Electrical Engineering

• Electrical Engineering department was established in 1947 Spreading over an area of 5865 sq.m. it is situated just adjacent to the tennis court of the college. The department occupies a prominent place in the history of this institution by becoming a Centre of Relevance and Excellence (CORE) in High Voltage and Power System Engineering. This extraordinary achievement of the department was possible because of the unique High Voltage Engineering Laboratory.

• A Transformer Repair Unit (TRU) : This unit was inaugurated on February 2nd, 2005 with an objective to detect & analyze defects in transformers which fail during impulse testing so that the transformer design can be improved. This unit has also taken up the repairs of old distribution transformers from agencies like MPSEB, MES, PWD, etc.

• HIGHLIGHTS

  1. Many new equipments such as Digital Impulse Analysis System (DIAS) – 733, Partial Discharge Detector (PDD)- 2000, Gas Chromatograph, Pressure Vessel and Vacuum Chamber, Acoustic PDD, Dust and Fog tracking & Erosion equipments, Capacitance Energy Test Equipments, Surface Tensometer etc. have been added to H.V. Laboratories so as to enhance the research activities and consultancy projects in the Deptt.
  2. DC and AC drives laboratory is being set-up under TEQIP.
  3. The faculty had taken up the testing work & generated a revenue worth Rs. 16 lac during the session 2009-10. This includes impulse testingof transformers & cables, oil testing, calibration of meters, fault detection by acoustic, partial discharge detector in transformers & cables.
  4. A two day National Conference on “Advances in Power System and High Voltage Engineering” was successfully organized by the faculty of the Department.
  5. 09 students of the department were awarded with Chancellor Scholarship award on 9 June 2010.
  6. About 20 research papers were published in reputed journals and magazines.
  7. Under the auspices of this department the students organized “Urja”.
