An Industrial Visit to the 400/132kV & 132/33kV Grid Substation, Thoubal Khunou under MSPCL was organized by the Department of Electrical Engineering, Manipur Technical University on 9th May, 2026.
About the Event
The Department of Electrical Engineering, MTU organized a one-day industrial visit to the 400/132kV & 132/33kV Grid Substation, Thoubal Khunou. The visit consisted of a team of 42 members, including 32 students from the 6th and 8th semesters, 10 faculty members and subordinate staff of the department. The visit provided the students with practical exposure to the operation and maintenance of high-voltage electrical power systems and substation equipment.
Highlights of the Event:
Date: 9th May, 2026
Time: 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM
Venue: 400/132kV & 132/33kV Grid Substation, Thoubal Khunou, MSPCL, Manipur
Mode of Event: Industrial Visit
Participants: 6th and 8th Semester Students of the Electrical Engineering Department
Aim and Objective:
The main objective of the industrial visit was to provide students with practical knowledge regarding the transmission and distribution of electrical power through grid substations. The students were introduced to the operation of transformers, circuit breakers, isolators, protection systems, control rooms, switchyards, and other essential substation equipment. The visit also aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and industrial practice by exposing students to real-time power system operations.
Coordinators:
- Oinam Manganleiba Meetei, Assistant Professor and HoD (i/c), EE Department, MTU.
- Haobam Jaillendro Khuman, Assistant Professor, EE Department, MTU.
