The CL-1450 simulators clearly demonstrate the most important features and specifications of transmission lines used in electrical energy. Energy losses in the form of heat and voltage variations along the line, as a function of length, are closely studied. The CL-1450 contains all the equipment and theorical references required to analyse networks transmitting electrical energy.

The equipment includes power supplies, mechanical and electrical loads, AC/DC measuring instruments and other accessories usually provided with the CL-100 1/3 HP Rotating Machines required for the experiments. Consulab modular units are portable and can be easily moved from place to place. They may be stacked vertically to minimize the working space and the storage. Experiments are carried out on any flat surface or in a Consulab mobile console if used. The front panel of every simulator is transparent, and symbols and specifications are silk-screened on the reverse. Terminals are 4mm color-coded safety sockets to facilitate interconnections with flying leads ended with 4mm piggy back plugs.

The CL-1450 training kit deals specifically with electrical energy distribution and transportation. Through simple vector diagram construction, the student avoids the use of advanced mathematics when analyzing the observed results. Major problems addressed in detail in this course include real and reactive energy losses, voltage increase, output voltage variations according to load and type (resistive, capacitive and inductive), output voltage variations depending on the source and methods of controlling the voltage (capacitors, synchronous machine), phase angle differences between the beginning and end of a line, connecting two lines in parallel, and a comparison with direct current transmission.
