Introductory Message

Welcome to TLE 7/8 - IA (Electrical Installation & 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 self-directed instructional materials 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 learning facilitator:

The TLE 7/8 - IA (Electrical Installation & Maintenance) Activity

Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-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 & Maintenance) 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. Prepare electrical materials and tools for the task
1.1 Prepare a list of electrical tools and materials for a specific job.
TLE_IAEI7/ 8UT-0a-1

II Background Information for Learners

This learner activity sheet is for you to understand different electrical tools,
materials, and equipment, which can be beneficial in doing the electrical related
activities. You can identify tools and materials in preparation for making an extension
cord project and list common tools, materials, and equipment.

Electrical Tools and Equipment

Electrical task can be accomplished systematically to save time, effort, and
resources. Most of the work cannot be done using bare hands alone. Electrical tools
or equipment are needed to do the task and to perform a specific job. This lesson will
discuss the function/use of each tool or equipment used in electrical wiring
installations.
The following are common electrical tools and equipment needed in the
installation of electrical wiring.

I. SCREW DRIVERS.
These tools are made of steel
hardened and tempered at the tip used to
loosen or tighten screws with slotted
heads. They come in various sizes and
shapes.
II. HAMMERS.
These are tools used in driving or
pounding and pulling out nails. They are
made of hard steel, wood, plastic or A C.
 rubber. The following are types of
hammer:
A. Claw hammer B
B. Mallet (rubber head)
C. Ballpeen hammer
III. PLIERS.
These made from metal with
insulators in the handle and are used for
cutting, twisting, bending, holding, and
gripping wires and cables.
IV. Wire Stripper-
A tool used for removing insulation of
medium sized wires ranging from gauge
#10 to gauge #16.
V. Electrician’s Knife.
This is used by linemen to remove
insulation of wire and cables in low and
high voltage transmission lines.
VI. Portable Electric drill.
A small drilling machine with a chuck
capacity of ¼‖ to 3/8‖. It is used in
making holes on metal sheets and
Concrete walls.
VII. Hacksaw. This tool is used to cut
metal conduit and armored cable

Electrical Supplies and Materials are developed and constructed for special
purposes such as to:
1. Control the flow of current in an electrical circuit;
2. Carry electrical current from the source to the load or current consuming
apparatus;
3. Hold and secure wires to its fixtures inside and outside houses and buildings; and
4. Protect the houses, buildings, appliances’ and instruments from any destructions
and damages.
The following are the most commonly used electrical materials:
MATERIALS AND DESCRIPTION PICTURES

Convenience outlet- a device that acts

as a convenient source of electrical
energy for current consuming appliances.
It is where the male plug of an appliance Surface
is inserted and usually fastened on the type(duplex)
wall or connected in an extension cord.
Male plug- a device inserted to a
convenience outlet to conduct electric
current. A flat cord is attached to it on one
end and the other end is connected to a
current consuming instrument or
appliance.
Lamp holders- devices that hold and
protect the lamp and are also called as
―Lamp Sockets/Receptacles‖.

Flush type Hanging (chain)

Surface type Hanging

Switch - a device that connects and
disconnects the flow of electric current in
a circuit. There are many shapes,
designs, and types and they are classified
as hanging, flush, and surface types.
Surface Type Flush type
Hanging type

Fuse - a circuit protective device that

automatically blows and cuts the current
when and over load or short circuit
happens.
Knife blade Cartridge

Circuit Breaker - a protective device used

to automatically blow and cut the current
when trouble in the circuit such as short Circuit breaker
circuit or overload occurs.
Junction Box - an octagonal shaped
electrical material where the connections
or joints of wires are being done. It is also
where the flush type lamp holder is
attached. This could be made of metal or Plastic Metal
plastic (PVC) Polyvinylchloride.
Utility Box - a rectangular shaped
metallic or plastic (PVC) material in which
flush type convenience outlet and switch
are attached. METAL
PLASTIC
Flat Cord- is a duplex stranded wire used
for temporary wiring installation and
commonly used in extension cord
assembly. It comes in a roll of 150 meters Flat
and with sizes of gauge # 18 and gauge cord
# 16 awg (American wire gauge).
Electrical Wire/Conductor- electrical
material that could be:
a. Stranded wire which is made of a. Stranded wire
multiple strands joined together to
make a single wire.
b. Solid wire is made of a single
strand
Of copper or aluminum wire. These b. Solid wire
are used in wiring installation
inside and outside the buildings.
Conduits/Pipes- electrical materials used
as the passage of wires for protection and
insulation.
Metallic conduit

Clamps- electrical materials used to hold

and anchor electrical conduits on its
proper position.
Metal clamp Plastic clamp

Connectors- used to attach metallic or

non-metallic conduit to the junction or
utility boxes. Metal connector Flexible non-
metallic connector
