Core Electrician Syllabus (1 Year)

 

The course is usually divided into Trade Theory (knowledge and concepts) and Trade Practical (hands-on skills), supported by foundational subjects.

 

1. Trade Theory: Principles and Concepts

 

This module builds the theoretical foundation of electricity and electrical systems.

Electrical Fundamentals (DC & AC Theory):

Basic Concepts: Definitions of Charge, Potential Difference (Voltage), Current, Resistance, Power, and Energy.

Laws: Detailed study and application of Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Laws to DC circuits (Series and Parallel).

AC Circuits: Introduction to Alternating Current (AC) concepts, terms (Frequency, RMS Value, Power Factor), and simple single-phase circuits.

Electrical Materials and Components:

Conductors and Insulators: Types, properties, and selection of different conducting and insulating materials.

Cables and Wires: Various types of cables (e.g., PVC, Armoured, UG Cables), wire joints, crimping, and soldering techniques.

Resistors and Capacitors: Types, color coding, grouping (series and parallel), and basic application.

Magnetism and Electromagnetism:

Principles of magnetism, magnetic circuits, and the laws of Electromagnetism (e.g., Faraday's Laws).

Concept of Self and Mutual Induction.

Batteries and Cells:

Types of cells (Primary and Secondary), Lead-Acid Cell construction, charging and discharging principles, and maintenance.

Basic Measuring Instruments:

Working principle and usage of essential tools like Multimeters, Ammeters, Voltmeters, Wattmeters, and continuity testers.


 

2. Trade Practical: Hands-On Skills

 

This is the most critical component, focusing on workshop safety and actual wiring practice.

Safety and Workshop Practice:

Safety Rules: Rigorous training on electrical safety, use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and identifying safety signs.

First Aid: Emergency response, including artificial resuscitation and handling electrical shock.

Tools: Proper handling and maintenance of common electrician hand tools (pliers, screwdrivers, strippers, crimping tools, hacksaws, etc.).

Basic Wiring and Installation:

Joints and Soldering: Practice making various types of permanent and temporary wire joints.

Domestic Wiring: Practical exercises on wiring systems like PVC conduit, casing-capping, and cleat wiring for domestic installations (e.g., stair-case wiring, godown wiring).

Installation of Accessories: Connecting switches, sockets, distribution boards, MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers), and ELCBs/RCCBs.

Illumination: Wiring and testing different types of lights (Filament, Fluorescent Tube, LED fixtures).

Earthing and Grounding:

Understanding the importance of earthing (grounding).

Practical work on installing Pipe and Plate Earthing systems.

Introduction to Electrical Machines:

Basic testing, connection, and troubleshooting of single-phase motors and small transformers.


 

3. Core/Allied Subjects

 

These subjects provide supporting skills essential for the trade.

Engineering Drawing (ED):

Interpretation of electrical symbols and standard drawing conventions.

Drawing of circuits, wiring diagrams, and freehand sketches of electrical components.

Workshop Calculation & Science (WCS):

Applied mathematics related to the trade (e.g., fractions, ratio, percentage, basic algebra).

Calculations related to resistance, power, area, volume, and material science (mass, weight, density).

Employability Skills:

Basic communication skills.

Introduction to IT/Computer basics.

Safety, health, and environmental education.
