Introduction
Electrical engineering courses benefit immensely from
practical experimentation. It lets students see theory
in practice, enhancing the learning experience and
reinforcing knowledge obtained from lectures.
Sometimes, because of the scale, nature or cost of
electrical training products, students have not always
been given the opportunity to use genuinely
comprehensive, representative equipment for handson
experiments.
The TQ Electrical Machines Technology and
Electrical Power Systems ranges give truly unique
and comprehensive laboratory support for lecture
room delivered theory. It includes unmatched, worldclass
products specially designed to provide costeffective,
realistic and highly productive teaching.
For maximum teaching value, laboratory equipment
needs to reproduce real-life characteristics. These
products are completely realistic. All equipment is
representative of full-scale industrial systems. The
expert designs ensure students get the highest
quality practical experience possible.
Electrical Machines Teaching System
TQ’s Electrical Machines Teaching System is a highly popular,
established and comprehensive modular teaching system for a
complete range of practical investigations into electrical
machines, their operation, characteristics and applications.
For all academic levels, the modular nature of the teaching
system enables electrical machines laboratories to be
economically set up and extended as necessary to fulfil
developing needs.
The compact, lightweight design enables quick and easy
installation, and experiment manuals cover each aspect of the
range. Power electronic drives enable investigations into
thyristor speed control of d.c. motors.
Instrumentation Frame
A support frame which holds instrumentation and control
modules from TQ’s Electrical Machines Teaching System.
Usually placed over the rear of the Test Bed, it provides easy
access and support for all rack-mounting instrumentation and
control modules. It also provides a convenient storage facility
for modules not in use.
Electrical Machines
A wide selection of interchangeable, industrial-type electrical
machines for educational use. The selection includes d.c., a.c.,
single-phase and three-phase motors and generators which
give operating characteristics typical of their type. Ideal for
supporting classroom-taught theory, each machine fits
conveniently on to the Test Bed using a simple, fast alignment
procedure. Each machine includes an overlay panel showing
winding details. All the machines have similar frame sizes,
which enables meaningful comparison between different
machine type operating characteristics.
Fully compatible with all other products in the Electrical
Machines Teaching System, the machines include high levels
of built-in safety including an integral earth interlock.
Instrumentation and Control Modules
A comprehensive selection of quality instrumentation, loading
and control modules provides everything needed to complete
a full and comprehensive range of test circuits for each
electrical machine. Supplied in hardwearing, rugged
enclosures, the modules conveniently mount on the
Instrumentation Frame. All indicators, controls and sockets are
ergonomically positioned, easy to read and adjust. Where
appropriate, diagrammatic representations on the front panels
of the modules aid student understanding of the circuits. The
modules include appropriate safety and protection, such as
overcurrent, voltage or thermal cut-outs.
Electrical Power Systems
The teaching strategy of TQ’s Electrical Power Systems
range is to introduce the student to power system
engineering by giving a thorough understanding of
the individual elements of a power system. A selection
of equipment is available to cover each of the relevant
elements, allowing students to investigate an
extensive variety of behaviour. This includes problem
solving and analysis, as each product can accept a
wide range of faults.
The products available cover every aspect of power
systems: generation, transformation, transmission,
distribution, utilisation and protection. The range is
completed by total system study on the awardwinning
Power System Simulator.
