 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the Electrical Installation and Maintenance. The scope of this module permits it
to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the
diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into one lesson, namely:

L.O 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 tools and to identify
alternative measuring tools without sacrificing cost and quality of work.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

• Measuring tools and instruments are selected/ classified as per object to be
measured on job requirements.
• Measurements are obtained according to job requirements.

 Lesson
L.O 1 Select Electrical Measuring
2 Tools and Instruments

What’s In

Electrical tools are tools used to work on an electrical system. These can
include a variety of tools and one of its variety are the electrical measuring tools and
instruments. 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.

What’s New

In today’s society, electricity is being used everywhere. It is used for residential,

industrial, transportation, commercial and most importantly we are using it for our
education. It shows that electricity is indeed an important part of our lives and
properly measuring it using proper electrical measuring tools and instruments is
indeed important.

What is It
In this lesson about the Electrical Measuring Tools and Instruments, we are
not just going to identify the tools and instruments used in measuring electricity, we
are also going to tackle its definition and where and how to properly use it. It is
important for us to know these things, so that the next time we are being ask to
measure electricity which is an essential knowledge, we will know how to properly
measure it by the use of the right electrical measuring tools and instruments.

MEASURING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS

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.

3
 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.

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 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.
