Electric Bell

Description

To distinguish between the conductors and insulators. Kit contains five strips of different material (wood, acrylic, copper brass and aluminium), one lamp and one 9 V battery mounted on plastic base.

Description

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.

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

Each plate is fitted with a 4 mm socket terminal.
