Circuit Breaker Demonstration
Model Number: MTE-003
The Circuit Breaker Demonstration is an educational electrical training unit used to demonstrate the working principle of a circuit breaker type protection system. The apparatus is mounted on a robust plastic base and incorporates resistor-loaded wires, a bimetal strip and an electromagnet for demonstrating thermal and magnetic operating principles. LED indication shows current flow in the external circuit, while the bimetal strip demonstrates thermal response. The unit also demonstrates a short-circuit condition using a red push button and solenoid mechanism. A 12 V DC power supply is required and is not supplied with the apparatus. Micro Technologies provides electrical trainer equipment for practical education and laboratory demonstrations.
Product Specification
The Circuit Breaker Demonstration is a practical electrical training apparatus developed to help students understand the operating principles of circuit breaker protection systems. The unit provides a visual and hands-on method for studying how electrical protection mechanisms respond to different circuit conditions.
The apparatus is mounted on a robust plastic base and incorporates resistor-loaded wires, a bimetal strip and an electromagnet. These components allow students to observe the basic thermal and magnetic principles involved in circuit protection. The arrangement is suitable for electrical engineering laboratories, technical institutes and educational training environments.
When a 12 V DC supply is connected, the LED indicator illuminates to show that current is flowing through the external circuit. The bimetal strip can be observed responding to thermal effects as the heater coil raises its temperature. After sufficient heating, the strip bends and demonstrates the operating action of the protective mechanism.
The Circuit Breaker Demonstration also includes a facility for demonstrating a short-circuit condition. Pressing the red button initiates the demonstration and produces an immediate response from the solenoid, illustrating how the mechanism can disconnect the supply during a fault condition.
This electrical trainer provides a useful platform for explaining thermal response, electromagnetic action, circuit protection and fault conditions. Its visible components make it suitable for classroom demonstrations where students need to connect theoretical electrical concepts with practical observations.
The unit requires a 12 V DC power supply, which is not supplied with the apparatus. It can be incorporated into practical teaching sessions covering circuit breakers, electrical protection mechanisms and basic fault-response principles.
