Introductory Message

Welcome to TVL 11 - IA (Electrical Installation and Maintenance)!

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

Schools Division of Kabankalan 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 learning facilitator:

The TVL 11 - IA (Electrical Installation and 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 the learner. This will be made available to the learners with the
references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TVL 11 - IA (Electrical Installation and 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.

Install Cable Bridge

I. Learning Competency with Code

LO 4. Install cable bridge

4.1 Prepare tools/equipement and materials needed for the installation of
cable bridge in line with job requirements (TLE_IAEI9-12RC-IVf-j-4)

II. Background Information for Learners

In the electrical wiring of buildings, a cable tray system is used to support

insulated electrical cables used for power distribution, control, and communication.
Cable trays are used as an alternative to open wiring or electrical conduit systems,
and are commonly used for cable management in commercial and industrial
construction. They are especially useful in situations where changes to a wiring
system are anticipated, since new cables can be installed by laying them in the tray,
instead of pulling them through a pipe.

According to the National Electrical Code standard of the United States, a

cable tray is a unit or assembly of units or sections and associated fittings forming a
rigid structural system used to securely fasten or support cables and raceways.

Types of Cable Tray

A solid-bottom tray provides the maximum protection to cables, but requires

cutting the tray or using fittings to enter or exit cables. A deep, solid enclosure for
cables is called a cable channel or cable trough.

A ventilated tray has openings in the bottom of the tray, allowing some air
circulation around the cables, water drainage, and allowing some dust to fall through
the tray. Small cables may exit the tray through the ventilation openings, which may
be either slots or holes punched in the bottom.

A ladder tray has the cables supported by a traverse bar, similarly to the
rungs of a ladder, at regular intervals on the order of 4 to 12 inches (100 to 300 mm).

Ladder and ventilated trays may have solid covers to protect cables from

1
falling objects, dust, and water. Tray covers for use outdoors or in dusty locations
may have a peaked shape to shed debris including dust, ice or snow.

Lighter cable trays are more appropriate in situations where a great number
of small cables are used, such as for telephone or computer network cables. These
trays may be made of wire mesh, called "cable basket", or be designed in the form of
a single central spine (rail) with ribs to support the cable on either side.

Channel Tray provides an economical support for cable drops and branch cable
runs from the backbone cable tray system. Channel cable tray is used for installations with
limited numbers of tray cable when conduit is undesirable.
