Dr. Karthik Reddy Venna

-Teaching a course module "Introduction to Electrical Power" - Organising the workshop on Power Automation dealing with PSS SINCAL - Optimising the design of High Voltage Vacuum Interrupter using ANSYS MAXWELL

Doing the PhD project in collaboration with SIEMENS Title: A simulation analysis to improve the dielectric strength inside high voltage vacuum interrupters. Area of Research: To improve the design of vacuum interrupters for high voltages in order to avoid the problems of triple junctions and surface flashovers. Designing the structure of insulator as well as metal shields to improve dielectric strength inside the interrupter tube.

Worked on Field grading rings made of conducting plastics which can be used for high voltage vacuum Interrupters

Worked as an Intern in SIEMENS AG Schaltwerk in the department of Primary designing and dealt with SF6 circuit breakers.
