This set is designed for studying Pelton turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads.

The unit consists of a storage tank, a pump, a turbine, a dynamometer, a generator, and measuring instruments. The adjustable nozzle directs the water jet to the runner buckets. Power output can be measured by either dynamometer or generator.

The unit is on wheels.
Instruction manual is also included.

TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
