FOCUS AREA FOR CONSULTANCY
• Exclusive to CPRI
• Collaborative projects
Outcome:
Studies have been carried out to investigate the structural
integrity aspects as well as performance of porcelain
insulator samples with varying defects and without
Defects.
Important findings are:
% - Al2O3 & - quartz are critical parameters
rather than the total Alumina and silica content.
Outcome:
Data acquisition software developed to integrate 8 channel
storage oscilloscope to acquire data during short circuit
testing. The work facilitated automation of the test facility
thereby reducing time taken for conducting the tests
Title: Advanced Technique to study the influence of residual
stress on the structural integrity of the plant components
