Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Electrical Installation and Maintenance Grade 9 Self-Learning

Module on Procedures in Installing two Lamp Controlled by two Surface type SPST
using Knobs and Tube Wiring Method – Pictorial Diagram!

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:

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.

PROCEDURES IN INSTALLING TWO LAMP CONTROLLED BY TWO

SURFACE TYPE SPST USING KNOBS AND TUBE WIRING METHOD –
PICTORIAL DIAGRAM

The knob and tube are the old way of wiring method also known as K
& T and popular as open wiring method this is done using cleats, mica tubing,
porcelain tubes and knobs either split type or solid type to protect, secure,
support, prevent the wire touching each other and woods that runs on the
basement or attic based on the PEC section 212.
The purpose of knob and tube is to acts as wrapping body of wire,
secures the wire in place, anchor the wire, separated the wire to avoid possible
short circuit, provide wire direction changes, and prevent excessive wire
tension.

Procedures in installing two Lamp controlled by two surface type SPST
using knobs and tube wiring method
1. Prepare your drawing plan

2. Prepare and put near beside you all the materials, tools, equipment and PPE’s
need for the works.

3. Prepare your wiring board or working area by layout all measurement given
on your job sheet plan and drawing plan using pencil, meter square and frame
square

4. In measurement, always consider finding the center of conduit and devices

as references for layout design.

5. Always level the position of layout vertically and horizontally.

6. For final marking layout of conduit, boxes, and devices always used chalk.

7. Always mounted or install first all boxes the junction box and octagon box

8. Mount all box type lighting fixture and surface type receptacle according to
given measurement and locations but do not forget when lighting material like
incandescent bulb used flush type receptacles use junction box for mounting
receptacle.

9. Install all boxes according to job sheet plan given size and kind inline to
standard specification.

10. Put the wire inside the boxes and fix the knobs and tube ready for the joints
connectors wire based on the PEC wire size standard

11. Based on standard after striping the wire carefully connect it to the terminal
of breaker as sources, switches and to incandescent lamp.

Safety Precaution
1. Always carefully insulated all joints with electrical tape

2. All the connections in lighting circuit must base on the standard

3. Always conduct continuity check to know and identify the possible wiring
defects

4. When wiring installation is finish if possible, always ask your teacher

assistance to evaluate your works
