As aresult, engineering technology programs at the two- and four-year level have added controlcourses and laboratories to prepare the graduates for the systems awaiting them in industry.Building a controls laboratory that uses standard industrial control elements is costly anddemands allocation of a large laboratory area. Traditionally, process control laboratories inschools used large system trainers to teach the control of material level, flow, temperature, andpressure. While the performance of these systems is satisfactory, problems occur when theselarge systems are used in introductory control theory laboratories. The problems include:• The high trainer cost prohibits the purchase of multiple student stations.• The small

The systems used as examples when teaching power systems typically involve dangerouslyhigh voltages and currents. For obvious reasons of safety and logistics, it is not practical to havestudents work with actual power systems. Power demonstration stations that allow students towork with relatively low voltages (hundreds of volts) in a laboratory setting are available. Withthese stations, students can build and experiment with motors and other three-phase loads.However, these demonstration stations are usually large (the size of a lab bench), expensive
