Instructors

IIT Roorkee Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

1: What is digital protection in a power system?

It is an understanding of the principles and techniques underlying the application of digital technology and algorithms to protection.

2: How are the classes for the Digital Protection of Power System Online Course being held?

The classes for the course under Swayam are conducted in virtual mode.

3: Why is the protection of the power system important?

It is important as usage of power system protection detaches the faulty section from the system to make the rest of the portion work without any disturbance and is used to prevent the flow of fault current.

4: Who is the instructor for this course?

The instructor is Prof. Bhaveshkumar R. Bhalja from the Electrical Engineering department at IIT Roorkee.

5: Which IIT is providing this course?

Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee), one of the prominent institutions in India, is providing this certificate course.
