The 2-kW Electric Power Transmission Training System uses hands-on exercises to teach the principles of trans- mission of electric power. This turn- key training equipment maximizes hands-on involvement with the subject matter. The instructor can select specific experiments that will satisfy the objectives of technical courses or university programs. The system provides laboratory results that are easy to understand, with data values that are easily observed. The data, when applied to formulas, provide results that verify electrical laws rather than deny them because of large operational tolerance errors.
