Automotive Electric Generation Unit (AV-GE)
PL-599029
The Automotive Electric Generation Unit, “AV-GE”, designed by EDIBON, offers a practical solution to learn about the key components used in modern automotive electrical circuits.
The components of the “AV-GE” focus on electrical energy generation and automobile battery charging systems.
This unit features an engine and generator assembly connected via a belt and pulley system, replicating actual automobile operation. The generator is driven by an electric motor simulating a car’s internal combustion engine. The electrical circuit incorporates a 12 V automotive battery as the energy storage component.
Additionally, the “AV-GE” includes an instrument panel with an electric key switch and warning lights that activate during common automotive electrical faults: generator malfunction indicator (GEN-L), battery or electrical fault indicator (BATT), and malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
The system also has an accessible fuse and relay block, enabling hands-on interaction with circuit protection and distribution elements. This facilitates fault diagnosis and enhances practical learning for technical skills development.
Beyond teaching fundamental automotive electrical principles, the “AV-GE” prepares students for hybrid and electric vehicle technologies by providing insight into energy management, integration of electrical and electronic systems, and detailed component analysis in a safe and controlled environment.
