WireMate one-way lighting circuit

Can you wire this correctly?

One supply. One switch. One lamp. Your turn.

Try the real WireMate terminals, cable colours, power animation and circuit checking before creating an account.

  • Tap two terminals to connect a wire.
  • Use active and neutral cable colours.
  • Turn on power and check your circuit.

Build real circuits

Practise the layouts apprentices actually need to understand.

One main simulator view at a time keeps the page calm while showing the real product.
One-way lighting
WireMate one-way light circuit through breaker

One-way lighting

Practise a breaker, switch and light layout using the real WireMate simulator workspace.

Fan controller circuits
WireMate fan controller wiring simulator

Fan controller circuits

Work through a fan controller path with realistic component terminals and readings.

TAFE-style examples
WireMate series-parallel TAFE circuit simulator

TAFE-style examples

Study series-parallel circuits and practical layouts before trying them yourself.

Make wiring neat

Turn complex wiring into a cleaner path.

Neat Mode makes busy circuits easier to follow without changing the circuit itself.
  • Compare messy and cleaned-up layouts.
  • Keep terminals, loads and switching paths readable.
  • Use the same real simulator circuit before and after.

Wiring standards

Practise with Australian wiring concepts in mind.

WireMate is designed for study practice around circuit logic, protection, earthing, testing and fault-finding themes connected to AS/NZS 3000:2018, the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules.

AS/NZS 3000:2018 aware

Practise circuit logic around protection, earthing, testing and verification themes connected to the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules.

Built for study practice

Use WireMate to build confidence before applying official standards, workplace procedures and supervised training.

Safety-first simulator

WireMate is simulation only. It does not make real equipment safe and it does not replace licensed supervision, RTO material or the official standard.

Practice hub

Find the WireMate topic that matches what you are trying to learn.

Clear topic pages help apprentices jump straight into wiring simulator practice, two-way switching, testing, fault-finding and training examples.

Measure and test

Connect readings to what is happening in the circuit.

Use real simulator visuals for voltage measurement, ammeter practice and meter-probe placement.

Complex switching

Show busy switching without losing the thread.

Four-gang examples demonstrate how WireMate can help learners follow multiple loads, switch outputs and returns.
  • Practise multi-gang switching layouts.
  • See why tidy routing matters.
  • Keep the electrical story visible.

Fault-finding

Introduce a fault, inspect the circuit, then use hints to diagnose it.

WireMate supports practical fault-finding practice while still making clear that real electrical work requires supervised training.

Testing hint
WireMate fault-finding testing hint

Practise the fault-finding habit.

Inspect the symptom, follow the conductors, use testing hints, and learn how to explain the likely problem.

WireMate is an educational low-voltage simulator and does not replace licensed electrical training or supervision.
