Industrial visit in Engineering Curriculum is considered as one of the most tactical methods of teaching. It provides students with an opportunity to learn practically through interaction, working methods and employment practices.
Students of AIET,IV Yr B.Tech.(Electrical Engineering) visited 132 kV Grid Sub Station (G.S.S.), Sitapura Industrial Area, Jaipur on a one day Industrial Visit on Saturday, 31 August 2013.
Students got the practical knowledge of various protective equipments installed in Yard like Bus Bars, Lightning Arresters, various types of relays, different types of Circuit Breakers, Wave-Trap, C.T., P.T., Insulators & Isolators etc. Power Transformers is the heart of a Yard which is installed in the GSS, students also got the knowledge of Transformer, conducting wires & Ground Wire.
Students visited Yard and visualize each and every part of the Yard, Control Room, PLCC Room & Battery Room. During this Visit students got the knowledge of how power is received & then it is distributed in different regions connected to that G.S.S. They learn about various control panels & their operating mechanism. They learn about the different types of faults that can occur in a system & how can we protect our system from fault without interruption of supply.
This visit is very important for the students of Final Year Electrical Engineering as Power System is the biggest part of the syllabus of Electrical Engineering and G.S.S. is the best place to understand almost whole Power System.
