What This Module Is About
What would our lives be like without electricity? How do you feel
whenever a brownout occurs? A power interruption certainly throws our lives
offbalance, affecting so much of our activities whether this is in the home,
office, or industry. No doubt, electricity is a necessity. But how is it
transmitted? How it is controlled?
Electrical wires and cables, no doubt, play an important part in our
day-to-day lives and activities.
This module is designed to help you identify the significant
relationship between wires and cables, electrical symbols, wiring diagrams,
and flexible armored cable. Through this, you will gain a better understanding
on the important uses of wires and cables in the transmission of electricity.

What’s New
Definition of Terms:
● Wires - are those conductors in 3.26mm or no.8AWG and smaller in sizes.
● Cables - on the other hand, are those which are larger than wires. So, wires
are small cable while cables are big wires.

# 26AWG 0.403mm # 3AWG 5.827mm
What is It
Let’s Discuss!
This module is written to introduce to the learner to the fascinating world of
electricity. It will not just arouse interest in electricity but hopefully will encourage the
learner to find the opportunity and see it as a money-making venture, whether as a
source of income or a lifelong career. Even if you do not pursue it as a career,
gaining an appreciation and working knowledge of electrical services can be useful
in your everyday lives.
This module has the hands- On practices in installation of Electrical Lighting
System on Auxiliary Outlets and Lighting Fixtures. This module covers wires and
cables, electrical symbols, wiring diagram, and installation activities using armored
cable, n0n- metallic sheathed cable and flexible metallic tubing.
Wires are those conductors 3.26mm or No. 8AWG and smaller in sizes.
Cables are those which are larger than wires. Therefore, wires are small cable while
cables are big wires.
Wires and cables ae either:
● Stranded wire- it contains a group of wires twisted to form a metallic
string.
● Solid wire- consist only of single conductor.
Generally, wires and cables available in the market are even numbers in
American Wire Gauage.
Below is a simple schematic diagram of an electric circuit. Label the parts of the
circuit.
7
A complete circuit has different components. These are the components of a
complete circuit
1. Source of current – this is where the electricity is taken to supply energy to
appliances and gadgets.
2. Switch – is used to control the flow of current.
3. Load – is considered as the current consuming device.
4. Wire – is used as the path of electric current.
In Electrical Installation and Maintenance the use of correct sizes of wires is very
important. The number of loads at home corresponds to the number of wires to be
used in the electrical installation at home. Another important consideration in house
wiring installation is the computation of loads. The most common sizes of wires used
are wires number 14 AWG and number 12 AWG. In lighting circuit the number 14
AWG wire is used. While in convenience outlets the number 12 AWG size of wire is
used. In electrical installation you should use the correct tools for the right job. Safety
measures are also taken up for the safety of the learners.
To avoid overloading, short circuit, and faulty wiring correct sizes of wires and
types of wires are used in the electrical installation. The sizes of wires determines
the current capacity the wires can carry. Bigger wires can carry large amount of
current while small wires can carry small amount of current. House wiring installation
uses small wires while electrical transmission lines uses big wires.
Types of Lighting Fixtures:
Most people take the light bulb for granted, a most common fixture we see
everywhere- in homes, offices, in the community.
The lamp is the most essential fixtures in electricity since it provides light uring
the worlds dark hours.

What I Need to Know
Are you ready for another fun learning experience In this
lesson you are expected to achieve the following objectives:
Learning Competencies:

● Lesson 2 Common Electrical Symbols

What I Know
What’s In
15
In our previous lesson, we discuss about the wires and cables that are used in
household and building wiring installation. Some of the common electrical symbols
are used in sketching or drawing electrical plans. In order for the electrician to have a
guide in household wiring they must follow an electrical plan which uses electrical
symbols.
In this lesson, we will be dealing with the important electrical symbols that will
guide us in making electrical plans.
16
What’s New
Are you ready? Let’s get to know the common electrical symbols!
Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent many
electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit.
These symbols are used in sketching schematic diagrams and electrical plans
for numerous types of electrical activities. Practically, the electrical fixture found in
the house or building has a symbol that corresponds with the said fixture on an
electrical wiring diagram. These are very important guide for an electrician or
electrical worker, thus making the wiring easier to install.
What is it
Let’s Discuss!
17
Electrical symbols are divided into five basic categories. These are the following
1. General outlets
2. Convenience receptacles
3. Switches
4. Panels, Circuits, and various components
● General outlets refer to various types of outlet and junction box. This type of
outlet can be used for a switch, appliance or lighting fixtures such as
incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, chandeliers.
● Convenience receptacles are outlets for power connection or source.
● Switches are indicated by the letter S. Some symbols, aside from the letter,
are used to designate the switch required. For example, a threeway switch is
indicated by the symbol S3W.
Electrical symbols are used to represent the actual fixtures, receptacles, and
system to be used in the layout of all electrical installation. They are used to speed
up the work and eliminate the use, or spelling out, of the word for each component.
Electrical symbols are representation of the actual devices used in the
installation. The most common receptacle used is the duplex receptacle. The symbol
used is a circle with lines. The lines indicate the type of receptacle: one line for single
receptacle, two lines for duplex, and three lines for triplex.
For lighting fixtures, the symbols usually used are circles for incandescent
lamps and rectangles with small circles inside for fluorescent lamps.
The following are the Common Electrical Symbols used in sketching wiring
plan and diagrams.
