HOW TO USE THIS MODULE

Welcome to the module “Install Electrical Protection System for


Lightning and Grounding”. This module contains training materials and
activities for you to complete.

The unit of competency “Installing Electrical Protection” contains the


knowledge, skills and attitudes required for Building Wiring Installation
course required to obtain the National Certificate (NC) level II.

You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to


complete each of the learning outcomes of the module. In each learning
outcome there are Information Sheets, Job Sheets, Operation Sheets
and Activity Sheets. Do these activities on your own and answer the Self-
Check at the end of each learning activity.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask your teacher for assistance.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You may already have some basic knowledge and skills covered in this
module. If you can demonstrate competence to your teacher in a particular
skill, talk to him/her so you do not have to undergo the same training
again. If you have a qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous
trainings, show it to him/her. If the skills you acquired are consistent with
and relevant to this module, they become part of the evidence. You can
present these for RPL. If you are not sure about your competence/skills,
discuss this with your teacher.

After completing this module, ask your teacher to assess your


competence. Result of your assessment will be recorded in your competency
profile. All the learning activities are designed for you to complete at your
own pace.

In this module, you will find the activities for you to complete and
relevant information sheets for each learning outcome. Each learning
outcome may have more than one learning activity.

This module is prepared to help you achieve the required competency in


receiving and relaying information. This will be the source of information
that will enable you to acquire the knowledge and skills in Building Wiring
Installation NC II independently at your own pace with minimum
supervision from your teacher.

Module Title: Installing Electrical Protection

INTRODUCTION:

This module contains the “know” and “do” units in installing electrical
protection.

It covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes required in installing


electrical protection system needed before starting work. Tools are inspected
and prepared. Proper checking must also be done before commencing work
so that lubrications and auxiliary parts are per enterprise specifications.
Proper storing must also be practiced.

This module consist of two (2) Learning Outcomes (LO’s) that contains
learning activities for both knowledge and skills supported with information
sheets, job/operation sheets and self-check. Before attempting to perform
the manual exercises, see to it that you have already read and understood
the information/operation sheet and answered correctly the self-check
provided in every Learning Activities.

SUMMARY OF LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon completion of the module, the students shall be able to:

LO1. Layout and install fuse panel

LO2. Layout and install panel board

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Refer to the assessment criteria of learning outcomes 1-3 of this module.
