CIRCUIT BREAKER
Introduction
• A circuit breaker is used to close and interrupt a circuit under both normal
conditions (for service) and abnormal conditions.
• A circuit breaker is designed to automatically open the circuit when it senses a
predetermined overload or fault current.
Number of Poles
Another characteristic shared by all product lines is that circuit breakers are available
with a varying number of poles, according to the number of phase conductors in the
protected circuit:
One (1) Pole Circuit Breaker

Used in a line to neutral electrical system, Provide a 115 volts
from a 230 volts source and provide also 230 volts from 460 volts.
One-pole circuit breakers are wired with one hot wire and one
neutral wire. When there is an overload in a single-pole breaker’s
circuit, only that particular breaker trips.

-Cainta 105
Two (2) Pole Circuit Breaker
Used in a single phase electrical system. Unlike

the single-pole breaker, it services a 240-volt circuit by using
two spaces in the electrical panel. By utilizing both phases, you
are able to connect the circuit breaker to things like a 240-volt air
conditioner, an electric range, an electric water heater, or an electric
dryer. Double-pole breakers have two connection points used to
connect the electrical wires to them while snapping
into place within the electrical panel's bus.
Three-Pole Circuit Breaker
Used most often in a three-phase electrical system,

a three-pole circuit breaker connects three different conductors,
such as is often required by heavy duty industrial motors. When
a surge exists anywhere in the system, across one or more of the
conductors, the breaker trips, the power bridge collapses, and the
circuit opens.
Molded Case circuit Breaker

Molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) work on the same
principles of thermal-magnetic protection, but they offer
some additional features that are not available with CBs:
 MCCBs have adjustable trip settings, so they are suitable

when the rated current of a circuit breaker must be
fine-tune according to the actual site conditions.
 MCCBs have a much wider range of current ratings: they

can be found from ratings below 100 Amps to ratings
above 2500 Amps.

-Cainta 105
Compared with CBs, molded-case circuit breakers are much larger, given that they
must accommodate an adjustable trip mechanism and, in many cases, larger
contacts for high-current applications. MCCBs are available in a wide variety of
voltage ratings:
 240-277 V: , 480 V: 600 V

There are two sub-types of MCCBs that are used exclusively for electric motor
protection:
 Motor protection circuit breaker (MPCB)
 Motor circuit protectors (MCP)
Operating Characteristics of a Circuit Breaker
• When a breaker trips, it moves from the On

position to the middle (Tripped) position. To
reset the breaker, it is pushed beyond Off to the
Reset position and then back to the On position.
Circuit Breaker Current Rating
• The continuous current rating of a circuit

breaker is the maximum current that it can
carry continuously without exceeding the
allowable temperature rise.
• Continuous current ratings range from 15A

,20 ,25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90,
100, 110,125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250,

4000, 5000, 6000A.

-Cainta 105
Normal Current Operation
• The amperage interrupting capacity (AIC) is the maximum short circuit current at
which the breaker will safely interrupt the circuit at the rated voltage and
frequency.
• Under normal operation, the load current is consistent and the protective device
will not trip.
Short Circuit Operation with Adequate Interrupting Rating

When the overcurrent device is sized correctly, it operates to protect the circuit and
downstream components.

Conductors and Insulation
• Conductors are identified by size and insulation material.

• The size refers to the cross-sectional area of the current-carrying portion of the
wire and is expressed in American Wire Gauge (AWG) numbers.
• Conductor ampacity is affected by the conductor material and size, insulation,
and installation location.
Physical Factors that Affects/Determines the Resistance of a Conductor

1. Length of the conductor
- the greater the length of the conductor, the greater its resistance.
2. Cross-Sectional Area of the Conductor
- the greater the cross-sectional area of the conductor, the lesser its
resistance.
Conductors and Non-Conductors

 Conductors - materials that easily facilitate the passage of free electrons. They
have less than 4 valence electron.
EX. Gold, Silver, Copper, Aluminium, etc.
 Semi-Conductors - materials that neither is a good insulator or a good
conductor but becomes a very good insulator or conductor upon the
application of heat. They have 4 valence electron.
EX. Selenium, Germanium, Silicon.
 Insulators- materials that hardly facilitate the passage of free electrons. They
have greater than 4 valence electron
EX. Paper, Plastic, Glass, Porcelain, Rubber, etc.

