SERIES 100
1/3 Horsepower Machines
Purpose
TheHampden Series 100 complement of onethird horsepower AC and DC motors and generators provide instructors a large measure of flexibility in teaching electrical power technology. The competency-basedprogram produces maximum student involvement while making optimum use of the instructor’s time. The Series 100 system of machines, controllers, and accessories is designed primarily for multi-levelinstruction in electrical power generation and utilization. As such, it is equally suitable for: (1) (2) (3) (4) Electrical Trades, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Appliance Repair, and as an introductoryapproach to the more sophisticated machines found in advanced grades and technical courses.

Description
The basic complement of Hampden Series 100 Motors, Generators, and Alternators is shown onthe back of this sheet. Also available are a large number of suitably-rated load units, starters, controllers, tachometers, power supplies, meters, and test equipment, as well as interface panels topermit computer-supervised operation and data processing. Each machine, with its double shaft extension, is permanently mounted on a Medite base along with its terminal box. When in use, machine basesare firmly secured to a bedplate, preventing any lateral movement while the machines are running. No tools are required. Bedplates are available for two machines (MODEL MGB-100-DG) or three machines(MODEL MGB-100-DG3), as described on Bulletin 256. All bedplates are constructed of heavy steel and rest on rubber vibration pads. Ease of student use is further facilitated by the quick-connect doubleserrated coupling that simplifies alignment while maintaining a positive coupling. Students are protected from the hazards of spinning shafts by coupling guards.
