The project

You join Halvern Power Design Ltd (simulated company)

Halvern Power Design Ltd (simulated company) is a electrical design consultancy in Leeds. You help its team deliver a project for Wendmoor Creamery Ltd (simulated company), at Utilities Block U-3, Wendmoor Creamery.

Wendmoor Creamery is building a new utilities block and has asked Halvern Power Design to design the electrical supply, protection and cabling. You join the design team in week one with a half-finished load list. By the end of week one you have checked the loads, sized the cables and reviewed a drawing. Later, a 75 kW pump arrives late and moves the transformer, the boards, the fault levels and the cables. You carry the change through every document, face a contractor pressing you to energise early, and hand over the pack.

The people in the story are roles, such as Lead Engineer, not real people.

What you will do

By the end you will have

  • Build a load list and work out maximum demand and transformer loading
  • Size cables for current rating and voltage drop, and review a cable schedule
  • Check fault levels, discrimination and earth fault loop impedance
  • Handle a late client change through every affected document
  • Hand over a design pack that someone else can build from

Day by day

The plan, ticket by ticket

Self-paced. A day opens when you hand in the previous day's tickets.

Questions

Quick answers

Do I need design software?

No. Everything is done in the browser with schedules, tables and calculation fields.

Which standards does the simulation follow?

It follows the ideas of BS 7671 and IEC 60364, IEC 61439 and the IEC 60909 method. Cable data in the exercise is simplified, so use the real tables on a real project.

How long does the free week take?

About nine hours of active work over five working days.

What do I get in the Premium edition?

The full four-week project with the late pump change, site faults, a capstone design pack reviewed by an engineer, and an AI viva.

Is this a real job?

No. It is a job simulation at a simulated company. It is not employment.

Is the Electrical Design Engineer job simulation free?

Yes, to start. Days 1 to 5 are free. The certificate and the Premium edition are optional and are priced on this page in your currency.

Does it count as work experience?

It shows on your EDWartens profile under Work experience, marked as a job simulation. It is not employment. A job simulation is a realistic training project at a simulated company. It is not employment, an internship or a work placement. Hours are active hours the learner logged on EDWartens.
