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.
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.
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
The dynamo model is mounted on a base with a driving wheel.
Output is through 4 mm sockets and a low voltage bulb is also provided as a simple output indicator.
