#CPRI #BMmehra #SDVirendra #CentralPowerInstituteofInstitute An exclusive Interview with Shri BM Mehra, Unit Head, Central Power Research Institute CPRI, Bhopal MP in Episode no. 103, Words with Virendra. Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) was established by the Government of India in 1960 with headquarters in Bangalore. The Institute was re-organized into an autonomous Society in the year 1978 under the aegis of the Ministry of Power, Government of India. The main objective of setting up the Institute is to serve as a national Level laboratory for undertaking applied research in electrical power engineering besides functioning as an independent national testing and certification authority for electrical equipment and components to ensure reliability in power systems and to innovate and develop new products. CPRI is for many tests IEC61850 protocol conformance testing laboratory Mobile field testing laboratory for On-site Accuracy Test and Condition Assessment of EHV Class Instrument Transformers Setting up 10kA Temperature Rise Test Facility. Test Facilities for Air-conditioners and Refrigerator. Automation of Tower Testing Station. Augmentation of Relay Testing laboratory Compression Test on Quadruple Spacer Testing 800 kV HDVC Tower for M/s. POWERGRID, Gurgaon Seismic pushover Test on Prototype RCC Framed structure Dynamic Testing of Distance Protection relay P443 for M/S. Areva T & D Ltd., PSP, Chennai. Testing of Distance Relays using Real Time Digital simulation for M/s. BGR Energy System Ltd., Testing of numerical distance relays—SEL &OMEGA Destruction test on power electronics capacitors of ratings, 560 F, 3.8 kV DC, was conducted as per IEC 61881-1999 was conducted in the power capacitors laboratory for the first time, which has helped the customer in verifying the design aspects with reference to safety/protection For the first time in the country in a 1180 kvar 12 kv shunt capacitor was tested at the power Capacitor Laboratory. This is the highest unit rating (Kvar) tested. Under standards and labeling programme of Government of India, CPRI carried out the check testing of BEE star labeled products like refrigerators & TFLss against the work order from M/s BEE, New Delhi. M/s BEE has issued work order to CPRI for carrying out second-round check testing of refrigerators, TFLs and fans during the year 2010–2011 Testing of solar lanterns is now undertaken at ECDD. Testing of LED lamps as per manufactures specifications is undertaken at ECDD ECDD has taken up field and lab evaluation of street light controllers as per manufactures specifications Under standards & labeling programme of Government of India, CPRI carried out the check testing of BEE star labeled products like Refrigerators & TFLs.
