TECHNOLOGY >> CORPORATE R & D AND QUALITY >> EXPERT CENTRES

To bring synergy & constantly upgrade its core competencies, the R&D Center is structured into distinct expert centers.

Quality Systems: The Quality System group works as implementation facilitator for ISO quality systems from design stages [in R&D] till customer's satisfaction stages. Its main work revolves round the ISO implementation, six-sigma implementation, reliability improvements for CG products, and promotion of use of scientific development tools such as Quality Function Deployment, Design Of Experiments, & Failure Mode and Effect Analysis.

Material Science: The Material Science Group work in the areas of powder metallurgy for application in circuit breakers, electro ceramics for application as linear & nonlinear resisters, polymers for insulation application in high voltage apparatus, soft & hard magnetic materials for motors and transformers & surface finishing systems.

Electrical & High Voltage Engg: The Electrical & High Voltage Group work in the areas of Capacitors, transformers, switchgears, & Power Quality improvements.

Analytical Modeling, Analysis: The Group works on design , analysis & prediction of performance of products and systems. Fully equipped with the latest software tools, the Group contributes substantially to the development cycle & helps in the development time.

Industrial Design Centre: The group works on the industrial design of products with integrating functional requirements with focus on ergonomics, aesthetics & improved productivity.

Technical Information Services: The Group facilitates generation , documentation & dissemination of latest technological and business information to aid the R&D activities. It has built the necessary infrastructure & acts as a live wire in IPR issues related to the developments.

Low Voltage High Power: The low voltage high power group specializes on switchgear reliability evaluation, life assessment & support the development in contact system & operating mechanism. It is a well-equipped facility to evaluate the short time current withstanding, making and breaking capacities of switchgear.

Electronics Design Centre: The Electronics design centre works on development of intelligent systems for our power apparatus, such as:-

  • Electronics for switchgear
  • Brushless DC motor technology
  • Power Quality
  • Inverters for traction application
