Mini National Grid Simulation Kit
Product Code : JA-EE-7459
The Mini National Grid Simulation Kit (SKU JA-EE-7459) is a small-scale transmission system that pupils use to investigate why power is sent at a stepped-up voltage. Supplied by JaincoLab, this national grid simulation kit uses two printed circuit boards fitted with step-up and step-down transformers, 2.5 V MES lamps and a 1.2 m set of transmission cables, and it runs from a 2 V AC power source connected with two 4 mm plugged leads.
Specifications
The system comprises two printed circuit boards with step-up and step-down transformers, 4 mm low-voltage connectors, jack sockets for the high-voltage side, 2.5 V MES lamps and a set of HT leads, plus a 1.2 m set of transmission cables; it needs only a 2 V AC source and two 4 mm plugged leads.

Investigations with the national grid simulation kit
Pupils use the kit to compare transmitting power directly at low voltage with stepping the voltage up for transmission and down again at the far end, and to see how transformers make long-distance transmission practical.
- Investigating the effect of stepping up the voltage to transmit power, as in the National Grid
- Seeing how step-up and step-down transformers are used at each end of a transmission line
- Comparing the lamp at the receiving end with and without voltage step-up
- Small-group practical work on transformers and power transmission in secondary physics
