Iron Horse Basic Electricity Training Equipment is designed to be a tool for learning basic electrical principles and circuitry. Using low voltage components, the equipment reinforces basic AC and DC electricity characteristics. This Basic Electricity trainer allows you the opportunity to use a wide variety of electrical components. Available modules include: DC Motor, Potentiometers, Momentary Pushbuttons, Latching Pushbuttons, Regulated Variable Power Supply, Lamps, DC relay, Transformer, and Fuses. This trainer in combination with our student workbook and instructor manual represents a total Basic Electricity training course.

The Basic Electricity Training workbook will identify each component in detail and provide safe operational practices. Students will build and troubleshoot several circuits including:

The instructor manual provides you with the materials to conduct a class, gives detailed descriptions of the functions for each circuit, and outlines troubleshooting techniques.

Available Basic Electricity Trainer Module

Variable Regulated DC Power Supply Module....................................................................$ 479.95 USD The Power Supply Module is powered by a standard 120 volt wall outlet and supplies low voltage regulated power ranging from 1.5-12 VDC. The power supply is internally protected against accidental circuit damage. In addition, we supply a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) on the input power side to ensure the safety of trainees. A fuse block is also provided to allow for proper fuse measuring techniques.

DC Relay Module...................................................................................................................$ 479.95 USD The Relay Module includes two 12 VDC double pole relays.  The relays provide a basic understanding of the relationship between electricity and magnetism.  Relay contacts will be examined in their resting state and energized state to show switching points.  The module is labeled to show the schematic symbol and connection points of the components.

Multiple Tap Transformer Module.......................................................................................$ 359.95 USD The transformer runs on 120 VAC.  The output or “taps” range from 2.5, 8, 12, 16 and 24 volt AC.  All taps are made by inserting standard solid 22 to 18 AWG wire into spring loaded terminals.  This configuration demonstrates how the turns ratio at different points yields different values.   The module is labeled to show the connection points of the transformer.

Potentiometer Module...........................................................................................................$ 459.95 USD This module contains four 0-1KΩ potentiometers which are used for various functions.  The potentiometers are more user friendly than inserting resistors into a breadboard; therefore potentiometers will be used to construct series, parallel, and combination circuits.  Potentiometers will also be used to vary the intensity of the current supply to the lights and motor.  The module is labeled to show the schematic symbol and connection points.

Output Module......................................................................................................................$ 359.95 USD The output module contains two pilot lights and one 9-18VDC motor.  The module is labeled to show the schematic symbol and connection points of the components.

Input Module.........................................................................................................................$ 359.95 USD This module contains two momentary pushbuttons and two latching style pushbuttons to be used as inputs for a wide variety of circuits.

Digital Multimeter Module.....................................................................................................$ 109.95 USD This module contains a digital multimeter that measures resistance, AC or DC voltage, and DC Current.  The meter is accompanied by a warning statement directing the students to check to ensure the meter is correctly set.  The fuse has also been relocated to provide for easy removal and installation.

A-Frame Console..................................................................................................................$ 439.95 USD This sturdy bench top 16-Gauge A-Frame Console is constructed to place a maximum of nine modules per side.  This design provides you the ability to construct two separate trainers making it possible for two lab exercises to be built simultaneously.  The A-frame has four slip resistant non-scratching feet so you can use it on any surface.  The A-frame is predrilled allowing you to easily attach, add, or interchange modules. Overall size 20" L x 18"W x 21½" H
