IEEE St. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING STUDENT BRANCH CHAPTER in association with the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering organized an extensive industrial visit to an 11KV substation, kadaperi, tambaram from August 9th to August 16th, 2024, involving approximately 230 students from third-year sections A, B, and C, as well as final-year students from section A. The primary goal was to provide these students with practical exposure to the operations and management of a power substation. During the visit, students observed essential components such as transformers, circuit breakers, and control panels, gaining v
aluable insights into the functionality and significance of these elements in power distribution.
The visit offered students a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications. Engaging with technical staff and witnessing operational procedures firsthand, students enhanced their understanding of the complexities involved in managing electrical infrastructure. This experience not only reinforced their academic learning but also prepared them for practical challenges in their future careers as electrical engineers.
OUTCOME:
The industrial visit provided students with a practical understanding of substation operations and the critical role of power distribution components. This hands-on experience significantly enhanced their grasp of theoretical concepts and prepared them for real-world applications in
