• Resumen

  • The paper outlines a course on electrical machines designed for pre-university education. The first part of the laboratory exercises isconcerned with the principles of operation of motors and generators while the second part of the exercises highlights empirical studiesof the efficiency of small DC motors, low-power transformers, etc. Some example experiments supported by a low-cost data acquisitionsystem are described in the paper. The laboratory exercises described were introduced through workshops for pre-service and inserviceteacher training programmes. The teachers involved responded positively and confirmed that they can apply the experiments in theirteaching practice.
