COURSE NAME : ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

1. RATIONALE :
Due to the liberalization policy there is a rise in the establishment of new
medium and large scale industries. Modernisation of old industries are also
in progress. These industries require highly skilled technicians/ engineers
basically expert in electrical installations commissioning and testing of newly
purchased modern electrical equipment/ machines or process instruments for
establishing new industries and for modernisation of old (running) industries.
The technician should be able to prepare foundation ( proper size and height)
for installation of electrical equipment/ machines, meters, process instruments
etc. He should be able to test various equipments before commissioning and
after commissioning as per specification of machines/ instruments as per I.S.
He should carry out electrical and mechanical test and prepare test reports.
He should also have expertise in maintenance of electrical equipments and
machine. Efforts are made to develop these skills in the students through this
course.
