Electrical materials are
developed and constructed for a
special purpose, such as to:
Convenience outlet
• It is a device that act convenient sources
of energy for current consuming
appliances. It is where the male plug of
an appliances inserted
Common types of
convenient outlet
Surface type
• This type is typically
mounted on the
surface portion of the
wall
Flush type
• This type is
typically buried on
concrete and
attached in a utility
box.
Male plug
• A device inserted in
a convenient outlet
to allow the flow of
current
Lamp holder
• This are the device that hold
the lam and it is also called
lamp sockets or celling
receptacles.
Hanging, flush weather proof
and surface type
Switches
• A device that connect and
disconnect electric current in a
circuit.
• Flush
• Hanging
• Surface type
Fuse
• It is a circuit protective
device that
automatically blown and
cuts the current when
overloaded or short
circit happened
Circuit breaker
• Is a protective device that
automatically trips and cut the
current when trouble in the
circuit such as short circuit or
overload occurs. It contains 2
poles, 3 poles and 4 poles.
Junction Box
• Is an octagonal shaped electrical
materials where connections,
joints or lamination 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) polyvinlylchloride.
Utility Box
• Is a rectangular shaped
metallic or plastic (PVC)
materials in which flush
type convenience outlet
and switch are attracted.
Electrical Wire Conductor could be:
• Is the means in which electrical
current will flow. It is usually made of
copper or aluminum with or without
outside insulation.
Flat Cord
• Is a duplex stranded wire used for
temporary wiring installation and
commonly sed in extension cord
assembly. It comes in a roll of 150
meters and sizes of gauge #18,
gauge#16 AWG and gauge #14
AWG (American wire gauge)
Stranded wire
• Is made of multiple strands
of copper or aluminum
joined together to make a
single wire.
Solid wire
• Is made of a single strand
of copper or aluminum
wire. These are used in
wiring installation inside
and outside the buildings.
Conduits /Pipes
• Are tubes that are used not only to protect wires but
also to route electrical wiring throughout the
building.
Rigid Steel Conduit
(RSC)
• Made of hot-dipped
galvanized inside and
outside and threaded
at both ends.
. Flexible Non-metallic conduit or corrugated plastic conduit (CPC)
• Is flexible corrugated plastic

tubing that is moisture
resistant and flame-
retardant. It is easy to end
and install with snap lock or
glued plastic fittings.
Rigid non-metallic conduit (PVC)
• Is similar to plastic
plumbing pipe and
installs with fittings. It
can be bent after being
heated using portable
heat gun.
Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)
• Are made of electro-
galvanized metal. It is
typically thin and
lightweight. EMT is rigid but
can be bent with a simple
tool called a conduit bender.
Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC)
• Has a spiral construction
that makes it flexible so it
can snake through walls
and other structures.
Liquid Tight Flexible Metal Conduit (LFMC)
• Is a special type of flexible
metal conduit that has a
plastic coating and is used
with sealed fittings to make
it water tight
CLAMPS and CONNECTORS
CONNECTORS
• Are used to
attach metallic or
nonmetallic
conduit to the
junction or utility
boxes.
CLAMPS
• Electrical materials are
used to hold and anchor
electrical conduits to its
proper position.
Direction: Read the statement carefully answer the following question
• Pepito want to install 4 bulb in his room

in order to make it well lighted. what
are the common electrical materials he
will be needing to his project. indicate
the type and quantity of the materials?
write you answer in your note book.
What are the different materials used in electrical installation and
maintenance
• Convenience outlet
• Junction box
• Utility box
• Lamp holder
• Conduit
• Clamp and connectors
• What is the importance
of having a knowledge
in common electrical
materials ?
