The lab system offers an integrated solution for teaching residential, commercial and industrial wiring that enables students to install wiring and electrical devices consistent with Electrical Code Standards. Devices include: Panels, breakers, receptacle switches, motion sensors, timers, florescent lighting, recess lighting, and many more. The lab is designed to mimic real-environment.
The lab also, provides hands-on training in the construction of rotating machines used industrial applications as well as motor winding techniques include basic components such as laminations, motor ends, and magnet wire, the Motor Winding Kit allows the assembly of a squirrel-cage induction motor, a wound-rotor induction motor, a three-phase synchronous machine, and a split-phase capacitor-start motor. All parts necessary for assembly of the four machines are included in the kit. Two types of stator laminations are included for winding a three-phase stator and a single-phase stator.
