CircuitWise UK is a free, browser-based educational tool covering UK domestic electrical wiring. It includes an interactive circuit canvas, a library of written articles, and practice puzzles. The site is provided “as is” and we may change, suspend or discontinue any part of it at any time without notice.

3. Educational purpose only
