About this course

You will be able to

  • Plot characteristics of electromagnetic and numerical overcurrent and earth-fault relays
  • Test percentage differential, directional and distance relays
  • Find time-current characteristics of MCBs and HRC fuses
  • Study circuit breakers and the Buchholz relay and test transformer oil
  • Explain generator, motor and feeder protection schemes in the lab

Who it is for

  • B.Tech Electrical Engineering students of Semester 7 under AKTU
  • Students who want guided practice before the internal and external lab examination and viva

What you need

  • Switchgear and Protection theory (studied alongside)
  • Lab safety discipline, relay test kit familiarity and a record file

Questions

Which syllabus is followed?

The current AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus of Switchgear and Protection Lab (Electrical Engineering, Semester 7). If your university or college follows a different syllabus, the centre teaches from your own university syllabus.

How is the lab assessed?

By the experiment performed, readings or output, the practical record file and a viva voce, as in the AKTU internal and external lab examination.

Do I need to maintain a record file?

Yes. The centre helps you write each experiment with aim, apparatus, theory, circuit diagram, observations, calculations, result and precautions.
