ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I am highly thankful to Mr. P.K. Kulshershtha (CM-HR) for providing me

the opportunity to undergo the practical training in the Systems
Production Division (SPD) of Central Electronics Limited. He guided me
from time to time and gave me dynamic ideas and suggestions by which I am
able to complete my training successfully.

I am also thankful to manager of various departments (SPD, SPV, MED, ED)

who during rotation guided me about the works & processing that were
being done in their department.

I am also thankful to all those employees of “CEL” who classified my doubts

& confusion during rotation in the firm. It was a great satisfying experience
having worked in such a professional organization where the process of
learning is never ending.
I also want to thank all the visible and non-visible hands, which helped me

INTRODUCTION :-

Central Electronics Limited is a public sector Enterprise under the Department

of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science & Technology,
Government of India. It was established in 1974 with an objective to commercially
exploit the indigenous technologies developed by national laboratories and R & D
Institutions in the country. CEL is one of the rare companies which utilized the
homegrown technologies during all these years of its existence

CEL has developed a number of products for the

first time in the country through its own R&D
efforts and in close association with the premier
National & International laboratories including
Defense laboratories. In recognition of all these
efforts, CEL has been awarded a number of times
with prestigious awards including “NATIONAL
AWARD for R&D by DSIR”.

CEL is pioneer in the country in the field of Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) and it has
developed state of the art technology with its own R&D efforts. Its solar products
have been qualified to International Standards EC503/IEC1215 by the
European Commission, joint Research center, and ISPRA, ITALY.

CEL, pioneer in the field of Railways Safety & Signaling, has been identified as a
major indigenous agency for design an development of modern electronic
signaling and safety equipment by Indian Railways. The equipment manufactured
in CEL finds extreme usage in Railways in the form of Axle Counter, Axle Counter
Block System and Train Approach Warning devices. CEL’s Digital Axle Counter is
approved as per European CENELEC safety level SIL-4 by RDSO(Research Design
and Standard Organization of Indian Railways )as an approved source in part-1 for
various railway safety and signaling equipments for more than 25 years.

CEL has developed a number of critical components for strategic application and
is supplying these items to Defense.
 Brief History of the Company
And
Collaborating Agency

CEL IS A HIGH-TECHNOLOGY COMPANY

Central Electronics Ltd. is a public sector enterprise, under the

administrative control of the Deptt. Of Scientific & Industrial Research.

CEL is a pioneer in the field of solar Photovoltaic in the country and is today
ranked among the first few in the world in this area of activity. CEL is also
credited with many firsts in the country, professional Ferrites being one of
them.

CEL is presently engaged in the development, production and sale of selected

electronic components (Professional Ferrites, Electronics Ceramics and
Phase Shifters), selected electronic systems, solar photovoltaic cells,
modules and SPV systems and to take up engineering development &
production based on indigenous technology developed through in house
efforts or know how from National Laboratories / Institutions.

The Operations of the company are divided into three Business Groups.
Solar Photovoltaic Group (SPVG), Systems Group (SG) and Components
Group (CG).

SOLAR WATER PUMPING SYSTEMS:
A Solar Photovoltaic Water Pumping System essentially consists of an SPV panel or
array directly powering a water pump. Water pumped during the day can be stored in
the storage tanks for use during the night.
CEL offers SPV Water Pumping Systems for both shallow as well as deep well
conditions. Such systems have been deployed all over the country. The system has also
been exported to many developing countries.
The generated electricity from the SPV array is fed to the pump through a switch.
Normally low storage batteries are provided, as the water can be stored in the storage
tanks if required.

SOLAR LANTERN
SOLAR LANTERN is a versatile and reliable source of lighting. It comprises a Lantern,
Solar Photovoltaic ( SPV ) module and a connecting cable. The SPV module when
exposed to sunlight charges the battery in the lantern. This stored energy in the battery
is used to operate the lamp when required. Solar Lantern consists of a 7W CFL
( light out put equivalent to a 40W incandescent
lamp) which can be used for 3 -4 hours daily. The
system comprises SPV Panel , lantern ( with
maintenance free lead acid battery) and a
detachable connecting cord.

SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC
LIGHTING SYSTEMS:
CEL’s Solar Photovoltaic Lighting Systems are
ideal sources for providing indoor/outdoor illumination in remote and unelectrified
settlements/ villages. The SPV Lighting System essentially consists of an SPV panel
battery, a charge controller and lights. The SPV panel converts the sunlight incident on
it directly to DC electricity that can be stored in the battery and used to energize the
lights when required. The charge controller prevents the overcharging and deep
discharge of the battery.

SPV INDOOR LIGHTING SYSTEMS:

2 or 4 nos . of 9W CFL of high luminous

efficiency (light output equivalent to a 60W
incandescent lamp) with built - in inverter.
The system comprises SPV Panel, charge
controller , storage battery and indoor
luminaries.
CEL SPV Community systems are suitable for
Home Lighting Systems powering lamps and a TV set . The system
at Hospital in Namibia comprises SPV panel , charge controller,
storage battery and indoor luminaries and a power point for TV set.

SPV OUTDOOR LIGHTING SYSTEMS:

These systems use a weatherproof 18-Watt or 20- Watt fluorescent tube light
fittings . Two models SLS - 03 and SLS-06 are available depending on hours of
operation in day.
Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) has
the unique feature of switching 'ON' at
dusk and 'OFF' at dawn automatically.
The system comprises SPV Panel,
battery and luminary fittings mounted
suitably on a pole.
