Odisha CHSE +2 VOC-ITV Wireman Control Panel study plan

Odisha CHSE +2 VOC-ITV Wireman Control Panel · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Electrical Fundamentals and Circuit Theory

  • State and apply Ohm's law, power formulas and series/parallel resistance rules to at least 20 numeric panel-circuit problems without reference notes.

  • Compute voltage, current and power at each branch of a mixed series-parallel control circuit and verify the totals balance.

  • Explain how inductance and capacitance behave in AC control circuits, including phase difference and power factor, in your own written summary.

  • Draw and label the phasor relationship for a simple R-L control coil circuit and calculate impedance and current from given values.

Your checkpoint

A handwritten problem workbook of 20 solved circuit problems with a one-page formula sheet, self-marked against worked solutions.

Week 2

Electrical Fundamentals and Circuit Theory & Motor Control Circuits and Starting Methods

  • Describe the construction and operating principle of DC and three-phase induction motors, including slip and rotating-field production.

  • Differentiate DOL, star-delta, autotransformer and soft-starter starting methods by starting current, torque and typical application.

  • Trace the power and control path of a DOL starter circuit from supply through contactor, overload relay and push buttons.

  • Calculate full-load current for given motor ratings and select an appropriate starter type with justification.

Your checkpoint

A labelled hand-drawn DOL starter schematic plus a comparison table of four starting methods covering current, torque, cost and use case.

Week 3

Motor Control Circuits and Starting Methods & Control Panel Components and Symbols

  • Draw and explain forward-reverse and star-delta control circuits, including interlocking and timer operation.

  • Identify and correctly draw standard contactor, relay, timer, push-button, limit-switch and overload-relay symbols from memory.

  • Interpret a given control-panel schematic and produce a terminal-by-terminal wire list from it.

  • Explain contactor coil ratings, auxiliary contact numbering and holding versus interlocking contacts with examples.

Your checkpoint

A complete star-delta control schematic with an accompanying terminal wire list and symbol legend, checked for interlocking correctness.

Week 4

Domestic and Industrial Wiring Installation & Wiring Materials, Conductors and Accessories

  • Select conductor size, insulation type and current rating for given domestic and industrial load schedules.

  • Compare wiring systems (conduit, casing-capping, cable tray) and justify a choice for a workshop panel installation.

  • Describe the wiring of a distribution board, including sub-circuit division, MCB selection and busbar arrangement.

  • List the accessories needed for a small industrial panel room and state the purpose of each.

Your checkpoint

A load schedule for a small workshop with selected cable sizes, MCB ratings and a wiring-system justification note.

Week 5

Protection, Earthing and Safety Practices & Electrical Measuring Instruments and Testing

  • Distinguish earthing types (plate, pipe, strip) and calculate earthing conductor size and earth resistance targets.

  • Explain the role of MCB, MCCB, ELCB/RCCB, fuse and surge protection in a panel and select devices for given fault conditions.

  • Demonstrate correct use of multimeter, megger, clamp meter and earth tester, including safety precautions before each test.

  • Interpret insulation-resistance and earth-resistance readings and decide whether a circuit passes or needs attention.

Your checkpoint

A testing checklist with recorded sample readings for insulation resistance, earth resistance and continuity, plus pass/fail judgments.

Week 6

Indian Electricity Rules, Codes and Standards & Protection, Earthing and Safety Practices

  • Summarise the key Indian Electricity Rules provisions on earthing, clearance, inspection and licensed work relevant to panel installation.

  • State the purpose and scope of IS/IEC standards commonly cited for switchgear, conductors and protection devices.

  • Identify safety practices for isolation, lockout-tagout, PPE and first aid for electric shock in panel work.

  • Apply rule-based checks to a sample installation scenario and list compliance gaps.

Your checkpoint

A one-page compliance checklist mapping ten installation points to the applicable rule or standard, with a sample scenario audit.

Week 7

Estimation, Costing and Maintenance of Panels & Employability Skills and Workplace Communication

  • Prepare a material take-off and cost estimate for a small control panel, including wastage and labour allowance.

  • Build a preventive maintenance schedule for contactors, relays, busbars and terminal connections.

  • Write clear workplace messages: a fault report, a handover note and a short client explanation of a repair.

  • Use basic employability skills - teamwork, time management and interview-ready self-presentation - in a mock scenario.

Your checkpoint

A panel estimate sheet with itemised costs and a preventive maintenance calendar for one quarter.

Week 8

Electrical Fundamentals and Circuit Theory & Motor Control Circuits and Starting Methods & Protection, Earthing and Safety Practices

  • Revise weak areas flagged in earlier self-tests and re-solve missed problems without notes.

  • Complete two timed full-syllabus mock tests and score each domain separately.

  • Redraw the DOL, forward-reverse and star-delta circuits from memory within a time limit.

  • Consolidate a final one-page formula and rule summary for last-minute revision.

Your checkpoint

Two completed mock tests with a domain-wise score sheet and a written revision plan for any domain below 60 percent.

Milestones

Week 2: Solve 15 mixed circuit and motor-current numericals at 80 percent accuracy in 45 minutes without notes.

Week 4: Draw the DOL and star-delta control circuits from memory, correctly labelling every component and interlock, and produce an accurate wire list.

Week 6: Score at least 70 percent on a self-made 40-question test covering wiring, protection, earthing and rules.

Week 8: Score at least 65 percent overall on both timed mock tests with no domain below 50 percent.
