Description
The AC/DC Training System is a state-of-the-art training system that is specifically designed to introduce students to the basic principles of electrical circuits, both in direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). It provides a comprehensive, high-quality, and cost-effective solution to rapidly build student knowledge in electricity and electrical circuits.
Components
The following components are fixed to the front panel of the AC/DC Training System:
• DC power source (protected)
• AC power source (protected)
• A selection of resistors
• An inductor, parallel-connected to a fluorescent light
• Two capacitors
• Transformer
• A selection of switches: SPST, SPDT, DPDT, NO push button, NC push button, selector switch, knife switch
• DC relay
• AC relay
• A selection of indicator lights: green, yellow, red
• Potentiometer
• DC motor
• Solenoid
• Buzzer
• Circuit Breaker with test components
• Fuse The AC/DC Training System also includes the following individual components that can be fixed to or stored in the case lid.
• Two multimeters
• Connection leads set
• Compass
• Iron rod (for electromagnetism experiments) The AC/DC Training System also includes six built-in faults that each can be individually inserted in the system using a toggle switch. These faults are designed to test and improve the troubleshooting skills of students.
Courseware
Through theory and hands-on exercises, the AC/DC Training System fully covers the following topics: nature of electricity, Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws, using measuring instruments, solving series and parallel circuits, electromagnetism, electrical distribution, and troubleshooting electrical circuits.
The courseware included in the AC/DC Training System consists of two student manuals providing comprehensive theory presentations, guided, easy-to-understand lab procedures, and review questions. Two instructor guides that include both the content of the student manuals as well as the results and answers to questions is also included with the system.
Features & Benefits
- Fully introduces students to all the important concepts in both dc circuits and ac circuits.
- Comprises the most common electrical components in modern electrical circuits, easy to access and safe for student experimentation.
- Powered using a standard ac wall outlet and operates at a low voltage for student safety.