-Cainta 105
Wire Size Marking
For wire sizes larger than No. 16 AWG, the wire size is marked on the conductor
insulation.
Strand Configurations
• Wire stranding provides conductor flexibility for pulling.

• Wire sizes No. 18 to No. 2 have 7 strands.
• Wire sizes No. 1 to 4/0 have 19 strands.
• Wire sizes 250 kcmil to 500 kcmil have 37 strands.
(A kcmil is 1,000 circular mils or 0.001 inch.)

-Cainta 105
Conductors are selected based on conductor material and the correct insulation for
the application. The insulation type is typically stamped on the wire.

Fuses
A fuse is the simplest type of over current protective device and consists of a fusible
link encapsulated in a tube or plug body
Fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an

electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much
current flows through it, thereby interrupting the current. It is a sacrificial device; once a fuse
has operated it is an open circuit, and it must be replaced depending on type.
Cartridge Fuses for use in commercial, industrial, automotive, residential and agricultural
applications. Fuses come in a variety of sizes, amps and volt ratings.
CONSTRUCTION
A fuse consists of a metal strip or wire fuse element, of small cross-section compared to the
circuit conductors, mounted between a pair of electrical terminals, and (usually) enclosed by
a non-combustible housing.

Ground Fault Current Circuit Protection
GFCIs are usually required by local laws to be installed in, kitchens, bathrooms,
unfinished basements, garages, outdoors, and anywhere near a sink. Notably, these
are all places where water may allow a short circuit to happen.
• Standard circuit breakers cannot protect personnel from damaged or faulty

equipment because the current levels, while enough to harm or even kill a
person, are too low to trip a standard breaker.
• Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are used to interrupt fault currents of
6mA or more.
Receptacle Type
This type of GFCI is used in place of the standard duplex

receptacle found throughout the house It fits into the
standard outlet box and protects you against "ground faults'
whenever an electrical product is plugged into the outlet.
Most receptacle-type GFCls can be installed so that they
also protect other electrical outletsfurther "down stream" in
the branch circuit

-Cainta 105
Protection Against Ground Faults
Ground fault is any path (circuit) established unintentionally between a current

carrying conductor and ground, besides occurring in defective equipment, ground
faults can results when serviceable equipment is abused. Such as accidentally
setting or dropping an energize electric tool in water. Depending on and
conditions and the nature of the contact, a ground fault has either high or
low resistance. If it has a low resistance large of amount of current flow, and the fuse
blows or the circuit breaker trips to open the circuit.
Shock hazards are greater when the fault has a high resistance and not enough fault
current flows to blow the fuse or trip the circuit breaker. In such cases, a GROUND
FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) can protect you against shock.
Under normal conditions when no ground fault exist the GFCI does nothing .

A GFCI breaker is installed in the panel like any other breaker, except the white wire
pigtail is attached to the panel neutral assembly.
In homes equipped with circuit breakers rather than fuses, a circuit breaker GFCI
may be installed in a panel box to give protection to selected circuits. The circuit
breaker GFCI serves a dual purpose - not only will it shut off electricity in the event of
a "ground-fault," but it will also trip when a short circuit or an overload occurs.
Protection covers the wiring and each outlet, lighting fixture, heater, etc served by the
branch circuit protected by the GFCI in the panel box.
GFCI circuit breaker controls an entire circuit, and is installed as a replacement for a
Circuit breaker on your home's main circuit board. Some homes are wired so that all
bathrooms or all outdoor fixtures are on the same circuit. Rather than install multiple
GFCI outlets, one GFCI circuit breaker can protect the entire circuit.

Switches
A switch is an electrical component that can "make" or "break" an electrical circuit.

