Automotive Electrical Systems: VAT-40 Starting System Test
In this highly interactive and animated object, learners examine the VAT-40 battery starting and charging system tester and study how the tester is used to diagnose vehicle starting system problems. This object has audio.
Learners take a close look at the Edison Wire System and observe how the current values through the two lines and the neutral of the system change as the loads vary.
In this animated object, learners examine the operation of a feed-forward control system and its advantages over a closed-loop system. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Learners read an explanation of how the Magnetron Ignition System uses a solid state switching component, a step-up transformer, and magnetism to provide a high voltage spark in a one-cylinder combustion engine.
In this animated object, learners examine the operation of a closed-loop system that maintains the speed of a conveyer belt as heavy boxes are placed or removed.
Learners view the waveforms and voltages of an Edison Three-Wire System and read a description of the polarities across the secondary of the center-tap transformer. This transformer supplies power to residential homes.
In this animated activity, learners observe how pressure values throughout a hydraulic system are developed based on pump pressure and the size of the load.
Learners read a description of the wiring configuration of a residential Edison Wire System, which consists of a transformer secondary circuit. The circuit supplies two 115-volt sources and one 230-volt source.
Plumbing Sizing Activity: Assigning WSFUs and Pipe Size to the Water Distribution System
The learner assigns water supply fixture units and pipe sizes to a water distribution system using the Wisconsin Plumbing Code and a uniform pressure loss worksheet.
Learners play a vascular system "game" to identify the arteries, capillaries, and veins that make up the renal blood supply pathway. A score is given at the end of the activity.
Automotive Electrical Systems VAT-40 - Generator, Regulator, Diode Test
In this interactive and animated object, learners examine the SUN VAT-40 battery starting and charging system tester. This learning object demonstrates the use of the tester in diagnosing conventional 12-volt automotive charging systems. It contains audio.
