Providing students with practical skills necessary for operating electric motors. This research project entitled "Development of industrial motor control training board" was conducted to develop and fabricate a training board that is designed for students and trainees; this research aims to build a training board to help the trainees and students learn hands-on training where they can practice and understand the principles of motor control systems, including starting, stopping, speed regulation, direction control, and protection mechanisms, in a safe and controlled setting, to were initially straightforward circuits made up of timers, relays, and other essential electrical component they were primarily used in vocational training programs. Advanced with modern technological improvement, contactors, overload relays, and three-phase induction motor training boards are made with more advanced elements. The majority of typical elements of the industrial motor control training board are a motor control circuit, a power supply, an Inverter, and a wiring connection. These boards are widely utilized in research and development environments, industrial training, and educational institutions because they offer affordable hands-on exposure. Results gathered in terms of prototype testing, with the strength in terms of safety lock durability flexibility and unique power switching method, indicator light, and 3phase circuit breaker are all working and functional. It also uses an Overload relay and emergency stop, which adds safety during overloading and short circuits. Results of the conducted project prototype evaluation from the respondents regarding functionality, aesthetics, workability, efficiency, economy, and safety are given a majority as "Highly Acceptable." This concludes by concluding that the prototype of this project is perfect in performance and design, as it helps to develop practical skills, which eventually increases theoretical knowledge and develops work skills. Using an evaluation sheet, 40 evaluators—who included professors, professionals, and students—assessed the prototype and its entire system based on functionality, workability, time efficiency, economy, aesthetics, and safety. The prototype obtained an average mean rating of “ Highly Acceptable.” This indicates that the Industrial Motor Control Training Board benefits trainees and students.
