Power Electronics Trainer PET V1

The Power Electronics Trainer is designed for comprehensive practical study of power semiconductor devices, their characteristics, triggering methods, rectifier circuits, and AC power control techniques. It provides a wide range of experiments covering SCR, TRIAC, UJT, MOSFET, IGBT, DIAC, PUT, power transistor, and power diode characteristics. The trainer also supports digital, UJT, and resistor-capacitor triggering techniques, along with switching, rectification, and phase-control applications. It includes multiple DC supplies, digital meters, semiconductor devices, capacitors, inductors, and selectable resistive loads for practical experimentation. Designed and manufactured by Atico Export to meet the practical demands of modern laboratories.
