The Department has set up a few workshops in order to carry out research in the identified thrust areas. These are equipped with facilities to conduct research at all levels. Actively involving students, these workshops serve as hubs for research activities. Research scholars and faculty members guide these students to do research in these labs. A diverse and talented pool of faculty with enviable credentials and sound knowledge in the academic discipline mentor the students in their projects and help them to realize their innovative ideas.
Electrical and Electronics Workshop
The electrical workshop has got three components, which provides introductory practical knowledge about Electrical and Electronics Engineering for all the engineering disciplines.
Electrical Machines Lab
The department has well equipped Electrical machines laboratory which is established with a wide range of equipment for doing regular laboratory experiments. The DC machines include generators and motors. These machines are of separately excited type, self-excited type and compound. AC machines include three phase alternators, motors (Squirrel Cage and Slip Ring type), synchronous motor, synchronizing panel, single phase machines are available. Modernized distribution panels (both AC and DC) are used to provide supply power to the various machine work benches. Each machine work bench is provided with a well-designed connecting panel board made from thick hylam sheet with attractive printing on it. The laboratory serves the educational and research requirements in the field of electric machines, electric motor drive systems, power and industrial electronics.
