AC/DC Electrical Training System (850-AEC) by Amatrol
Overview of the AC/DC Electrical Training System (850-AEC)
The Amatrol 850-AEC is a comprehensive training system designed to build a strong foundation in the principles of AC/DC electricity. This hands-on learning station is ideal for students new to the field, including those in high school, technical college, and university programs. It effectively bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, allowing learners to understand and engage with fundamental electrical concepts. The system focuses on core competencies such as measuring electrical values, analyzing circuits, and understanding component behaviors. By providing an interactive and safe learning environment, the 850-AEC prepares students for more advanced studies and future careers as technicians, electricians, or engineering technologists, solving the critical need for foundational, hands-on skills in modern technical education.
Key skills and applications of the AC/DC Electrical Training System (850-AEC)
With the 850-AEC system, students develop essential, hands-on skills that are directly applicable to industrial and technical careers. Learners will gain proficiency in using digital multimeters to accurately measure voltage, current, and resistance. They will apply theoretical principles like Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s Laws to construct and analyze various circuit types, including series, parallel, and combination circuits. The curriculum also explores the properties of magnetism, inductance, and capacitance, providing a thorough understanding of how these elements function within electrical systems. Students will also learn about the operation of transformers and how to connect them. This practical experience ensures they can not only understand electrical schematics but also build, test, and troubleshoot real-world circuits.
