Objectives of the visit

1. To gain Practical knowledge of Electrical power distribution and transmission and power line carrier communication.
2. To get familiarized with different electrical equipments and working of a substation.
3. To study various parts of the substation and how they are operated.
4. To get clear idea to read the single line diagram of power substation using different symbols used in diagrams.

Outcomes of the visit

1. Learn and able to visualize practically different parts of the transformer in detail.
2. Actually understand onsite how actually transformer steps down the voltage from 220KV/66 KV which in turn is further stepped down to 33KV and 11KV at different substations and distributed to household and industries through various feeders.
3. Able to actually differentiate AIS (air insulated substation)with GIS (Gas insulated substation) and study advantages of the later.
4. Understand the reason behind using stones/gravel in the substation to reduce the step potential and touch potential when operators work on switch yard and eliminate the growth of small weeds and plants inside the switch yard.
5. Study various protective measures to protect the substations from various faults and its smooth function.
6. Students could in detail learn about how the complete controlling of the substation is carried out remotely through SCADA programming.
7. Encourages students from within regarding the branch chosen and gives wide exposure of employment in the related fields.

Benefits of the visit

1. Involve JE/SDO from the same or allied organizations for expert lectures in future for Electrical Engg. students.
2. Facilitate internship for students to such organizations with permission to give better industry exposure and make students industry ready.
