A simple kit for students to gain insight into field poles, armatures and switches, one mounting base, two coils of insulated wire , field pole, mounting bracket, two armature halves, one piece of insulating tubing, motor shaft, two commutator insulators, two bronze wire brushes, two shaft supports, four paper fasteners, a AA battery holder and 6 each of screws and nuts.
Requires one AA battery, not supplied, with assembly instructions.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
The motor consists of a two pole armature mounted between the ends of two bar magnets.
The armature has a two section commutator and a pair of slip-rings on its shaft and is so constructed that the wire cannot slip off the iron core.
The upper bearing and brushes for the commutator are mounted on a strong upright.
Separate brushes are provided for the commutator and for slip rings and each are connected to a terminal.
The magnets are held in position by thumb screws.
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.
