Gurwinder Singh (Manager, Power House) is the one who permitted to visit welcomed the trainees and helped them tour the power plant. As they moved from section to section Mr. Singh kept them informed the details of transformer protection, generator protection, transmission line protection & protection of capacitor banks. In this manner, he covered almost everything about the protection of the power system. In addition to that he also explained the switchgear testing, instrument transformers; current transformer testing voltage or potential transformer testing, and associated protection relay.

They thanked him for sparing his valuable time to be with them, for the help and insight into the plant and for allowing them to visit the place.
