Introductory Message

Welcome to TLE 7/8 - IA (Electrical Installation and Maintenance)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Bago City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults)
in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is a self-directed instructional material aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

*For the learning facilitator:

The TLE 7/8 - IA (Electrical Installation and Maintenance) Learning

Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-learning activities specified in
each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face
encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to the learners with
the references/links to ease the independent learning.

*For the learner:

The TLE 7/8 - IA (Electrical Installation and Maintenance) Learning

Activity Sheet) is developed to help you continue learning even if you are not in
school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities
for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and understand the
instructions then perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be
returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

LO 1 Select electrical measuring tools and instruments
1.1 Identify object or component to be measured
1.2 Choose test instruments to be used for specific tasks
TLE_IAEI7/8MC-0c-1

II. Background Information for Learners

Electrical measuring tools and instruments are sensitive and delicate so extra
care is necessary in handling them. These are used to measure currents, voltages,
resistances, wattages and other important elements in electrical works.
Read and understand the key concepts presented below on how to select electrical
measuring tools and instruments.

TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Measurement is the process or the result of determining the ratio of a physical

quantity, such as a length, time, temperature, etc., to a unit of measurement, such
as the meter, second or degree Celsius. The science of measurement is called
metrology.
The English word measurement originates from the Latin mēnsūra and the
verbmetiri through the Middle French mesure.

MEASURING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Different kinds of measuring tools and precision measuring

instruments are as follows:

4
Measuring tool/instrument Description

Test Light is a pocket size tool used to test

the line wire or circuit if there is current in it.

Micrometer is used to measure the

diameter of wires/conductors in circular
mils. It can measure small and big sizes of
wires and cables.

Wire Gauge is used in determining the size

of wires/conductors. The gauge ranges
from 0 to 60 awg (American wire gauge).

Ruler/foot rule is a measuring tool used to

measure length, width and thickness of
short flat object and in sketching straight
lines.

Pull-Push Rule is a measuring tool used

to measure the length of an object in
centimeter and inches.

Ammeter is an instrument used to

measure the amount of electrical current
intensity in a circuit. The unit of measure is
ampere (a). It is connected along or series
to the circuit.

5
 Voltmeter is an instrument used to
measure electrical pressure or voltage of a
circuit. The unit of measure is volt (v). This
is connected across or parallel to the
circuit.

Clamp Ammeter is also called tong-tester.

It is used to measure current flowing in a
conductor. It is clamped or hanged in a
conductor

Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM) otherwise called

III. as Multi-tester; is used to measure the
voltage, resistance and current of a circuit.
It is connected in parallel or series with the
circuit depending on what to measure.
