EL 5000

System description
The EL-5000 is a mini-process for teaching electrodynamics, instrumentation, automation and control, designed to obtain similar characteristics to industrial processes.

The EL-5000 is designed to facilitate learning while stimulating interest, while remaining simple and inexpensive.

This system consists of a quality industrial blower, conduit as well as measuring and control devices: a flow meter, a pressure transmitter, a current measurement, a temperature measurement, a variable speed drive (drive) type vector two 4-20mA electrical components, engine and the necessary electrical equipment.

No need for water or compressed air.

The system allows to experiment:

Control loops
