T he d evelo pm en t o f a nu merical protection laboratory is implemented through industry-institute interaction under an MOU. This paper documents the contribution of the major project of final year students on using a digital over-current and earth-fault relay. The latest numerical protection relay has been provided as a replacement for an older version by ABB India Ltd. as a part of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The laboratory experimental panel has been developed through the major project of the final year student group. There was the active participation of ABB India Ltd. by way of providing dedicated training to the student group and faculty members involved in the installation, commissioning, and design of the experimental panel. The results obtained from various case studies are reported in this paper. The facilities created are used for regular laboratory practicals for undergraduate and post-graduate students. The laboratory manuals are prepared to facilitate the implementation of the experiments. The laboratory curriculum has been updated for the UG course "Power System Protection" and the PG course "Advanced Power System Protection and Switchgear". It has resulted in improvement in the placement of UG and PG students. The training of industry and state power utility engineers can also be performed on the experimental panel developed. The outcome of this academic innovation related to industry-institute interaction is that the industry readiness of students has increased.
