| Description |
BERT is a simple way of introducing electrical resistance and resistivity to a class. It consists of a circuit board that may be drawn on using the supplied pencil. Connecting the two sides of the board together by a pencil line gives a conducting track and the LED lights. The brightness of the LED gives an indication of the resistance of the path. Drawing the line thicker decreases the resistance, as does shortening the path. Resistances in parallel may be studied and a “volume control” simply made.
BERT may also be used to test various materials to see whether they are conductors or insulators. Liquids and pastes may also be tested. The conductivity of the class may be studied as well as how a switch works. When you are finished the pencil lines may be removed with the supplied eraser.

Students often think that the brightness of a lamp is only dependent on the current flowing through it. The unit allows the teacher to safely switch a 12V lamp in series with a mains lamp and study the current flow through them.

Solid steel Small Bayonet Cap (SBC) lamp holder with a tough powder coat paint finish and a solid brass lamp holder with 2 x 4mm electrical sockets. Ready to use supplied with a 12V 24W Lamp.

AC Magnetic Field Coil
| By connecting an ac power source to one of the coils and reading the voltage from the other coil transformer action (either step up or step down) may be readily demonstrated. The efficiency of the transformer may be studied –does the efficiency change if the laminate top is not firmly fixed? What happens if it is not present? Other more esoteric effects such as Magnetostriction may also be studied. |
(Portable Appliance Tester and Checker). Performs electrical safety tests on portable appliances allowing compliance with EAWA regulations. The unit performs earth bond and insulation tests on both Class 1 and Class 2 appliances, extension leads, IEC and kettle leads etc. The unit is very simple to operate and gives clear, unambiguous pass/fail indications. Complete with test leads, instructions, pass and fail labels, a Tester's Certificate of Inspection and is fitted with moulded mains plug.

A stunningly effective way of teaching the basics of electrical resistance.
The kit comprises of:
- 1 x BERT circuit board
- 1 x PP3 battery
- 1 x 3B pencil
- 1 x crocodile clip connecting lead
- 1 x eraser
- 1 x full set of teaching notes.
| This includes kit includes the use of a safety mains lamp socket, which has a built in a switching system that only allows it to be switched on when a lamp is inserted. We have also included two switches, which must be pressed simultaneously to route the mains current through the low voltage lamp. Furthermore, the switches are sited at opposite ends of the case, requiring two hands to operate them. However, it must be appreciated that you are working with potentially lethal voltages and currents and therefore extra care should be taken.
- Supplied with 1 x 240V 100W lamp and 1 x 12V 5W lamp and mains power lead.

AC Magnetic Field Coil
|
A demountable transformer kit is an ideal way to demonstrate transformer action. The kit comprises three coils, one with 300 turns, one with 600 turns and one with 1200 turns. These slide onto a laminated steel frame to form several possible transformer configurations.
