    Good

    Morning!

    { Teacher
    OBJECTIVES
    To be able to identify
    common materials/
    supplies in electrical
    wiring installations.
    COMMON
    MATERIALS/SUPPLIES USED
    IN THE INSTALLATION OF
    ELECTRICAL WIRING.
    1. Convenience outlet- a device that
    acts as a convenient source of electrical
    energy for current consuming appliances.
    It is where the male plug of an appliance is
    inserted, usually fastened on the wall or
    connected in an extension cord. It maybe
    single, duplex, triplex or multiplex.
    CONVENIENCE OUTLET

    a)

    a) Surface type (duplex)


    b) Flush type (duplex)
    b)
    2. MALE PLUG - a device inserted
    to a convenience outlet to conduct
    electric current. A flat
    cord is attached to it
    on one end and the
    other end is connected to a current
    consuming instrument or appliance.
    3. LAMP HOLDERS - devices
    that hold and protect the lamp and
    are also called as―Lamp Sockets/
    Receptacles. These come in many
    designs and sizes.
    Types of LAMP HOLDERS:
    a. Flush type
    b. Surface type
    c. Hanging a) b)
    (weather proof)
    d. Hanging (chain)
    c) d)
    4. SWITCH - a device that
    connects and disconnects the
    flow of electric current in a
    circuit.
    Types of SWITCH:

    1. Surface type

    2. Flush type

    3. Hanging type
    5. FUSE - a circuit protective device
    that automatically blows and cut
    the current when and over load or
    short circuit happens.
    a) Cartridge
    b) Plug type
    c) Knife blade
    6. CIRCUIT BREAKER - a
    protective device used to
    automatically blows and cuts the
    current when trouble in the
    circuit such as short circuit
    or overload occurs.
    7. JUNCTION BOX - an octagonal
    shaped electrical material where the
    connections or joints of wires are
    being done. It is also where the flush
    type lamp holder is attached. This
    could be made of metal or plastic
    (PVC) Polyvinylchloride.
    8. UTILITY BOX - a rectangular
    shaped metallic or plastic (PVC)
    material in which flush type
    convenience outlet and switch are
    attached.
    Metal
    9. FLAT CORD - Is a duplex
    stranded wire used for temporary
    wiring installation and commonly
    used in extension cord assembly. It
    comes with sizes of gage # 18 and
    gage # 16 awg (American wire
    gauge).
    The higher the number , the
    smaller is the diameter of the
    wire.

    So, gage # 18 is smaller in


    diameter than gage # 16
    10. ELECTRICAL WIRE/
    CONDUCTOR
    Types:
    a. Stranded wire - made of multiple
    strands joined together to make a
    single wire.
    b. Solid wire - made of a single
    strand of copper or aluminum wire.
    These are used in wiring installation
    inside and outside the buildings.
    11. CONDUITS/PIPES- used as
    the passage of wires for protection
    and insulation.
    Types:
    a) flexible metallic conduit (FMC)
    b) rigid nonmetallic (PVC), and
    c) flexible non-metallic or corrugated
    plastic conduit (CPC)
    a) Flexible Non-metallic
    conduit or corrugated plastic conduit
    (CPC)
    b) Metallic conduit

    c) Rigid Non-metallic
    conduit (PVC)
    12. CLAMPS - electrical materials
    used to hold and anchor electrical
    conduits in its proper position.

    Plastic clamp Metal clamp


    13. CONNECTORS - used to
    attach metallic or non-metallic
    conduit to the junction or utility
    boxes.
    a) Metal
    b) Flexible non
    connector
    metallic connector
    ASSIGNMENT
    1. Long Quiz next meeting: (Tools &
    Equipment, and Materials in
    Electrical wiring installations)
    2. Research: Solid and stranded
    copper wires of different sizes:
    #14, #12, #10
