Recent Advances in Transmission Insulators
INTENDED AUDIENCE : 3rd or 4th year UG, 1st year masters and research students UG/PG course, industry/utility participants can also register.
PREREQUISITES : Basic knowledge of Electrical Engineering.enzymes.
INDUSTRIES SUPPORT : None
ABOUT THE COURSE :This course introduces the recent advances in EHV/UHV transmission Insulators. The course emphasizes learning and understanding the newer design criteria for the UHV transmission insulation. The course starts with an introduction to the importance of EHV /UHV transmission, its present and future growth. The discussion on the various components used for UHV transmission, design considerations etc are strengthened with the aid of lectures, practical video demonstrations and assignment exercises.
