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).
With this simple electric motor model students can investigate the relationship between voltage supplied to rotor and polarity / position of magnets.
On applying 6V DC to 4mm sockets, the rotor will begin to rotate across its vertical axis.
Apparatus is designed primarily for demonstration of the basic principles of transformers.
It consists of a laminated U-core with laminated I-core, both with 32 x 25 mm cross section to form a closed core of size 102 x 127 mm.
Heavy aluminium alloy stand with removable clamping rods, 2 pole pieces, each 65 x 30 x 25 mm with one end cone shaped, to accept support rod and shading ring.
Poles also have a hole drilled through lengthwise to take a light beam. 300 turns 600 turns 1200 turns 3600 turns 12000 turns
This heavy duty demountable transformer can be used for the study of transformertheory and many other alternating current phenomena.
This kit consists of:
1. A magnetic circuit made of highly permeable U shape metal sheet, which can be closed using two clamps with tightening screws.
2. Section: 40 x 40 mm with 150 mm length and 170 mm height.
3. One coil of 6000 turns with maximum current of 0.2 A. Intermediary coil of 2000 turns output.
4. One coil of 600 turns with maximum current of 2.5 A, which is mainly used to create the primary of transformer.
5. One coil of 1200 turns with maximum current of 1.25 A, fitted with intermediary 400 and 800 turns outputs.
6. One coil of 72 turns with maximum current of 12 A, fitted with intermediary 6, 30, 54 and 66 turns outputs.
7. Power supply cable.
The dynamo model is mounted on a base with a driving wheel.
Output is through 4 mm sockets and a low voltage bulb is also provided as a simple output indicator.
For use on double 'C' core, wound with 1,100 turns of 22 swg copper wire with a resistance of about 6 ohms and inductance of about 15 henries, size 100 x 60 x 55 mm approx.
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.
