Diseño y construcción de un banco didáctico de conexiones de malla para el Laboratorio de Física de la Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato

Abstract

Kirchhoff's laws and the analysis and calculation of circuits by meshes constitute a fundamental axis in the formation of engineers, for this reason students must strengthen the knowledge of these topics through practice, for this reason the present technical project has been developed whose main objective was the design and construction of a didactic test bench that allows students to expand their knowledge demonstrating that what is obtained in theory can also be obtained in practice. The didactic bench developed can be connected to the mains at 110 V AC and consists of two main meshes with resistors and potentiometers in series and parallel with switches that allow the passage or restriction of energy to strategic points of the circuit so that students can properly simulate exercises proposed in the theory, you can put any resistance and capacitor that is required to evaluate and read the results of intensity and voltage through a sensor. The voltage range with which the meshes can be fed goes from 0 to 30 volts and the current from 0 to 5 amperes and the measurement range of the sensor up to 100 volts and 50 amperes. The training bench can be used to simulate series, parallel and combined resistor, and capacitor mats as well as mixed circuits involving the two electrical components mentioned above.
