Lamp Brightness Experiment

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.

 

Description

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.

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.
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.

Code: EPU0201

A very popular and compact Westminster power supply that is ideal for school use in Key stage 4 and 5 physics lessons with its tough steel case protected by a tough powder coated finish that will last years of use. The unit will deliver up to 16A AC or DC through its colour coded terminal posts. This power supply is very popular for use in electromagnet experiments.

Code: EPT5001

(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.
