Irwin Powerbase V8

Code: IV8000

The Powerbase V8 comes with a high power rotary transformer and a high specification toroid transformer replaces the original chassis transformer. The unit supplies 0-20V smoothed dc and 0-16V AC at 8 amps. The output is continuously variable and protected by a panel mounted thermal cut out. An output limiter is fitted which allows the user to preset the maximum voltage available.

Description

  • A heavy-duty power supply for powering laboratory experiments.
  • Heavy duty variable transformer and high power toroid transformer
  • Continuously variable output of 0 to 16Vac and 0 to 20V dc capacitor smoothed
  • Output current  8A.  Output voltages are rated at 8A load so higher voltages are available at less output current.
  • Manufactured in the UK with 5 years warranty
  • AC and DC outputs may be used simultaneously up to rated current.  
  • Colour coded 4mm sockets.
  • Maximum voltage limiter operated by Allen key
  • Push button cut-out to protect against overload and short circuit conditions
  • Available in Irwin Blue or transparent case
  • Mains Input 230V, 50Hz
  • Fusing: 5A mains plug fuse

Code: ELB8000

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.  

Code: EPU0115

The Powerlock power supply has both a lockable AC and DC outputs ranges by a simple key making it impossible for students to change the voltage. The Powerlock offers 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 in both DC and AC. Outputs may also be used simultaneously up to the rated output required. For safety, the output is also protected by a simple push button cut-out. Each unit is supplied with 2 that can be used on all Powerlock units if needed. Supplied with 2 keys.
Our additional Pylons pack contains 5 thick card sheets which once cut-out produces 5 pylons to be used in conjunction with our National Grid Kit to give your pupils a clearer explanation on how the experiment works.

Code: IPC-5865-X

Class set of 15 Capacitance Substitution Boxes. The IPC Capacitance Substitution Box (IPC-5861-X) provides the easily selection of 12 preferred value capacitors, ranging from 100pF to 0.47µF. The values range from: 100pF, 220pF, 470pF, 1nF, 2n2, 4n7, 10nF, 22nF, 47nF, 0.1µF, 0.22µF and 0.47µF. All the capacitors offer a maximum voltage rating of 50V (AC or DC), with actual capacitance value tolerances of ±5% to ±10%. The unit is housed in a robust ABS plastic case with rotary selector switch and a pair of 4mm connection sockets.

Code: EPU0113

A compact power supply offering 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 volts at currents of up to 5A. Both dc and ac outputs may be used simultaneously up to the rated output. The output is protected by a push button cut-out. The unit is 2A fused on the back panel and comes complete with a moulded mains lead and plug. 4 units are designed to fit in a shallow Gratnell tray.

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.
