is self-contained with redundant safety systems including a keyed instructor power switch, circuit breaker with lockout/tagout capability, emergency stop switch, and internal grounding, and all equipped components are UL and CE certified. The single-topic format makes these trainers particularly effective for pre-employment skill assessment and targeted upskilling of incumbent workers who need to develop competency in a specific motor control configuration.
The AC Variable Frequency Drive Training System uses an industrial 3-phase motor paired with an Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 40 variable frequency drive to teach AC drive programming, system troubleshooting, control wiring, and industry-relevant application skills. Course content covers topics including minimum and maximum frequency, jog parameters, skip frequency bandwidth, acceleration and deceleration timing, PID control loops, and fault diagnostics through eight fault insertion switches. The Permanent Split Capacitor AC Motor Training System covers this common commercial and industrial motor type used in HVAC, fans, blowers, and pump applications.
Transformer wiring training
The Transformer Wiring Training System teaches safe, hands-on skills in transformer connections using low-voltage outputs that simultaneously simulate high-voltage behavior. The system replicates single-phase transformer connections and both delta-wye three-phase transformer configurations, with all transformers built into the unit and the middle unit representing six different generator configurations. Learners practice ground connections, primary and secondary side connections, and parallel transformer connections, with eight built-in instructor fault switches for real-time troubleshooting assessment.
PLC training
The Basic PLC Training System uses an Allen-Bradley Micro850 PLC to provide self-directed instruction in industrial PLC programming and application. The Extended PLC Trainer provides a multi-use platform for instruction in industrial PLC programming across a broader range of applications and configurations. Both systems reflect the Allen-Bradley platform that is standard across industrial environments, ensuring that programming skills developed in training translate directly to the PLC systems learners will encounter on the job.
Electrical lockout/tagout training
The Electrical Lockout/Tagout Training System is a portable tabletop trainer that provides hands-on practice in identifying and locking out sources of dangerous electrical energy, with all lockout/tagout activities performed at reduced 24VDC voltage for enhanced learner safety. The system includes real-world lockout/tagout devices including clamp-on circuit breaker lockouts for 480/600V and 120/277V configurations, a wall switch lockout, knife-type disconnect switch, IEC rotary safety switch, 3-in-1 plug lockout, and universal multipole breaker lockout, along with a toolbox with a complete set of locking and tagging devices.
Electrical generation training
The Electrical Generation Fundamentals Training System is a true simulator depicting multiple power plants on an electrical grid, representing a control center for a generating station that simulates four separate generating units. This advanced system serves power generation and utility training programs that need to develop the specialized skills required for managing electrical generation and grid operations.
Flange bolt torquing training
The Flange Bolt Torquing Trainer provides hands-on practice in the proper procedures for torquing flange bolts, a critical maintenance skill in process facilities where improperly torqued flanges create leaks, safety hazards, and unplanned shutdowns. The Flange Bolt Torquing Training System Plus extends this training with additional courseware and accessories.
Electrical and electronics cutaways and dissectibles
DAC Worldwide's electrical and electronics cutaway line gives learners a direct view inside the components they will work with throughout their careers, including single-phase and three-phase transformers, AC motors, generators, circuit breakers, and other electrical components whose internal construction is otherwise completely inaccessible. The Single-Phase Transformer Cutaway shows a common shell-type industrial transformer, and the Three-Phase Transformer Cutaway depicts a coaxially-wound delta-wye configuration found across industrial and commercial applications. Electrical dissectibles include pressure control switch and pressure switch samples that give learners hands-on experience with the sensing devices used in process and industrial control systems.