Like receptacles, switches are marked with the maximum voltage and amperage
(rated current and voltage), along with the type of wire to be used.
Light Switch
In building wiring, light switches are installed at convenient locations to control
lighting and occasionally other circuits. By use of multiple-pole switches, multiway
switching control of a lamp can be obtained from two or more locations, such as the
ends of a corridor or stairwell.
Single Pole Single Throw Switch
A single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch is as simple as it gets. It’s got one output
and one input. The switch will either be closed or completely disconnected. SPSTs
are perfect for on-off switching. They’re also a very common form
of momentary switches. SPST switches should only require two terminals.

Convenience Outlet
An electrical outlet or receptacle is a socket that connects an electrical device to

an electricity supply. In buildings, electrical outlets are usually installed in the wall,
although they can also be installed in the floor.
Different countries often have different outlet types, current and voltages.
Type A Type B Type G Type I
SPECIAL PURPOSE OUTLET
Special purpose outlet is an outlet used for purposes other than ordinary lighting and
power, usually fused separately. Most commonly used for electric range or clothes
dryers.
ACU OUTLET

-Cainta 105
An air conditioner outlet connects your air conditioner with the power source, and
such outlets are usually very different from the “usual”, conventional outlets. They
usually vary in current rating, as the air conditioner
requires higher current than usual. Thus, the choice of an
air conditioner outlet will depend largely on the power
your air conditioner needs. This means that you will need
to check the type of plug is on your air conditioner, as well
as compare it to the outlet on your wall.
POP UP OUTLET
The pop up was specifically designed to meet code for kitchen, floor and wet location
installations, it meets National Electrical Code (NEC) 406.5E for countertop use in the
USA and Canada. The outlet is tamper proof and is UL listed, the pop up as a
complete unit is ETL listed for USA installations, and cETL and CSA approved for
Canada installations. The pop up features an IP44 water rating, and is splash rated
for wet location installations, there is also a gasket under the bezel to keep water

INDUSTRIAL SOCKET/PLUGS
Industrial and multiphase plugs and sockets provide a connection to the electrical
mains rated at higher voltages and currents than household plugs and sockets. They
are generally used in poly phase systems, with high currents, or when protection from
environmental hazards is required. Industrial outlets may have weatherproof covers,
waterproofing sleeves, or may be interlocked with a switch to prevent accidental
disconnection of an energized plug. Some types of connectors are approved for

-Cainta 105
hazardous areas such as coal mines or petrochemical plants, where flammable gas
may be present.
Industrial
Socket
(2P+E)
Almost all three-phase power plugs have an earth (ground) connection, but may not
have a neutral because three-phase loads such as motors do not need the neutral.
Such plugs have only four prongs (earth, and the three phases). An example of a
socket with neutral is the L21-30 (30 A) and the L21-20 (20 A) both of which have five
pins (earth, neutral, and X, Y, Z phases).
Industrial

Incandescent / LED Lamp
HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF INCANDESCENT LAMP
The first incandescent electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy, an
English scientist. He experimented with electricity and invented an electric battery.
When he connected wires to his battery and a piece of carbon, the carbon glowed,
producing light. This is called an electric arc.
Much later, in 1860, the English physicist Sir Joseph Wilson Swan (1828-
1914) was determined to devise a practical, long-lasting electric light. He found that a
carbon paper filament worked well, but burned up quickly. In 1878, he demonstrated
his new electric lamps in Newcastle, England.
The inventor Thomas Alva Edison (in the USA) experimented with thousands
of different filaments to find just the right materials to glow well and be long-lasting. In
1879, Edison discovered that a carbon filament in an oxygen-free bulb glowed but did
not burn up for 40 hours. Edison eventually produced a bulb that could glow for over
1500 hours.
Lewis Howard Latimer (1848-1928) improved the light bulb by inventing a

carbon filament (patented in 1881); Latimer was a member of Edison's research
team, which was called "Edison's Pioneers." In 1882, Latimer developed and
patented a method of manufacturing his carbon filaments.
In 1903, Willis R. Whitney invented a treatment for the filament so that it

wouldn't darken the inside of the bulb as it glowed. In 1910, William David Coolidge
(1873-1975) invented a tungsten filament, which lasted even longer than the older
filaments. The incandescent bulb revolutionized the world.

