end
will hold the wire and the other will remove
the insulation,
has spring to retain to original position.

Electrical Measuring Instrument / Equipment

Multimeter or Multi-
tester – It is an electrical
device that measures
voltage, current and
resistance.
Pipe bender – a
tool used to bend
rigid metallic
conduit using
hands and/or
foot
Hydraulic Pipe
bender – this type of
bender uses
hydraulic (oil)
pressure to bend
various sizes of
metallic pipes.
Angle Grinder – an
electric tool that has a
replaceable disc and
can be used in
cutting, grinding, and
polishing.
the most common
electrical
materials/devices:
Convenience Outlet (CO)- is 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 and usually
fastened on the wall or connected
in an extension cord. This can be
surface type or flush type.
Switch - is a device that
connects and disconnects the
flow of electric current in a
circuit. There are many
shapes, designs and types
and are classified as hanging,
flush and surface types.
Receptacle - is a device that
holds the lamp in place to safely
Flush type
connect the wires to the circuit.
This is usually made of porcelain or
plastic and classified as flush,
hanging (weather-proof/chain) and
surface types.

Hanging type
Hanging type
Junction Box - an octagonal
shaped electrical material where
the connections or joints of wire
are being done. It is also where
the flush type receptacle is
attached. This could be made of
metal or (PVC)
Polyvinylchloride.
Utility Box - a rectangular
shaped metallic or plastic
(PVC) material where flush
type convenience outlets
and switches are attached.
Male Plug - a device
inserted to a convenience
outlet from a current
consuming appliance.
Conduits/Pipes - electrical materials
used as the passage of wires for
protection and insulation. These
could be rigid metallic, rigid
nonmetallic, flexible nonmetallic,
and flexible metallic conduit
Fuse - a circuit protective device that
automatically melts the thin strand
of wire inside to cut the current when
an overload or short circuit happens.
 Circuit breaker – a protective device
that is reusable after tripping, used to
cut off the current automatically
when trouble in the circuit such as
short circuit or overload occurs.
Electrical Wire – usually made of copper/aluminum,
serves
as the conductor of electricity. It can be:

Solid wire Stranded wire

Clamps - electrical
materials used to hold
and anchor electrical
conduits to their proper
position.
Connectors - used to
attach metallic or
nonmetallic conduit
to
the junction or utility
boxes.

adhesive tape made of
vinyl used to cover
exposed electrical wire.
