Two types:
1) Series
2) Parallel
Materials:
1) Conductor
- Are material that current move freely
2) Insulators
-are materials that impede the current flow
3) Semi-conductors
- Are materials that material conductivity
- Ex; silicon, germanium
ELECTRIC CONDUCTORS
1) Service
- The part of the wiring systems that supplies the required utility
- This supplies the utility required
2) Substation
- Is an auxiliary power station where electric current is converted or step down to the desired
voltage
- Ginapagamit pang step down - transformer
3) Service drop
- Overhead portion of the service extending from the nearest utility pole to the building
4) Service lateral
- Underground portion of the service extending from the main power to the building
5) Service entrance conductor
- The portion that extends from the service drop/service lateral to the service equipment of
the building
-
6) Service equipment
- The part of the building electrical system that constitutes the main control and means of
cut-off of the main electrical supply of the building
- Kung sa plumbing ni sya, mao ni ang gate valve
Consist of:
watt/meter, main circuit breaker, disconnection switch
7) Feeder
- Any conductor extending from the service equipment to the various distribution points of
the building
8) Panel board
- Serves as the point of supply from the difference branch of circuits
9) Branch circuits
- These are the final connection to an electric device
- May supply electricity from a single device to a group of devices
- Categories:
a. Lighting load
b. Miscellaneous power-
c. HVAC load
d. Plumbing and Sanitary equipment load – includes loads that associate water and
sanitary systems
e. Vertical transportation equipment load – eg. Elevator escalators
f. Special equipment load (individual load) – eg. Laboratory equipment
10)
1) Determine the different branch circuits according to the load that they serve.
2) For lighting load
a) determine the lighting outlets by direct counting
b) provide 100 watts maximum loads for each lighting outlet
c) determine the total current load of the circuit (A= W/V)
d) determine the size of the conductor wire for the circuit
e) determine the size of a conduit pipe
f) determine the size or the rating of the used productive device
