What can you see in the picture?

Are you familiar with their this?
Anyway, we will tackle about this later as we procced

F. Discussing new concepts Our topic for today is on the definition, provisions and uses of electrical wires.
#1 These are our learning objectives. (present the learning objectives)
 *Be sure to take down notes.
ELECTRICAL WIRES
Mr. _____ will you please read the definition of electrical wiring?
*electrical wiring- is the process of connecting cables and wires to the related devices. It is the process of connecting various
accessories for the distribution of electrical energy from the transmission line to home appliances such as light bulbs, electric fan,
convenience outlet, and other electrical devices.
*electrical wires-. Wires are commonly made up of copper, aluminium, or metal and it is either insulated or uninsulated. It is used as a
conducting medium. They usually have different types and sizes that is used on different wiring installations.

G. Discussing new concepts

#2 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SOLID WIRE
Advantages disadvantages
Solid  Offers higher current  Only practical and available in small sizes.
wire capacity.  Flexing or vibration will fatigue the wire and
 Lower production cost. cause it to break.
 Easy manufacturing

Stranded  Flexible and bendable,  Larger size

wire making them easier to route  Requires more process in manufacturing
than solid wires.
 More durable for vibration and
infrequent movement.

WIRE SIZES AND USAGE

The size of wire can be determined on its insulation label or by using a wire gauge.
Anyone who know the meaning of AWG?
*AWG- American wire gauge, it is the standard system that is used to determine the gauge of wires.
Wire Rated amperage Example usage
gauge(AWG)
18 10 amps Low voltage lighting
16 13 amps Extension cords for appliances
14 15 amps Light fixtures,
Lighting outlets
 12 20 amps Convenience outlets
10 30 amps Convenience outlets, sub panels, heavy appliances
8 45 amps Large electric heaters, service panels and sub panels
6 60 amps
2 80 amps
1/0 150 amps Service entrance
2/0 200 amps
WIRE LETTERING/LABELING
The important labelling on the wires relates to the wire insulation- the plastic coating that covers the metal conducting wire. These are
the common types of wires that we use at home;
 THHN- thermoplastic insulation, highly heat resistant, nylon coated
 THWN- thermoplastic insulation, heat resistant, wet, nylon coated
 THW- thermoplastic insulation, highly resistant, wet
 XHHN- flame retardant, highly heat resistant, nylon coated
Here’s what the letters on the labels mean:
 T- thermoplastic insulation’ a fire resistant material
 H- Heat resistant, able to withstand temperatures up to 167 F
 HH- highly heat resistant, able to withstand temperatures up to 194 F
 W- Wet or approved for wet locations , also for dry locations
 X- insulation made up a synthetic polymer that is flame retardant (slows down or stop the spread of fire)
 N- nylon coated for resistance to oil and gasoline
 NM Non Metallic
 MC Metal Clad - MC Cable or Metal Clad cable has an aluminum metal clad jacket good for use indoors without conduit,
outdoors and in conduit.
 UFB Underground Feeder - UFB Cable or underground feeder cables can be used directly in the earth to run power from
your house to your garage or barn. It can also run power from your electrical box to your hot tub so that it's underground and
out of site.
 SER Service Entrance - Round - Service entrance cable is commonly used to run power from a pole to your electrical box to
supply power for your entire home.
 SEU Service Entrance - Flat - Same as SER cable but Flat instead of Round.
 USE-2 Underground Service - This is an underground cable in a single conductor rather than a cable. It has a rubber jacket
and it's sunlight and ozone resistant.
 S – Service, which means the portable cord has been rated for 600 volts.
 J – Junior. Junior is short for Junior Service, which means the portable cord has been rated to 300 volts.
 E – Elastomer, which is short for Thermoplastic Elastomer. It also refers to the jacket material but it is different from plain
 Thermoplastic. Thermoplastic elastomer material is medium-duty and performs better in colder temperatures than
thermoplastic. If a portable cord does not have a ‘T’ or an ‘E’, it is made of thermoset material, which makes it heavy-duty.
 O – Oil Resistant, and the single ‘O’ means that only the outer jacket is oil resistant.
 OO – Also Oil Resistant, but this time both the portable cord’s outer jacket and the insulation are oil resistant.
 F – Fixture Wire, which means the cable is rated to 90°C.
 P – Parallel. This cable is parallel-jacketed and is sometimes called “zip cord.”

Give the meaning of these wire labels

1. THHN
2. THWN
3. THW
4. XHHN

WIRE COLOR CODING

Why wire colour coding/marking is important?
It is to ensure that the wiring is correct to prevent electrical shock and damage to the equipment. It is to determine which one is the
live/power wire, the neutral wire, and the earth or ground wire.

*Single phase circuit- has one power wire, earth wire, and neutral wire. It is usually used in residential homes.
*3 phase circuit- has 3 power wires, one neutral wire and earth wire. Mostly used on commercial buildings that requires huge amount of
voltage.

Here in our place the western union short tie and long tie also plain tap is applied by electrician to have a good quality of splicing and
securing durability of wires when joined together

The different kinds of wire splices tap and joints are discussed at the same time with demonstration to let students engage in with the
lesson.
 Electrical wire splices, taps and joints
1. Western union short tie splice-mostly used in outside wiring, the wires are twisted at the centre of the stripped wire end then each is
wrapped around the other six times.

2. Western union long tie splice- is used extensively for outside wiring and is quite similar to short tie splice, however the number of twist
is longer before wrapping the end turns.

3. Britannia splice-used in interior wiring where solid wires of No. 6 AWG gauge or larger sizes are to be joined and where large wire
connectors or pliers are not at hand. Wrap the joined wires with a stranded wire.

4. Plain tap - used in joining a tap or other conductor to the other conductor, as for example, a branch or main circuit.

5. Knotted or loop, tap joint- a very strong joint and will not untwist even enough strain is placed upon it. It is occasionally used,
particularly for temporary lighting systems, where time is not taken to solder joints.
6. Ordinary cable tap- is used where large stranded wire or cables are tapped to a conductor.
7. Split cable tap - is used where stranded cables or wire are tapped to a conductor. This joint is stronger than the ordinary cable tap
and will not unwrap even though a strain is placed upon soldering.
8. Wrapped tap- is used on large solid conductors where is difficult to wrap the heavy wire around the main wire.
9. Multiple wrapped cable splice- used on small strand wires and cables because these strands are more pliable and may be wound
together without much difficulty.

H. Developing mastery 1. What are the two types of electrical wires that we learn?
 (Leads to formative
assessment 3)
I. Finding practical
applications of concepts
and skills in daily living.
J. Making generalization
and abstractions about
the lesson.
K. Evaluating learning
2. Can you give me the meaning of THHN, THWN, THW and XHWN in wire Labeling?
3. Give at least three kinds of splicing?
-The solid wire or duplex wire are commonly used for wooden houses because it is double insulated and stranded wire are used for concrete
houses because of its workability.
-THHN and THWN wires are single conductor, general-purpose building wires that are also suitable for installation in conduits and raceways.
THHN and THWN wire are also suitable for use as machine tool, control circuit, or appliance wiring. Both THNN and THWN have PVC
insulation with nylon jackets.
-Western union short and long tie, plain tap these are commonly used for outside wiring because if it is stretched it is hard to unwrapped also
when wires are loaded stress
