The classic experiment for demonstrating the need for high voltage transmission has been assessed by CLEAPSS as being potentially lethal. As the experiment is now featured in the new Science curricula, we have developed a new, safe form of the experiment, which has the following features:

Touchproof, locking high voltage connectors used throughout. It is virtually impossible to get an electric shock

Clear lid to the casing so pupils can see how it works and trace the circuit

Indicators for low/high voltage

The resistance wires can be connected to either the high or low voltage system for direct comparison of lamp brightness/energy losses. By gripping the insulated cables, students can feel when and where the energy is being lost, mainly as heat.

Voltmeter sockets for measuring the high voltage

Comes complete with two boxes (transmit and receive), insulated resistance wires, two mounted SBC lamps and full instructions.

Please note the Pylons must be ordered separately.
