Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE 10 – Technical Drafting Module on Drafting

electrical and electronic layout and details using CAD!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed
by its Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou
Concepcion A. Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig
through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized
the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential
Learning Competencies (MELC) in developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also
aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5
Cs, namely: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and
Character while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box
in the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use

this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while
allowing them to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the TLE 10 – Technical Drafting Module on Drafting

electrical and electronic layout and details using CAD!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time.
You will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while
being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectations - This points to the set of knowledge and

skills that you will learn after completing the module.

Pretest - This measures your prior knowledge about the

lesson at hand.

Recap - This part of the module provides a review of

concepts and skills that you already know about a previous
lesson.

Lesson - This section discusses the topic in the module.

Activities - This is a set of activities that you need to

Upon completion of this lesson, you are expected to:

• identify important points to consider in illuminating a room;
• draw a simple room plan and draw the lighting layout of it; and
• appreciate the importance of good and proper lighting.

A. Directions: Identify the steps/procedure in drawing electrical lighting

layout by writing the step number as: step#1, step#2, to step#5 on the
blank provided before each number.

_____ 1. Draw the electrical symbols representing the switches, and lighting
outlets on the floor plan;
_____ 2. Prepare the floor plan;
_____ 3. Determine the number of lighting outlets, and lighting fixtures and
group them according to their circuit number.
_____ 4. Determine the exact position of all lighting fixtures on the plan;
_____ 5. Draw a line from each switch to the connecting fixture;

Directions: Kindly read each item carefully and draw a check mark (/) on the
column that corresponds to your answer.

LESSON 5: DRAFTING ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC LAYOUT AND

DETAILS USING CAD
LO5.1 DRAFT ELECTRICAL PLANS AND LAYOUT

LO5.1.14 ELECTRICAL LIGHTING LAYOUT

GENERAL RULES TO OBSERVE IN ILLUMINATION PLANNING

1. The kitchen requires a high level of general lighting from ceiling fixtures.
Specific lighting for all work areas includes, range, sink, tables, and
counters.
2. The bathroom requires a high level of general lighting from ceiling
fixtures. The mirror should have lights on two sides. The shower and
water closet should have a recessed, vapor proof light.
3. The living room requires a low-level of general lighting but should have
a specific lighting for areas for reading, and other visual tasks.
Decorative lighting can also be used.
4. The bedroom requires a low level of general lighting but should have
specific lighting for reading in bed on both sides of the dressing-table
mirror. The dressing area requires high level of general lighting.
Children’s bedroom requires a high level of general lighting. Closets
should have a fixture placed high at the front.
5. The dining area requires low level of general lighting with local lighting
over the dining table.
6. The entrance and hallway require a high level of general and decorative
lighting.
7. Traffic areas require a high level of general lighting for safety.
8. Television viewing requires a very low level of general lighting. Television
should not be viewed in the dark because the strong contrasts of dark
room and bright screen are tiring to the eyes.
9. Reading and desk areas require a high level of general light and specific
light that is diffused and glare less. There should be no shadow.
10. Outdoor lighting is accomplished by waterproof floodlights and
spotlights. Extensive outdoor lighting will provide convenience, beauty,
and safety. Areas that could be illuminated are the landscaping, game
areas, barbecue area, patio, garden, front of picture window, pools, and
driveways.

STEPS IN PREPARING THE ELECTRICAL LIGHTING LAYOUT

If the basic floor plan is already drawn, the designer should:

1. Prepare the floor plan;
 9

2. Determine the exact position of all lighting fixtures on the plan;

3. Draw the electrical symbols representing the switches, and lighting
outlets on the floor plan (this time use the ceiling plan to layout the lighting);

one-gang switch

two-gang switch

three-gang switch

center lighting fixture

ceiling lights fixture

 10

4. Draw a line from each switch to the connecting fixture;

 11

5. Determine the number of lighting outlets, and lighting fixtures and

group them according to their circuit number;

6. Draw the single line riser diagram;

7. Draw the schedule of loads and determine size of wires and conduits;
8. Compute for the total current to determine size of service drop and sizes
of wires;
9. Write electrical construction specification and other notes.
 12

A. Directions:
1. Based on the given floor plan with furniture/fixtures on figure 1,
draw a lighting layout following the procedure above. Use the ceiling
plan on figure 2 for your drawing.
