Electrical Materials
Hanging (chain)
Electrical materials are developed and constructed for a special purpose such as to:
1. control the flow of current in an electrical circuit;
2. carry electrical current from the source to the load or current consuming apparatus;
3. hold and secure wires to its fixtures inside and outside houses and buildings; and Surface type
4. protect the houses, buildings, appliances’ and instruments from any destruction and
damage.

The following are the most commonly used electrical materials.
