Electrical installation

Installing of whole new electrical wires and electrical outlets in the residential, commercial or any
institutional buildings. According to building types different type of Electrical installation is done. For
example if it is a residential building then wiring is done with the wires which is meant for residential
buildings and the electrical outlets are putted according to the home appliances such as tv, fridge,
washing machine.

Electrical Tools

1. TAPE MEASURE
A standard tape measure is used for all kinds of field measurements, such as setting heights
for switches and outlets, centering lighting fixture boxes, and marking surfaces for cutouts.
2. LEVEL
A small level, such as a torpedo level, fits easily in a tool pouch and is used to make sure your
work is level and plumb.
3. FLASHLIGHT
Electrical repair and improvement work involves a lot of dark places, from attics and
basements, to wall and ceiling cavities, to the insides of electrical boxes. A tactical flashlight
is needed as much for safety as it is for convenience.
4. SCREWDRIVER
A quality set of screwdrivers can last forever. You’ll need different types like the Phillips
screwdriver for Phillips head screws and a set of straight blade screwdrivers . Electricians
keep screwdrivers with them at all times, for removing and installing cover plates, outlets,
switches, and many other devices.
5. NON-CONTACT VOLTAGE TESTER
A voltage tester is used for a quick safety check to make sure there's no voltage in an
electrical wire or device before you start working on it.
6. WIRE STRIPPERS
Wire strippers are used to cut and strip insulation from electrical wires.
7. PLIERS
-A Needle-nose plier (also called long-nose pliers). It will be used for bending and twisting
wires whenever you are making screw-terminal connections.
-A Linesman plier is an electrician's do-it-all tool. It has a squared-off end that is great for
twisting wires together, a center cutting blade for trimming wire, and a grip area between
the handles for pulling wire.
-A Diagonal cutting plier, sometimes called side snips or dikes, are used to cut wires.
8. FISH TAPE
A fish tape is used to pull stranded or solid wire conductors through metal or PVC conduit.
9. VOLTMETER/MULTIMETER
A voltmeter is used to read voltage levels and verify that circuits are “live” or off. Unlike a
circuit tester, this tool gives you reading on how much voltage is being carried.

Wire crimpers are used to crimp lugs or connection terminals onto wires. This tool is not
often used for routine circuit repairs, but it has many uses when working with appliances or
electronics.
