IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES

I. Introduction (Time Frame: Day1)

Wire ways are units of assembly of troughs used for housing and protecting electric wire and cable and in which
conductors are laid in place after the wire way has been installed as a complete system.
Provisions for Metal Wire Ways
1. No conductor larger than that for which the wire way is designed shall be installed in any wire way.
2. Shall not contain more than 30 current carrying conductors at any cross section.
3. Where insulated conductors are defected within the wire way of greater than 30 degrees.
4. Splices and top shall be permitted within a wire way provided.
5. Dead end of wire way shall be closed.
6. Extensions from wire ways shall be made with cord pendants.
7. Wire ways shall be marked so that their manufacturers name or trademark will be visible after installation.
8. Grounding shall be in accordance with the provision of Article 2.50 of PEC.
Development (Time Frame: Day 2)

Provisions for Non Metallic Wire Ways

Uses Permitted:
1. Only for exposed work, except as permitted.
2. Where subject to corrosive vapors.
3. In wet location where listed for the purpose.

Uses Not Permitted

1. Where subject to physical damage.
2. In any hazardous location, except as permitted
3. Where exposed to sunlight values listed and marked as suitable for the purpose.
4. Where subject to ambient temperature.
5. For conductors whose insulation temperature limitation would exceed those for which the non – metallic wire way is listed.

Learning Task 1

E. Engagement (Time Frame: Day 3)

Wire ways and cable troughs are designed to protect electrical wires from dust, dirt, water and oil. They are available in
various styles, sizes and fittings for use for wide range of voltages. They are often used to house and protect power and
communications cables for commercial, institutional, industrial and utility needs. These wire way systems consist of wire way and
appropriate fittings to complete the installation per the electrical drawings. Electrical wire ways are often furnished with polyester
powder coat paints. They are available with factory installed dividers to separate power and low voltage wiring housed in the
same wire way sections. The material thickness is based on wire way dimensions according to requirements. The base and cover
of wire ways are factory assembled and fitted with wing nuts and screws for positive latching. Some wire way bases are provided
with electrical knockouts. They are available with spectrum dimensions like wide and deepness.

Learning Task 2
Answer the questions elaborately on wire ways discussion. Write your answers on your answer sheet or work sheet
notebook.

1. How significant are wire ways in proper telephone installation?

A. Assimilation (Time Frame: Day 4)

Types of Wire Ways

1. Metal Wire Ways – are sheet metal through with hinged or removable covers for housing and protecting electric wire and
cable and in which conductors are laid in place after the wire way has been installed as a complete system.

2. Non Metallic Wire Ways – are flame retardant, non-metallic through with removable covers for housing and protecting
electric wire and cables in which conductors are laid in place after the wire way has been installed as a complete system.
 Installer should have the familiarity over those material or components that will be needing. There must be the right
choice of materials base on the provision given by the authority so that hazards, and back job will be avoided.

Learning Task 4
Illustrate the material below. Utilizing of any software and apps in illustration is highly encourage. Insert your printed output
in your answer sheet or work sheet notebook.

1. Metal wire ways

2. Non-metal wire ways
3. Telescopic fittings
