PREPARE ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES, MATERIALS, AND TOOLS
• Electrical Tools and Equipment Electrical task can be
accomplished systematically to save time, effort, and
resources. Most of the work cannot be done using bare hands.
To do the task, electrical tools or equipment are needed to
perform the job. This lesson will discuss the function/use of
each tool or equipment used in electrical wiring installations.
SCREW DRIVER
• These tools are made of steel hardened and tempered
at the tip used to loosen or tighten screws with
slotted heads. They come in various sizes and
shapes.
STANDARD/FLAT
SCREW DRIVER
Its blade tip is wedge-
shaped and resembles
a negative (-) sign.
This is used to drive
screws with a
single slot ahead
PHILIPS SCREW
DRIVER
• has a cross tip
resembling a positive
(+) sign. This is used
to drive screws with
cross slot heads.
STUBBY SCREW
DRIVER
• comes in either Standard or
Philips screw driver with
short shank or blade and a
shorted handle used to turn
screws in tight space where
standard screw driver
cannot be used.
ALLEN SCREW
DRIVER/WRENCH
• could be in the shape of
a screw driver or a
wrench. Its function is
to drive screw with
hexagonal slot head.
HAMMERS
• These are tools used in driving or pounding
and pulling out nails. They are made of hard
steel, wood, plastic or rubber.
CLAW
HAMMER
• a hammer with one side of
the head split and curved,
used for extracting nails
MALLET(RUBBER
HEAD)
-a kind of hammer,
often made of rubber or
sometimes wood, that
is smaller than a maul
or beetle, and usually
has a relatively large
head.
BALLPEN
HAMMER
a hammer with a
-
rounded end opposite
the face, a type of
peening hammer used
in metalworking
PLIERS
• -made from metal with insulators in the handle
and are used for cutting, twisting, bending,
holding, and gripping wires and cables.
COMBINATION PLIERS
(LINEMAN’S PLIERS).
-This is used for gripping,
holding, and cutting
electrical wires and cables
and even small nails. They
are usually used by
linemen in doing heavy
tasks.
SIDE CUTTING
PLIERS
• type of pliers is
used for cutting
fine, medium and
big wires and
cables.
LONG NOSE
PLIERS
- used for cutting and
holding fine wires.
This can reach tight
space or small opening
where other pliers
cannot reach and also
used in making
terminal loops of
copper wires.
WIRE
STRIPPER
-A tool used for
removing insulation
of medium sized
wires ranging from
gauge #10 to gauge
#16.
ELECTRICIAN’S KNIFE
- used by linemen
to remove insulation
of wire and cables in
low and high
voltage transmission
lines.
PORTABLE
ELECTRIC DRILL
- A small drilling
machine with a
chuck capacity of ¼‖
to 3/8‖. It is used in
making holes on
metal sheets and
concrete walls.
HACKSAW
- tool is used to
cut metal conduit
and armored
cable.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES AND
MATERIALS
Electrical materials are developed and constructed for a special
purpose such as to:
control the flow of current in an electrical circuit;
carry electrical current from the source to the load or current consuming
apparatus;
hold and secure wires to its fixtures inside and outside houses and
buildings; and
protect the houses, buildings, appliances’ and instruments from any
destruction and damage.
CONVENIENCE OUTLET
-a device that acts as a
convenient source of
electrical energy for current
consuming appliances. It is
where the male plug of an
appliance is inserted and
usually fastened on the wall
or connected in an extension
cord. It maybe single,
duplex, triplex or multiplex
and could be surface type or
flush type.
MALE PLUG
-a device inserted to a
convenience outlet to
conduct electric current.
A flat cord is attached
to it on one end and the
other end is connected
to a current consuming
instrument or
appliance.
LAMP
HOLDERS
- devices that hold and
protect the lamp and are
also called as ―Lamp
Sockets/Receptacles‖.
These come in many
designs and sizes. They
are classified as flush,
hanging (weather
proof/chain) and
surface types.
SWITCH
- a device that connects
and disconnects the flow
of electric current in a
circuit. There are many
shapes, designs, and
types and they are
classified as hanging,
flush, and surface types.
FUSE
- a circuit protective
device that
automatically blows
and cut the current
when and over load
or short circuit
happens.
JUNCTION BOX
- an octagonal shaped
electrical material where
the connections or joints
of wires are being done. It
is also where the flush
type lamp holder is
attached. This could be
made of metal or plastic
(PVC) Polyvinylchloride
CIRCUIT
BREAKER
- a protective device
used to automatically
blows and cuts the
current when trouble
in the circuit such as
short circuit or
overload occurs.
UTILITY
BOX
- a rectangular shaped
metallic or plastic
(PVC) material in
which flush type
convenience outlet and
switch are attached.
FLAT CORD
-Is a duplex stranded wire
used for temporary wiring
installation and commonly
used in extension cord
assembly. It comes in a
roll of 150 meters and
with sizes of gauge # 18
and gauge # 16 awg
(American wire gauge).
ELECTRICAL
WIRE/CONDUCTOR
Electrical Wire/Conductor- electrical
material that could be:
a. Stranded wire which is made of multiple
strands joined together to make a single wire.
b. Solid wire is made of a single strand of copper
or aluminum wire. These are used in wiring
installation inside and outside the buildings.
electrical material that could be:

CONDUITS/PIPES
-electrical materials used as
the passage of wires for
protection and insulation.
These could be rigid metallic,
flexible metallic conduit
(FMC), rigid nonmetallic
(PVC), and flexible non-
metallic or corrugated plastic
conduit (CPC).
CLAMPS
- electrical
materials used to
hold and anchor
electrical conduits
in its proper
position.
CONNECTORS
-used to attach
metallic or non-
metallic conduit to
the junction or utility
boxes.
