The Electrical Engineering Department of Government Engineering College (GEC), Modasa, organised a focused industrial visit to the 132kV High Voltage Substation at the Institute for Plasma Research (IPR), Gandhinagar, on February 24 2026. The IPR facility houses massive, pulsating power loads necessary for advanced research. The primary objective of this visit was to provide electrical engineering students with an in-depth, practical understanding of switchyard design, high-voltage power distribution, and the specialised protective equipment required to handle sudden, heavy industrial loads.
