Electrical machine training system, basic set

This equipment is a reduced equipment of the complete system in E2.1.4.1. All experiments are also carried out with the kit of dismountable didactic machines. Simple tools such as screwdrivers and pliers are necessary for this.

Objectives

• Explanation of the components of an electric motor
• Electromagnetic basics
• Direct current motors
• Generators
• Series, shunt and compound motors
• Single-phase and three-phase AC motors and generators
• Series, universal and capacitor motors
• Faults in electric motors

With this teaching system, electrical machines are constructed from individual elements and investigated. The topics are very diverse and range from the fundamentals of magnetic circuits to commutator machines and three-phase machines. All relevant components of the motors are visible and must be mechanically assembled and electrically connected.

The equipment is equally suitable for pupil and student experiments in the laboratory with low voltage (DC, AC and three-phase current) and - with a mobile trainer - for teacher demonstrations in the classroom or lecture hall. The experiments are carried out according to the manual.

The target group is made up of commercial apprentices and students of electrical machine construction. The course offers experiments at an intermediate level and also allows for the necessary insight into machine behaviour for scientific interpretation at undergraduate level. The media connection makes the experiments suitable for demonstration in the classroom or a lecture hall.
