Details regarding a few R&D project are listed below:
 |
CERN Project - RRCAT |
 |
Large Hadron Collider, popularly known as the Big Bang Theory- Europe. Interactive Lab in India- Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT)
In order to begin the project to recreate the Big Bang believed to have started the beginnings of life on earth, the CERN project needs to simulate the smashing of protons at very high speeds.
To smash the protons very powerful superconducting magnets are lined inside the 27km tunnel of the LHC.
The equipment to wind the superconducting magnet was designed and developed by PADMCO and subsequently provided to Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRACT) – Indore, in a record Eight months. more information

IPR Project |
|
Institute for Plasma Research participating in the ITER fusion project being conducted worldwide by various countries, to produce power for consumer consumption.
ITER (originally the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is an international tokomak (magnetic confinement fusion) research/engineering project that could help to make the transition from today's studies of plasma physics to future electricity-producing fusion power plants. It builds on research done with devices such as DIII-D, EAST, KSTAR, TFTR, ASDEX Upgrade, Joint European Torus, JT-60, Tore Supra and T-15.
Although there are over 200 projects for the ITER fusion reactor worldwide, the winding of the superconducting magnet required for the reactor is still in the prototype stage.
The prototype for the European ITER project has been awarded to Mitsubishi Japan.
PADMCO is currently in the process of developing the winding set up to wind this magnet for IPR for their part in the ITER project and anticipates having this in production in 2011. more information

R&D Project - B.H.E.L. Bhopal |
|
(1)To prepare extra large length high voltage condenser bushing by using tape instead of paper since large width of insulation paper not available.
(2)Bar to Bar Automatic testing set up for testing of Traction Motors. The Set up has scanning of commutators and data logging, computers with virtual instrumentation.
(3) Pioneer of Toroidal Winding Technology for Coil winding. (Transmission losses could be reduced to a great extent if Toroidal Technology is used for distribution transformers for transmitting electric power.)
Indian Navy-Designed, developed and made electronic components for Indian Navy.
Superconducting Magnets and Winding Equipment-Designed, developed and made equipment to manufacture superconducting magnets required for Nuclear Reactors and Research.
