Double ‘C’ Core & Clip

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.

Description

A cycle dynamo with crank handle, is fitted on base with two output terminals which are connected in parallel to a lamp holder with a lamp.

Description

A simple form of D.C. motor with 2 pole armature wound with insulated copper wire and a permanent magnetic field provided by a removable bar magnet with a commutator and phosphor bronze brushes connected to 4 mm sockets, open construction, all parts visible.

Description

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.
