Electrical Power and Machines
Electrical Power and Machines is one of the most important areas of study for students in further and higher education. As we become more aware of the finite energy resources available to us, it is imperative that we use them in the most efficient manner. Engineers and technicians need to know which machines and motors are best suited for particular applications, how to generate and distribute power with the minimum losses and how electrical circuits behave at higher voltages and currents. For example, would the same type of motor be ideal for use in a DVD Drive as might be required for a Power Tool or a Railway Locomotive? How can we distribute and utilise the maximum amount of power? Why do we use Three Phase electrical power generation? How do we control Electrical Machines with Power Electronic devices or PWM drives?
Feedback Instruments Limited has been supplying teaching and training systems to educational establishments throughout the world for over fifty years. Using the experience we have gained, we have configured a teaching system for Electrical Power and Machines which addresses the requirements of colleges and universities and enables students to get a “hands-on” understanding in these subjects.
Feedback offers two approaches to the teaching of Electrical Machine principles. The unique Feedback Dissectible Machine is designed to introduce students to the principles of electrical motors and generators and allows them to construct various types of motors and generators using a large selection of components.
Alternatively, Feedback offers a series of closed machines which provide curriculum coverage for Electrical Circuits, Transformers and Motors and Generators.
