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.
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 motor-generator set gives students an insight into the physical and technical relationships on which electric motors, generators and transformers are based.
The modular system allows to set up different function models without tools: Various DC motors Series and shunt motor Synchronous motor DC generator and alternator Transformer.
This set allows the performance of 10 student experiments about the following topics:
Magnetic field of a coil
Conversion of electrical energy into kinetic energy
Commutator
Direct current motor
Synchronous motor
Series and shunt-wound motors
Electromagnetic induction
The electrical generator
Engine-generator
Transformer
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.
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.
This apparatus is an effective demonstration of how the earth wire and fuse act together to protect both the user and the appliance.
When the appliance is connected correctly and the LEDs in the appliance will illuminate to show the appliance is working.
A fault is then demonstrated by swapping the live wire from inside the appliance to the case to show either the fuse melts (protecting the user and appliance) or in the case of no earth wire, the LEDs illuminate to indicate the passage of current through the person to ground.
The fuse is easily visible and can be seen to ‘blow’ when a fault occurs.The unit is supplied with 10 m of fuse wire and full instructions.
A 12 V DC power supply is required.
Connections are made via 4 mm shrouded sockets.
