Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, the trainee will be able to:
1. Familiarize types and usage of Lighting Fixture.
On our previews topic you learned about making and interpreting plan
and preparing work. Other topics discussed were about installation of
protective electrical devices. Now, in the information sheet, you are going to
study about Types and Usage of Lighting Fixture.
Revision #
These are the Three Basic Types of Lighting Fixtures
1. Ambient Lighting
This is one of the most common types of lighting. Ambient light is a soft
glow that blankets your space just enough for you to function without causing
a harsh glare. In photography and cinematography, ambient light is considered
the "natural light" within a room. In décor, ambient light is very similar, except
you create the ambient light by making the room's lighting as natural and flat
as possible. While ambient light is meant to get you safely from point A-to-B, it
is not ideal for working closely with things or to highlight things around your
space.

Swing arm lamps allow you
to adjust the light anyway
you’d like. Since lamps are
lightweight, portable, and
adjustable these are the
ideal task lights.

How to Use Accent Lighting?
Accent lighting is one of the types of lighting that
creates a very sophisticated atmosphere. It evokes
feelings of meaning and importance to the images it
displays. This lighting type is used a lot for museums,
historical buildings and art shows.
We recommend using the following lights to create
accent light.
Wall Lights

How an Electric Outlet Works
An electrical outlet is the receptacle for the plug of an electrical device. In other
words, the outlet is the receptacle an appliance is plugged into. Outlets can
come with one, two or three receptacles where one, two or three appliances can
be plugged-in. There are various types of outlets available, so it's important to
know the differences between them before you attempt to rewire your house.
We will now explain the different types of electrical outlets.
Everything you need to know about the topic is written right below, check it out so
that you can have a better understanding on each of the types.

3. Switch and
Outlet
Combinati A combo device is the combination
ons of switch and outlet in the same
enclosure box. The built-in switch
can be wired to control the
receptacle in the enclosure box.
The switch can be also wired
through a jumper wire where the
switch will control an additional
load point such as lighting point.
Revision #
6. GFCI GFCI stands for ground fault circuit
Outlet interrupter. A GFCI is required in
any areas with an increased risk of
shock due to electrical hazards,
such as water. In order to protect
you from electrical hazards, a
GFCI monitors electrical current,
turning off an electrical circuit when
it detects an imbalance - current
flowing along an unintended path.
Think of a GFCI as a small, extra-
sensitive circuit breaker built right
into an outlet to protect you against
electrocution – even in outlets that
are not grounded. GFCIs are
currently required for use in:
Bathrooms
Kitchens
Laundry and utility rooms
Garages
Crawlspaces and unfinished
basements
Wet bars
The exterior of your
home/business
Spa and pool areas
Bedrooms
Any sleeping area: dens,
foldout couches, etc.

USB Outlets are common in households
today. If you have found
yourself frustrated looking for
free USB ports or charging
bricks, USB wall outlets may
be the solution. These give
you one or more USB sockets
directly on your wall, often
sharing a plate with other
two- or three-pronged outlets.
Just plug in your cables
directly into the wall to
recharge your smartphone,

Switch - An electrical material used to control the flow of current.
Load – it is considered as the current consuming device.
Wires – an electrical material where the current flows.
Source – it is where the current is taken to supply energy to appliances
and gadgets.
Flexible armored cable – used in building wiring installation and it is
also used in wet and dry location.
Wiring diagram – these are used by electricians as their guide in
installing electrical wirings in buildings and houses.
Wires are those conductors 3.26mm or No. 8AWG and smaller in sizes. Cables
are those which are larger than wires. Therefore, wires are small cable while cables are
big wires.

