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
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.
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.
Enables students to investigate nature and properties of electricity by using simple circuits which are easily constructed on a base board.
The connector system uses P.C.B. strips with cut-out sections whose ends can easily be inserted in spring terminals, ensuring low contact resistance and ease of connection.

Students can explore how a simple electric motor works by doing a series of investigations.
This St. Louis motor can be adjusted so students can study the effect of voltage and position of the brushes on the commutator.
The motor consists of a two pole DC armature. The brush holder, with two heavy binding post terminals, can be rotated for experiments.
The permanent bar magnets, supported by clamps, can be adjusted to the desired location.
This apparatus requires 4 D cell batteries with holder (not included) or a power supply and two connecting leads (not included).
The large size of this battery operated apparatus allows students to better understand the operation of this basic circuit.
Works on 9 V Battery.
Includes Instructions.
On wooden stand.
Wound on rectangular bobbin, for use with 220 – 240 V AC mains with detachable mains connector with moulded plug, A 4 mm socket is provided for earthing.
