Dear Parents,
The Schools Division of Calamba City is one with every Filipino family in
coping with the demands of our modern times amidst Covid–19 Pandemic.
The Division initiated Self Learning Module (SLM) aims to meet the most
essential learning competencies required to be learned by your child whether your
child opts for online, modular or blended learning modality. The learning activities in
this SLM are arranged chronologically from simple to complex to lead your child to
think critically, act skillfully, and reflect deeply on each lesson and practice into real
life skills. Most importantly, this SLM promotes self-paced learning as your child can
always review the least understood lessons as often as he/she pleases.
Thank you in advance for being one with us! Together, let us envision that, by
the end of this school year, we will see your child as one responsible young person
with a heart and mind for humanity, for nature, for the country, and for God.

Dear Learner,
Welcome to a brand-new year of learning!
This is our gift to you: The Division initiated Self Learning Module (SLM) that
will help you acquire the most essential learning competencies you needed as 21st
Century Learner through the Pivot
4 A IDEA Model which compose of 10 parts.

Types of Electric Discharge Fluorescent Lamps

Pre-Heat, Hot Cathode

This requires starter (glow switch) and is pre-heated during starting. It

uses a
ballast to produce high voltage to start the lamp into operation and to
limit the
flow of current.

Cold Cathode

This requires high voltage in its operation. This lamp has electrodes
made of
thimble-type iron. It is not pre-heated and does not require a starter for
starting. Special high voltage transformers operate it. Neon and mercury
lamps are classified under cold cathode lamps.

Instant Starting Hot Cathode

The lamp cathode in the instant-start is not pre-heated. Sufficient

voltage is applied across the cathodes to create an instantaneous arc.

Hot Cathode, Rapid Start

These are similar in construction to the preheat lamps; the basic
difference is in the circuitry. This circuit eliminates the delay inherent in preheat
circuits by keeping the lamp cathodes energized (preheated).

The Incandescent Light Bulb

The first incandescent electric light was made in 1800 by

Humphry Davy, an English Scientist

Thomas Alva Edison experimented with thousands of

different filaments to find just the right materials to
glow well and be long lasting.

Parts of an Incandescent Light Bulb

1. Coiled Tungsten Filament - The metal wires that glow brightly when electricity
flows through them.
2. Electrical Contacts - The metallic base of the bulb, which connects to the electrical
contacts of the lamp when the bulb is in the lamp.
3. Glass Envelope - The thin layer of glass that surrounds the light bulb mechanism
and the inert gases.
4. Mixture of Inert gases at low pressure - The bulb is filled with inert (non-reactive)
gases.
5. Screw Cap - The bulb is filled with inert (non-reactive) gases.
6. Support Wires - Wires that physically hold up the filament.

Operation of Incandescent Lamp

What makes a light bulb glow?
The thin wire, or filament, inside a light bulb resists the flow of current through it. When
electricity is passed through the bulb, the filament becomes hot and glows brightly. To
prevent the filament burning away completely, the glass bulb filled with a mixture of
inert gas (argon and nitrogen). The filament in most light bulbs is made of tungsten.

Fluorescent lamps have more components compared to incandescent lamps and when
installed in pairs or groupings, things may go wrong and things get more complicated. In this
scenario, troubleshooting is necessary.

Troubleshooting - is problem detecting and solving, often applied to repair defective
gadgets or products like fluorescent lamp fixtures. It is a systematic search for the
source of a problem so that it can be solved,
to make the gadgets or products operational again.

corrective action that should be taken.

Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent

various 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 works. Practically, any electrical fixture found in a
house has a symbol that coincides with said fixture on an electrical wiring
diagram. These are very useful guide for an electrician or electrical
contractor, thus, making the wiring easier to install.

The following are General Electrical Symbols used in sketching in wiring

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM- is a wiring diagram using standard

electrical symbols for wiring devices. It is a representation of the
elements of a system using abstract and graphic symbol rather
than realistic pictures.

