Demonstration Motor

A motor represented by coils of wire
PIRA 5K40.40

The Cenco Demonstration Motor works best with a 0 - 12 V DC power supply, connected as shown.  The large and open nature of the device allows students to get a very clear view of the commutator and how it works.  It can also be hooked up as a generator, but a sensitive ammeter or galvanometer is necessary to observe the generated current.