Incandescent Lamp
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an

electric light with a wire filament heated to such a high temperature that it glows with
visible light (incandescence). The filament is protected from oxidation with a glass or
fused quartz bulb that is filled with inert gas or a vacuum. In a halogen lamp, filament
evaporation is slowed by a chemical process that redeposits metal vapor onto the
filament, thereby extending its life.
Parts of an Incandescent Bulb
Coiled tungsten filament - the metal wires

that glow brightly when electricity flows
through them.
Connecting wires - The wires that carry

electricity from the bulb's electrical contact to
the filament.
Electrical contacts - the metallic base of the

bulb, which connects to the electrical contacts
of the lamp when the bulb is in the lamp.
Glass envelope - The thin layer of glass that

surrounds the light bulb mechanism and the
inert gases.
Glass fuse enclosure - glass that insulates the bulb's fuses - located in the stem of
the bulb.
Mixture of inert gases at low pressures - the bulb is filled with inert (non-reactive)
gases.
Screw cap - the threaded base of the bulb that secures it to a lamp.
Support wires - wires that physically hold up the filament.

-Cainta 105
What makes a light bulb glow?
The thin wire, or filament, inside a light bulb resists the flow of current through
it. When electricity is passed through the bulb, the filament becomes hot and glows
brightly. To prevent the filament burning away completely, the glass bulb filled with a
mixture of inert gas (usually argon and nitrogen). The filament in most light bulbs is
made of tungsten.

-Cainta 105
LED LAMP
A LED lamp or LED light bulb is an electric light for use in light fixtures that produces
light using light-emitting diode (LED). LED lamps have a
lifespan many times longer than equivalent
incandescent lamps, and are significantly more efficient
than most fluorescent lamps, with some LED chips able
to emit up to 303 lumens per watt (as claimed by Cree
and some other LED manufacturers).
However, LED lamps require an electronic LED driver circuit when operated from
mains power lines, and losses from this circuit mean the efficiency of the lamp is
lower than the efficiency of the LED chips it uses. The most efficient commercially
available LED lamps have efficiencies of 200 lumens per watt (lm/w).Commercially
available LED chips have efficiencies of over 220 lm/w.[citation needed]
The LED lamp market is projected to grow by more than twelve-fold over the next
decade, from $2 billion in the beginning of 2014 to $25 billion in 2023, a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25%.As of 2016, LEDs use only about 10% of the
energy an incandescent lamp requires.
Similar to incandescent lamps and unlike most fluorescent lamps (e.g. tubes and
compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs), LEDs come to full brightness without need for a
warm-up time; the life of fluorescent lighting is also reduced by frequent switching on
and off. The initial cost of LED is usually higher. Degradation of LED dye and
packaging materials reduces light output to some extent over time.
Some LED lamps are made to be a directly compatible drop-in replacement for
incandescent or fluorescent lamps. An LED lamp packaging may show the lumen
output, power consumption in watts, color temperature in kelvins or description (e.g.
"warm white", "cool white" or "daylight"), operating temperature range, and
sometimes the equivalent wattage of an incandescent lamp of similar luminous
output.

Fluorescent Lamp
FLUORESCENT LAMP
A fluorescent lamp or a fluorescent tube is a low pressure mercury - vapor gas-discharge
lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light.
It is extremely in common use, second only to incandescent lamp. Fluorescent lamps are
adaptable to residential interior for both seeing and decorative purposes, because of their
shape, coolness and hign efficiency. Fluorescent lamps are manufactured as tubular and
circular in shape and of various lengths and wattages.
TUBULAR CIRCULAR
Parts and Functions of Fluorescent Lamp

1. Fluorescent tube –is a circular bulb containing mercury vapor and inert gas with phosphor
coating inside.

-Cainta 105
The rare gas (argon) as a result of voltage illuminates and becomes a conductor, Like every
conductor carrying a current. This generated heat maintains the filamint at a certain
temperature and volatiles the few drops of mercury while filling the tube with mercury vapor.
The filament, like all conductors, has the property of emitting electrons when they reach a
certain temperature.
These electrons meet the mercury vapor, the resulting shock can force the fluorescent
material to emit light.
The interior of the glass tube of a fluorescent tube is covered with fluorescent powder which
under the effect of the ultra violet rays give illumination.
2. The Fluorescent Starter