LINE DIAGRAM- is a presentation of electrical connections of

wiring devices using single line and with slashes indicating the
number of conductors in a line.

Line Diagram of

exact cost after completion of the project. Estimation requires a thorough
Knowledge of the construction procedures and cost of materials & labor in addition
to the skill, experience, foresight and good judgment.

Estimation of the materials includes the following:

1. Instrument
2. Materials and its quantity
3. Tools and its Quantity
4. Personal Protective Equipment
 SAMPLE ESTIMATING PROCEDURE
Estimate electrical materials for the installation of one incandescent lamp controlled
by a single pole switch using flexible non metallic conduit in a 4’ x 4’ x ¾” wiring
board.

Wood screws (1/4x1/2) 30 pieces
Electrical tape 1 roll
Solid/ Stranded Wire 30 m
Plastic Flexible conduit 5 meters
Wiring board 4’ x 4’ x ¾ 1 piece
C. Tools
Phillip screwdriver 1 piece
Flat screwdriver 1 piece
Side Cutting Pliers 1 piece
Diagonal Cutting Pliers 1 piece
Long Nose Pliers 1 piece
Push Pull Tape Rule 1 piece
Claw Hammer 1 piece
Gimlet 1 piece

Learning Task 2: Estimating Wiring Diagrams

In a short bond paper, Estimate electrical materials for the installation of two
incandescent lamps which one lamp is controlled by two three way switches and
the other lamp is controlled by a single pole switch using flexible nonmetallic
conduit in a 4’ x 4’ x ¾” wiring board. Use the wiring diagram below as a reference.

A
Learning Task 3: Illustrate and estimate
In a short bond paper, draw a wiring diagram of one lamp controlled by a
single pole switch and a convenience outlet. Estimate electrical materials for the
installation using flexible nonmetallic conduit in a 4’ x 4’ x ¾” wiring board.

1. Kinds of High Intensity Discharge Lamp
2. Kinds of High Intensity Discharge Lamp Learning Task 4
3. Classification of Incandescent Lamps 1. The thin wire, or filament, inside a light bulb resists the flow
4. Classification of Incandescent Lamps of current through it. When electricity is passed through the
5. Kinds of High Intensity Discharge Lamp bulb, the filament becomes hot and glows brightly. To prevent
the filament burning away completely, the glass bulb filled with
a mixture of inert gas (argon and nitrogen). The filament in
most light bulbs is made of tungsten.
Week 5
Learning Task 1 Learning Task 2
1. Fact 1. Lamp fails to light. No Flickering 5 Leak in the lamp tube
2. Bluff 2. Slow or intermittent Starting 6. No electrical power to the lamp fixture
3. Bluff 3. Short life span of the lamp 7. Loose contact between the lamp and the lamp holder.
4. Fact 4. Blinking and flickering 8. Improper wiring
5. Fact 9. Defective Ballast
Learning Task 3
1. Inspect visually the lamp tube for possible cracked or damaged. If there is, replace with a new one.
2. No electrical power to the lamp fixture
3. Adjust the lamp and set it properly. Clean dirty sockets thoroughly. Check the spacing of the lamp holders. If they are
too far apart, make needed adjustments. If damaged, replace the lamp holders.
4. Check the wiring connections to see whether it follows the diagram on the ballast label.
 5. Check the ballast. This may be determined by checking continuity between the leads of the ballast. If the pointer of the
multi-tester deflects a little the ballast is good; if it deflects fully, the windings of the ballast is shortened and f it will not
deflect, the winding is open. Replace the ballast.
6. Loose contact between the lamp and the holder
7. Test starter in adjacent fixture. If this does not work, replace the starter.
8. Check the wiring connections to see whether it follows the diagram on the ballast label.
9. Avoid unnecessary turning on and off the circuit, to maximize the life span of the lamp.
10. Impurities inside the lamp
