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.
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
Enables students to investigate nature and properties of electricity by using simple circuits which are easily constructed on a base board.

Generates both AC and DC.
When the two brushes of the generator are put in the two ends of the commutator, the output is an AC.
When the brushes are put in the middle of the commutator, the output is a DC.
Includes Instructions.
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.
