ELECTRICAL TOOLS FUNCTION
WIRE STRIPPERS

Used to strip off the

insulation from wires to
expose the conductive wire.

Similar to insulated
screwdrivers, they have
INSULATED PLIERS insulated handles to protect
the user from electrical
shock when working with
live circuits. They are used
for gripping and cutting
wires.
INSULATED
SCREWDRIVERS Designed with insulated
handles to protect the user
from electrical shock when
working with live circuits

ELECTRICAL TAPE Used to insulate and protect

electrical connections from
moisture and other
contaminants.

HACKSAWS Used for cutting through

metal and other materials,
such as conduit or metal
pipes.

CABLE CUTTERS Used for cutting electrical

cables and wires cleanly
and precisely.

SPANNERS
A type of wrench used for
tightening and loosening
nuts and bolts.

VOLTAGE TESTER Used to detect the presence

of electrical voltage in wires
and devices.

SAFETY KNIFE Designed with a retractable

blade to reduce the risk of
injury when cutting through
materials.

HEX KEYS Also known as Allen

wrenches, used to tighten or
loosen hexagonal-shaped
screws or bolts.

CLAW HAMMER Used for driving nails into

other materials.

CHISEL Used to remove excess

material from a circuit
board, cut through
insulation, or create a
channel for wires to pass
through.

Flashlights are commonly

TORCH used for illumination in
low-light conditions or in
emergency situations, and
can be particularly useful in
electrical work for
inspecting dark or hard-to-
reach areas.

ELECTRICAL FUNCTION
SUPPLIES AND
MATERIALS
1. ELECTRICAL Electrical conduit is a
CONDUIT AND protective tube or
CONDUIT channel used to enclose
FITTING and protect electrical
wires and cables.
Conduit fittings are
used to join and secure
conduit sections and
connect them to other
electrical components.

2. ELECTRICAL Electrical wire and

WIRE AND cable are insulated
CABLE conductors used to
transmit electrical
power or signals. They
are available in a
variety of sizes, types,
and ratings to suit
different applications.

3. EXPLOSION Explosion-proof
PROOF enclosures are specially
ENCLOSURES designed electrical
enclosures that are
constructed to contain
and prevent explosions
caused by electrical
equipment in hazardous
environments.

4. CIRCUIT Circuit breakers are

BREAKERS automatic switches that
protect electrical
circuits from overloads
or short circuits by
interrupting the flow of
electricity when a fault
is detected.

5. ELECTRICAL Electrical connectors
CONNECTORS are devices used to join
or terminate electrical
conductors, wires, or
cables. They come in
various shapes and
sizes and are designed
to ensure a secure and
reliable connection.
6. An electrical box is a
ELECTRICAL container designed to
BOX enclose electrical
connections and protect
them from damage.
They are available in
various sizes and types
to accommodate
different electrical
components.
Lugs are connectors
used to attach electrical
7. LUGS wires or cables to
larger electrical
components such as
circuit breakers,
transformers, or
motors.
8. MOTOR Motor control devices
CONTROL are used to regulate the
speed, direction, and
operation of electric
motors. They include
starters, switches,
relays, and other
devices that control the
flow of electricity to
the motor.
