The students were further updated about testing of repaired transformers in the Testing lab, including HV Test and LV Test, Meggar Test , Core losses test, Copper losses test and open circuit, Short Circuit test, Double voltage double frequency test and turns ratio test.

In addition to this, Technical Experts apprised the students regarding the History of Electrical Central Workshop Division, which was set up in the year 1986 over a large area. The team informed that approximately 600 to 650 Repaired Transformers are kept ready to meet the demand.