Current moves in ulilizing the rare gas as conducting means and the rare gas produces a
“GLOW” the glow generates heat and causes the bimetallic blade to expand.
The bimetallic blade, because it is heated, changes shape and touches the fixed contact.
The close contact of the two starter contacts produce an path for current flow.
Parts of a Starter
GLASS BULB
CONDENSER/ BIMETALLIC
CAPACITOR
BLADE
RARE GAS
ARGON GAS

-Cainta 105
HOW THE STARTER SWITCH WORKS
a. Initial current causes electrical arc between

electrodes, which ionizes gas.
b. Heat from the light bends bimetallic strip,

closing the switch, which turns off the starter light
c. The bimetallic strip cools and returns to its original
position. Current flows through the ionized gas in the tube.
3. The Ballast
In common with all gaseous discharge lamps, the fluorescent must be provided with some
device for limiting the current drawn by the discharge. Without a limiting device, the current
would rise to avalue that would destroy the lamp. This requirement can be met by a device or
auxiliary called ballast.
Induction Type Ballast Electronic Type Ballast

-Cainta 105
PRE HEAT START FLUORESCENT LAMP
The tube filaments, starter (glow switch), and ballast are all connected in series, which
constitute a complete circuit once the switch, is closed. As a current flows through, the gas
(inert) inside the starter glows and the electrodes are heated. Since one of the electrodes is a
bi-metal, it bends and makes contact with the other. At this instant, the circuit is metallically
complete. The filaments of the fluorescent tube are then heated and partial ionization takes
place. The bi-metals in the starter cools and the contacts open. The magnetic field in the
ballast collapses rapidly producing an inductive kick, which establishes a current between the
filaments and fires the tube into operation.

fluorescent and starter

-Cainta 105
RAPID START FLUORESCENT LAMP
Most fluorescent fixtures with two or more lamps are known as "rapid start". In this system,
there is no starter. Instead, the ballast keeps a low flow of current running through the
filaments at all times or during the start-up period, and uses a capacitor or other techniques
to start the lamp by ionizing the gas, which is another way to reduce the initial resistance of
gas to a flow of electrical current.

COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMP (CFL)
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-
saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace
an incandescent light bulb; some types fit into light fixtures designed for incandescent
bulbs. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an
incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.
Compared to general-service incandescent lamps giving the same amount of visible

light, CFLs use one-fifth to one-third the electric power, and last eight to fifteen times
longer. A CFL has a higher purchase price than an incandescent lamp, but can save
over five times its purchase price in electricity costs over the lamp's lifetime. [1]Like all
fluorescent lamps, CFLs contain toxic mercury[2] which complicates their disposal. In
many countries, governments have banned the disposal of CFLs together with
regular garbage. These countries have established special collection systems for
CFLs and other hazardous waste.
The principle of operation remains the same as in other fluorescent lighting: electrons
that are bound to mercury atoms are excited to states where they will radiate
ultraviolet light as they return to a lower energy level; this emitted ultraviolet light is
converted into visible light as it strikes the fluorescent coating (as well as into heat
when absorbed by other materials such as glass).

2. Apply the provision and specification in installing closed circuit television
3. Install closed circuit television.
4. Value the importance of using closed circuit television.
CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION SYSTEM
CCTV (CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION) Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is the use

of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors.
It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though
it may employ point to point (P2P), point to multipoint, or mesh wireless links.
Reasons of using CCTV
 Crime prevention and investigation tool
 Statistics point to major reductions in the amount of crime being committed

where there are cameras installed. An article in 'New Scientist' magazine
showed that simply installing a system can reduce crime, in the areas covered,
by over 95%.
 Generally, once a Camera system is installed, it will only be fools who attempt
to perpetrate offences within its field of view. These are often caught but for

-Cainta 105
the majority it will provide a very high level of deterrence. A professionally
installed camera system can reduce shoplifting by up to 90%.
 Most people considering the installation of a CCTV system have the main
objective of trying to prevent crime
 A properly installed and managed CCTV system can dramatically reduce crime
levels. Drops as high as 90% have been recorded where a highly visible
CCTV system has been installed in certain locations, i.e. in shopping centers
and car parks
 In small to medium-sized businesses, CCTV cameras acts as a deterrent.