Information Sheet 2.3-3b
Learning Objectives:
Introduction:
Electrical symbols used on an architectural plan show the location and type
of electrical device required. A typical electrical installation as taken from a
plan is shown in Figure 1.1.
The NEC has many words unique
to the electrical trade. For example:
• A device is A unit of an electrical
system that carries or controls
electric energy as its principle
function.
• An outlet is A point on the wiring
system at which current is taken to
supply utilization equipment.
• A receptacle is A contact device installed at the outlet for the connection of
an attachment plugs.
• A receptacle outlet is an outlet
where one or more receptacles
are installed, Figure 1.2.
• A lighting outlet is an outlet
intended for the direct
connection of a lamp holder or
luminaire. See Figure 1.3.
• A split-wired receptacle is electrician’s
jargon, not an official NEC definition.
Electricians are very creative in their use of
terms. Other terms for the use of these
Revision #
receptacles include split-receptacle, split-wired, split-switched, switched-
receptacle, and half-switched.
To convert a conventional
duplex receptacle into a split-
wired receptacle, simply remove
the tab between the two
ungrounded conductor
terminals (brass colored). The
receptacle can then be used
where one receptacle is “hot” at
all times, and the other
receptacle is switch controlled.
Another common application is
to connect each receptacle of the
duplex to a separate branch circuit.
By definition, toggle switches, receptacles circuit breakers,
fuses, and occupancy sensors are devices because they carry or
control current as their principal function.
The term opening is widely used by electricians and electrical
contractors when estimating the cost of an installation. The term
opening covers all lighting outlets, receptacle outlets, junction
boxes, switches, etc. The electrician and/or electrical contractor will
estimate a job at “X dollars per lighting outlet,” “X dollars per
switch,” “X dollars per receptacle outlet,” and so on. These
estimates will include the time and material needed to complete the
job. Each type of electrical opening is represented on the electrical
plans as a symbol. The electrical openings in Figure 1-1 are shown
by the symbols in Figure 1-4.
ANSI recently published a totally revised standard entitled
Symbols for electrical Construction Drawings. This was the first
revision in over 25 years. Figures 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 show
the electrical symbols most commonly found on architectural and
electrical plans. Because some items may have more than one
symbol, it is important to check the plans and specifications of any
job you are working on for a symbol schedule to make sure you
have interpreted the symbols correctly.

lighting fixture and auxiliary outlet
Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. handle tools and equipment;
2. identify the basic tips in storing electrical tools and
equipment;
3. demonstrate the proper care of tools and equipment.
Introduction:
It contains the “know” and “do” units in Installation of
Electrical Lighting
System on Auxiliary Outlets and Lighting Fixtures. Covers installation of
knob and tube, PVC raceway/molding, rigid non-metallic conduit, flexible
non-metallic conduit, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and incandescent lamp
Wiring Methods
1. Knob and tube method
The open or exposed wiring method is sometimes referred to
as the Open Wiring on Insulators. (PEC section 212) It uses cleats,
knobs (split or solid), porcelain tubes and mica tubing for the
support and protection of insulated conductors run in or on
buildings. It may be used in working either outside or inside
building in dry or wet
locations. It shall not be
used in the following
locations:
1. Commercial Garages
2. Theaters
3. Motion Picture Studios
4. Hoist ways
5. Hazardous Locations
In the open or
exposed wiring method,
the wires are visible and are supported by the knobs. These knobs
may be a split or solid type.
Split knobs are used to support wires smaller than No. 8.
Solid knobs are used to support or anchor wires as big as No. 8 or
even bigger. Screws or nails may be used to fasten the knobs. When
a nail is used a leather washer should be placed between the nail
head and the insulator to form cushion and protect the insulator
from breaking.
In installing an electrical wiring system with the exposed
knob and tube wiring method, the distance between conductors
Revision #
should be maintained at a minimum distance of 6 cm. (2 ½ inches)
apart. The knobs must have a 30cm (1 foot) distance apart. Figure
4 illustrates this provision of PEC.
Revision #
Different types of Surface Raceway
3. Rigid Non-Metallic Conduit (PVC)
Non-metallic conduits are electrical materials which are
manufactured to be resistant to moisture and chemical
atmosphere. They are also manufactured to be flame retardant or
not easily burned. They are resistant to impact and crushing. They
do not easily get out shape by the heat. These conduits are
classified according to the materials they are made of. The most
common ones are asbestos cement conduit, polyvinyl chloride,
conduit and high-density polyethylene conduit.
The Philippine Electrical Code provides that rigid non-metallic conduit may be
used under the following conditions:
1. Concealed in floors, walls and ceilings
2. Direct earth burial or underground
300 mm in trench below 50mm thick concrete or equivalent
600 mm under streets, highways, roads, alleys, driveway and parking lot
