AEL1037B-I POWER ELECTRONICS TRAINER

Power Electronics Trainer (Single-Phase) is a versatile, robust
and easy to use trainer that being used for teaching, learning and
constructing circuits based on power electronics theory and
fundamentals. Suitable for single phase and three phase power
electronics circuit designs and application. It is a self contained
system, equipped with the built-in power supplies, various ex-
periment plug in modules, user guide, experiment manual, con-
nection cables and related accessories. For each experiment,
circuits are constructed by the user using safety connection ca-
bles and built-in connector sockets to avoid any hazardous risk
to the user and also the training kit itself. Each experiment is
detailed in the student workbook. The system consists of a main
base unit fitted with test instruments and power supplies to en-
sure a smooth operation during carrying out the experiment.
