powerTOWN (continued)
Safety is important. Each powerTOWN is wired with a foot switch (see top picture at right) so the demonstrator can control current to the model. A spring-loaded hot stick makes it easy to handle components from a safe distance. The circuit is protected by a 3 amp fuse. In addition, demonstrators should wear tested linesman’s gloves (not included.)
Each powerTOWN kit includes:
• Demonstration board(s),
• Hot stick,
• Three grounded human figures,
• Model house containing power supply,
• Tree with figures,
• Metal ladder with figure,
• Three strand transmission lines,
• Padmount transformer,
• Metal fence,
• Table skirt,
• Die cast metal school bus,
• Grounded fire truck,
• Cap charges for “exploding” pole mount transformer, and
• Instruction manual.
Additional components which come with the standard 8 foot model are:
• Substation with gravel base, transformer and metal fence,
• Sailboat, and
• Double-pole high-tension line.
An optional agricultural table can be ordered for the eight foot model. See picture at right. This optional table is covered with a simulated field stubble. Demonstration components which come with the Agricultural Option Table are:
• Substation with gravel base, transformer and metal fence,
• Farm tractor and a choice of grain auger or hay elevator, and
• Double-pole, high-tension line.
• A pivot irrigation system can be ordered separately.
The purchase price of each kit includes a table skirt which can be customized with a one or two color utility logo, name and safety message.
The instruction manual contains directions for setting up powerTOWN. In addition it contains helpful information on presentation skills and three separate scripts for demonstrating hazards to lower and upper elementary grades, first responders and construction workers.
Several modifications are available to best suit your needs. Click here to learn more.
A free video showing the setup of the powerTOWN and Moore Syndication’s second high voltage demonstration model, AgriPower, is available. E-mail Rick Moore to request a video.
