Power Supply

  • The Electrical wing maintains all HT/LT electrical equipment on campus. Power is received at 11 kV from TANGEDCO through a dual source, from Thuvakudi Substation (main) and Vazhavandhan Kottai Substation, to minimise downtime.
  • 2 × 1000 kVA transformers with allied VCB panels in the main powerhouse, plus 11 Nos. of 500 kVA transformers (11/0.415 kV) at 10 locations on campus.
  • 12 standby DG sets with a total installed capacity of 3072.5 kVA, including 2 × 750 kVA HT DG and 2 × 500 kVA LT DG in the powerhouse.
