This course covers key topics in power electronic systems and automation, including UPS topologies, solid-state circuit
breakers, and advanced energy storage systems like batteries and fuel cells. lt explores industrial sensors for current,
voltage, temperature, speed, and position measurements, along with analog control systems such as PID controllers. The
course also addresses solid-state welding power sources, heating applications, and signal conditioning techniques.
Additionally, students will learn about programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and SCADA systems, with a focus on energy-
saving in electrical drive systems.

coURSE PollcY (including compe.nsation,assessment to be,,specified)
. Only one instance of absence is acceptable in continuous assessment, and a compensation assessment
for such cases will be conducted only once.
. Compensation assessments are restricted to genuine reasons, like severe illness, and require valid proof
in the form of a medical certificate issued by the NIT-T hospital Medical Officer.
. ln situations where students anticipate missing assessments due to unavoidable reasons, prior intimation
to the faculty is essential. lf a student is unable to provide advance notice due to sudden illness or
emergencies, they must communicate the reason and submit valid proof of the absence within one week of
the assessment.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
. At least 75olo attendance in each course is mandatory.
. A maximum of 10% shall be allowed under On Duty (OD) category.
. Students with less than 65% of attendance shall be prevented from writing the final assessment and shall
be awarded 'V'grade. Students awarded 'V' grade must compulsorily redo the course.
ACADETilIG. DISHONESTY.AND PLAGIARISM
Academic Dishonesty
a) Possessing a mobile phone, carrying bits of paper, talking to other students, copying from others during an
assessment will be treated as punishable dishonesty
b) Zero mark to be awarded for the offenders. For copying from another student, both students get the same
penalty of zero mark.
c) The department disciplinary committee constituted with the faculty member, PAC Chairperson, and the
HoD, as members shall verify the facts of the malpractice and award the punishment if the student found
guilty,
