IN-DEPTH ROADMAP

A curriculum built around real engineering

MODULE 01

Basic Electrical, Components & Industrial Control Panels

2 Weeks

Master fundamental electrical parameters, power and control wiring, switching devices, motor circuits, and safety protection.

What You Will Learn

  • Voltage (V), Current (I), Resistance (R), Ohm's Law (V = I × R), and Power calculations (P = V × I)
  • AC vs DC fundamentals, multimeter measurements (DC battery, AC socket safely), Phase, Neutral, and Earth
  • Passive components: resistors, capacitors, diodes, series vs parallel circuits, and voltage drop tests
  • Switching devices: push buttons, limit switches, relay working principles, NO/NC contacts, and contactors
  • Wiring relay circuits: Switch → Relay → Lamp, and building relay-based latching ON/OFF systems
  • AC motor basics: single-phase vs three-phase, reading motor nameplates, direct ON/OFF motor wiring, and rotation reversal
  • Protection and electrical safety: Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB), fuses, thermal overload relays, and earthing
  • Industrial control panel layout: power wiring vs control wiring, standard electrical symbols, and tracing wiring diagrams
  • Building a mini control panel: MCB, control switch, contactor, relay, and pilot indicator lamps
Hands-on Lab Deliverable

Wire and commission an industrial motor starter control circuit with MCB protection, start/stop push buttons, relay latching, and overload protection.
