The Consulab CL-100, a set of practical exercises with economically priced 1/3HP-250W electrical machines, is intended as a teaching aid for a course on AC/DC motors and generators. The Consulab modular units are portable and totally enclosed. Work space required during experiments is minimized since the modules can be stacked vertically. All interconnection panels are transparent so the components are in view at all times. When possible the end plates of the machines are also transparent, giving a view of the interior during operation.

Schematic diagrams and specifications are silk screened onto the back of the front panel of each unit. Interconnections between components are made with piggy back plugs patch cords and connections are mode through 4 mm standard color coded safety socket. When the experiment is in progress, the rotary machines are mounted on a rigid base and assembled with a rubber coupling, thereby eliminating ay possible slippage. The Consulab CL-100 set is complete with a laboratory manual which contains details of 54 practical exercises. All parts used in this set of practical exercises are compatible with all other 1/3HP units produced by Consulab Inc., so any program of interest can be covered, such as AC/DC control equipment, transformer, etc,
