Demonstraton Electric Bell

Description

With driving wheel, to generate current, mounted on polished wood base with driving wheel in vertical position, a lamp holder and a lamp. Output DC Current Output both DC and AC current

Description

For Westminster Electromagnetic Kit giving 1 V full wave rectified DC and 1 V / 2 V AC outputs at 8 A max. The circuit diagram is printed on the top panel which also carries mains switch, light indicator and output sockets for DC and AC With 1.5 meter mains detachable cable.

Description

Comprising 1 welding coil of 5 turns on former with insulated handle and short-circuiting pins,1 annular melting trough with insulated handle to show heating by induction,1 jumping ring which is thrown clear when primary current is started and a floating ring which remains freely suspended when primary current is flowing.

Description

Investigate the working principle of circuit breaker type fuse with this demonstration model. The apparatus is built on a robust plastic base and includes resistive loads to simulate external wiring circuits. Applications of the thermal response of bimetal strips and also electromagnetism (movement from a solenoid) are clearly demonstrated in this model. When a 12 V DC supply is connected (not supplied) the LED lights to show that current is flowing in the external circuit and the bi-metal strip can be seen to bend as its heater coil raises the temperature. After a few minutes the bending is sufficient to trip the mechanism and the current path is broken. At any current selection a short circuit situation can be initiated by pressing the red button and this produces an immediate response from the solenoid to disconnect the supply.
