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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
