Connect – Electric Motor
With the Connect – Electric motor, students can experience the working principles and characteristics of different types of electric motors. Students build the most commonly manufactured electric motors by choosing and connecting various components. They then examine the characteristics, measure the electric motors, and develop a deeper understanding of their application.
Features
- Demonstrate the operation of the following electric motor types:
- Permanent magnet motor
- Series-wound motor
- Asynchronous squirrel cage motor
- Synchronous three-phase motor
- All operating values in the low voltage range of < 24V
- Drive unit for controlling all motor types with display and rotary controller
Equipment
- Drive unit with mounting flange and shaft for motor type assembly