However, the initial cost and complexity of good quality systems have been
barriers for many businesses. The cost of equipment has fallen steadily over
the years. Today, good quality systems can be much cheaper and still provide
exceptional operational simplicity.

DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER
A CCTV is essentially a computer that saves security video images to a hard

drive.
Most security cameras in use today capture an analog picture.

The DVR converts the analog signal to digital and then compresses it.
It is a consumer electronics device designed for recording video in a digital

format within a mass storage device such as USB flash drive, hard disk drive
or any other storage device, records images from analogue cameras.

SECURITY CAMERA
There are many different security cameras on the market that are designed to
support different applications and mounting option.
May be a dome camera, bullet camera, covert camera, or PTZ camera

-Cainta 105
Dome Camera
Dome CCTV Cameras. Dome Security Cameras

are named for their dome-like shape.
Dome cameras are commonly used in surveillance

systems inside of homes, casinos, retail stores,
and restaurants
A varifocal dome camera gives you the flexibility

to adjust the focal distance of the camera lens to
exactly where you need it.
Bullet Camera
Bullet Security Cameras. Bullet security cameras

are a type video surveillance camera that is
typically small and shaped like a rifle bullet shell
or lipstick case.
Smaller bullet cameras are typically the diameter

of a cigar, but they are shorter.
Sometimes they are referred to as lipstick cameras.
Covert Camera
Covert cameras, also called hidden or spy

cameras, are cameras which are used to
secretly monitor locations.
They are usually installed inside common household

items like mirrors, passive infrared detectors and
smoke detectors to prevent suspicion.
PTZ Camera

-Cainta 105
A pan–tilt–zoom camera is a camera that is capable
of remote directional and zoom control.
In television production, PTZ controls are used

with professional video cameras in television
studios, sporting events, and other spaces.
They are commonly referred to as robos, an

abbreviation of robotic camera.
Different Camera Definitions
Analog Camera refers to CCTV cameras which is an analog video signal that is
transmitted over coaxial cable back to a video recorder or monitor. So, the
modern CCTV surveillance system (still sometimes called analog) is
actually analog on the camera and cable side, but digital on the recorder side.
AHD Camera is an analog high definition closed-circuit television video surveillance

camera that supports 720p and 1080p HD video resolutions.
IP Camera is an Internet Protocol camera. It is a type of digital video

camera commonly employed for surveillance which can send and receive data via a
computer network and the Internet. It is used for surveillance that can be directly
accessed over a network connection.

it’s the analog signal transmission.
Digitalization of the audio signal is done at

the IP camera level which will be transmitted to the NVR.
The limitation of how many microphones can be

installed, for this solution, would be purely depend
on the number of video channel of the NVR, and whether
the IP camera comes with the audio input.

FIRE DETECTION ALARM SYSTEM
A system of devices that uses a fire alarm control unit to produce an alarm signal in
the household for the purpose of notifying the
occupants of the presence of a fire so that they
will evacuate the premises.
Is FDAS mandatory?
YES! In order to save lives and properties.
Why is a FDAS Required?
 Detect fire in the areas.

 Notify building occupants to take evasive action to escape the dangers of a
hostile fire.
 Summon organized assistance to initiate or assist in fire control activities.
 Initiate automatic fire control & suppression systems & to sound alarm.
 Supervise fire control and suppression systems to assure operational status in
maintained initiate auxiliary functions involving environmental, utility and
process controls
BLOCK DIAGRAM OF FDA SYSTEM

-Cainta 105
INPUT DEVICES
Manual Pull Station
Manual fire alarm activation is typically achieved

through the use of a pull station (USA & Canada) or
call point (Europe, Australia, and Asia), which then
sounds the evacuation alarm for the relevant building
or zone.
Smoke Detector
A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke,
typically as an indicator of fire. Commercial security
devices issue a signal to a fire alarm control panel as
part of a fire alarm system, while household smoke
detectors, also known as smoke alarms
Smoke Detector (Photo Electric)
Photoelectric-type alarms aim a light source

into a sensing chamber at an angle away from
the sensor. Smoke enters the chamber,
reflecting light onto the light sensor; triggering
the alarm.

