instructional program representing a
comprehensive approach to teaching
electric power technology through
laboratory observations.
Through careful attention to
engineering detail, the EMS System
meets this objective, and in so doing,
provides laboratory results that are
easy to understand, with data values
that are easily observed. The data,
when applied to formulas, provides
results that verify electrical laws
rather than deny them because of
large operational tolerance errors.
The program deals with the different
techniques associated with the
generation and use of electrical
energy. Four subsystems cover the
