Step Up Transformer Model STEM Lab
Product Code : SCL-EI-12547
Quick Answer: The Step Up Transformer Model STEM Lab is an open-core transformer with a laminated silicon steel U and I core, a heavy-gauge primary coil and a fine-gauge tapped secondary coil, mounted on an insulated board with 4mm red and black sockets. It is run from a low-voltage AC lab supply, never from mains.

About This Product
A low AC voltage on the primary sets up a changing magnetic flux in the core, which links the secondary and induces a higher voltage there because it has more turns. With meters on the 4mm sockets and the secondary taps, students compare voltage ratio with turns ratio, see mutual induction at work and discuss why power lines use stepped-up voltages. Educational Instrument can dispatch the Step Up Transformer Model STEM Lab to laboratories in Comoros, South Korea, Panama, Bangladesh and Palestine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Step Up Transformer Model STEM Lab be connected to mains?
