AC Technology

System

The equipment allows approx. 30 experiments to be carried out. The topics range from the generation and visualisation of the characteristic values of alternating current to measurement technology and also include the use of an oscilloscope. The measurements are carried out on alternating current circuits with resistive, capacitive and inductive elements. The transformer and single-phase rectifier circuits are also analysed.

Function

The series of exercises deals with the laws of alternating current technology, the rectifier circuits (M1 - M3) and the basic transformer circuits.

The exercises consist of

• the measurement setup and execution,
• mathematical evaluation,
• the graphical representation

Equipment for student experiments and/or teacher demonstrations with non-hazardous low voltage. The experiments are carried out using a manual in printed or electronic form.

Target group

Vocational training in industry and students specialising in automation technology and mechatronics. The course offers the basics of electrical measurement technology.

• Generation and characteristics of alternating current
• R, L, C in the alternating current circuit
• Series and parallel connection of R, L, C
• Series and parallel compensation
• Voltage and current resonance
• Recording of diode characteristics
