Overview

• Model 8006 is a Computer-Assisted version of Model 8001 0.2 kW Electromechanical Training System (EMS).

  This modular program provides new opportunities for laboratory observations in the study of electric power technology.

  Presented in a basic subsystem and special applications format, the program incorporates various techniques used in industrial settings to generate and use electrical energy.

  The basic system covers power circuits, transformers, and common AC/DC machines, while special applications cover less common machines and equipment.

  Courseware for the basic system is presented in two student manuals, either in Computer-Based Learning (CBL) or standard hard copy formats. Courseware for Special Applications is available in hard copy format only.

Equipment Features

• The system has been designed with low-power (0.2 kW or 1/4 hp) educational equipment that enables students to understand and safely operate industrial-type equipment.
• Careful attention to engineering detail has resulted in a system that provides:
  • Laboratory results that are easy to understand
  • Data values that are easily observed
  • Data which, when applied to governing formulas, provide results that verify electrical laws rather than deny them on the basis of large operational-tolerance errors
• All metering activities are accomplished through the use of a Lab-Volt designed Data Acquisition and Management System (LVDAM), Model 9062.
• New Prime Mover / Dynamometer Module (Model 8960) designed with a permanent magnet DC motor/generator with built-in digital display of speed or torque and internal/external load control.
• As a modular program, course materials and curriculum provide instructors with complete versatility in selecting and adapting lessons and experiments to fit specific student needs and teaching objectives.
• Machines have 0.2 kW (175 W) motor rating and 120 W/VA generator rating.
• All machines are mounted in standard size modules.
• System produces reliable and repeatable results, so students can train in an ideal training environment.
• Motors and generators have properties of much larger actual industrial machines.
• Motors have open bell housings that allow interior view during operations.
• Connections can be made easily through the use of stacking safety banana plug leads.