-Cainta 105
Heat Detector
A heat detector is a fire alarm device designed to

respond when the convected thermal energy of a fire
increases the temperature of a heat sensitive
element.
Fixed Temperature Heat Detectors
Detect heat by one or more of 3 primary principles of physics:
- Expansion of heated material

- Melting of heated material
- Changes in resistance of heated materials.
Rate of Rise Heat Detectors
 Operate on the principle that the temperature in a room will increase faster
from fire than from atmospheric temperature.
 Will initiate an alarm when the rise in temperature exceeds 12-15F (7-8C) per
minute.
 Alarm can be initiated at a temperature far below that required for a fixed
temperature device.
- Reliable devices, not subject to false activations

- But if not properly installed, they can be activated under non
fire conditions (eg. Detector too close to doorway and subject
to extreme fluctuations in temperatures.)

-Cainta 105
OUTPUT DEVICES
Fire notification Appliance
A fire alarm notification appliance is an active

fire protection component of a fire alarm
system. A notification appliance may
use audible, visible, or other stimuli to alert
the occupants of a fire or other emergency
condition requiring action. Initially, all
appliances were either electromechanical
horns or electric bells, which would later be
replaced by electronic sounders.
FDAS Combination Detectors

 Single device can be designed to have more than 1 function eg. Heat/smoke
detectors.
 Different combination make the detectors more versatile and more responsive
to fire conditions.
FDAS RISER DIAGRAM

-Cainta 105
TYPES OF FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM
Conventional Fire Alarm
 Conventional fire alarm systems and its components are all wired to the same
cable that connects them to a fire alarm control panel.
 The control panel displays a signal when these components activate.
 These types of systems are inexpensive and work well in small facilities.
 The main problem with conventional fire alarm systems is that when a fire
alarm component produces a signal and it appears on the control panel there
is no way to know which component it is in the building.
Addressable Fire Alarm

 Addressable fire alarm systems are the most modern type of system and its
components have individual unique identifiers.
 When one of the system’s components initiates, it indicates the component’s

address on the fire alarm panel.
 Large facilities utilize these systems because they can quickly pinpoint where
the trouble signal originated.
 This saves a lot of time because it eliminates the need to search for the
component that produced the sign.

-Cainta 105
CRITERIA for FDAS LAY-OUT-1
Criteria to determine layout of the detectors.
 The design, construction and operational features of all types of detectors

shall be in accordance with relevant standards.
 The number of detectors to be installed is governed by
- Total area to be protected

- Type of building construction
- Air movement & air velocity
- Ceiling obstruction
- Concentration of equipment in the area covered
- Sensitivity required
 Area is divided into zones to be protected
 The zones of individual detectors should overlap and no blind zone should be
left.
CRITERIA for FDAS LAY-OUT-2
 Areas above false ceiling and below false flooring shall be considered as
separate zones.
 Under ideal conditions of smooth ceiling and average room size, one detector
is recommended to protect the area.
 Ionization type detectors should be located where the largest combustible gas
concentration can be expected.
 In the air conditioned areas both ionization and optical type smoke detectors
are used.
 Detectors must always installed at the highest point of the ceiling and
minimum coverage indicated by the manufacture shall be considered.
 The number of detectors and their location should be selected that complete
coverage is obtained.

-Cainta 105
INITIAL QUANTITY ESTIMATION OF SMOKE/HEAT DETECTORS
 35-40 m² per detector for general application
 20-25 m² per detector for main control room, electronic cubicle room,
computer room etc.
 The exact requirement shall calculated based on relevant IS/NFPA
DETECTOR LAYOUT
 For easy lay outing, the standard distance, center - to – center of smoke or
heat detector is:
Three (3) meters each away.
COMMON FDAS ABBREVIATION
FACP - Fire Alarm Control Panel RAP - Remote Annunciator Panel

SD - Smoke Detector FD - Flame Detector
MPS - Manual Pull Station SS – Supervisory Switch
SL - Strobe Light EOL - End of Line Resistor
