Demountable Transformer Kit – GCSE & A‑Level Physics [0576]

The Demountable Transformer Kit is a large‑scale, hands‑on teaching resource designed to support the study of transformers and electromagnetic induction in KS4, GCSE, and A‑Level physics. Ideal for classroom demonstrations and student investigations, this kit provides a clear and practical way to explore how transformers operate in real‑world electrical systems.

The kit demonstrates key principles such as step‑up and step‑down transformers, showing how electrical energy is transferred efficiently in domestic appliances and across the National Grid. Its large, visible components make abstract concepts easier to understand and highly engaging for students.

At the heart of the kit is a magnetic circuit made from highly permeable U‑shaped metal laminations, which can be securely closed using two clamps with tightening screws. This allows the magnetic core to be assembled and dismantled easily, reinforcing students’ understanding of magnetic flux and core design.

The set is supplied complete with one 500‑turn coil and one 1000‑turn mains coil, enabling immediate investigation of transformer ratios. The magnetic core section measures 40 × 40mm, with an overall core length of 150mm and height of 170mm. A power cable is included, and additional coils with different turn counts are available separately for extended experiments.
