Electrical energy is the
indispensable form of energy for the functioning of day-to-day life. Every
person needs a foundational understanding of electrical systems to ensure safe
interaction with any electrical setup. The knowledge of electrical components
and its connections, helps in identifying common malfunctions in electrical
setups and devices. Electricity is utilized in our homes through proper
electrical wiring. Correct wiring ensures that all electrical appliances and
systems will work efficiently by reducing energy consumption.
Everyone needs an electrician
for initial wiring and periodic maintenance, creates a high demand for skilled
professionals. Understanding the electrician trade and having basic wiring
knowledge can reduce the need for professional services for minor tasks.
Awareness of wiring principles aids in conducting regular maintenance checks,
preventing major issues and empowers individuals to maintain a safe, efficient
and reliable electrical system in their homes. In alignment with these
objectives, this course is designed to offer comprehensive knowledge and skills
necessary for working with any electrical setup.
The
initial modules of this course will cover an overview of electricity, the
components of electrical circuits, and the fundamental rules governing them.
Since magnetism is important in electrical circuits, the course will also delve
into the importance of magnetism, the magnetic properties of materials, and the
magnetic effects of electric current. Next, the course will discuss the
production of alternating current (AC), various configurations of AC circuits,
and the instruments used for electrical measurements. Additionally, the course
will offer in-depth knowledge about electrical wires and cables, different
types of cable joints, wiring accessories and tools, and various electrical
wiring types. The design of electrical wiring diagrams and electrical
distribution panels for domestic installations will also be emphasized.
Earthing
is a vital component of electrical wiring systems. The course will also cover
the requirements, processes and types of earthing, along with ground testing
methods. Finally, the course will address the importance of safety practices,
Indian electricity rules and regulations, the concept and applications of
semiconductor devices and the scope, responsibilities, and training of
electricians. Practical demonstrations of household wiring installation will be
integrated throughout the course.
