1.Identify electrical materials and tools base on job
requirements.
2. Use appropriate electrical materials and tools for the
specific task.
3. Express appreciation in the importance of these tools
and materials in doing electrical installation and
maintenance.
Lesson 1 - Prepare a list of electrical tools and
materials for a specific job
Week 1
PREPARE A LIST OF ELECTRICAL TOOLS
AND MATERIALS FOR A SPECIFIC JOB
ELECTRICAL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
I. Screw Drivers - 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.
II. Hammers - These are tools used in
driving or pounding and pulling out nails.
They are made of hard steel, wood, plastic
or rubber.
III. Pliers – These tools are made from metal with
insulators in the handle and are used for cutting,
twisting, bending, holding, and gripping wires and
cables.
IV. Wire Stripper - A tool used for removing insulation
of medium sized wires ranging from gauge #10 to
gauge #16.
V. Electrician’s Knife – This is used by linemen to
remove insulation of wire and cables in low and high
voltage transmission lines.
VI. 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.
VII. Hacksaw – This 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:
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
4. protect the houses, buildings, appliances’ and instruments
from any destruction and damage
Electrical Materials
____1. This is used for griping, holding, cutting electrical wires and
cables and even small nails. Usually used by linemen in doing heavy
tasks.
____2. 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.
____3. This has a cross tip resembling a positive (+)
sign. It is used to drive screws with cross slot heads.
____4. This tool is used in driving or pounding and
pulling out nails.
____5. A tool used for removing insulation of medium
sized wires ranging from gauge #10 to gauge #16.
____6. 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.
____7. Comes in either Standard or Philips screw driver with
short shank or blade and shorted handle used to turn screws
in tight space where standard screw driver cannot be used.
____8. Used by linemen to remove insulation of wire and
cables in low and high voltage transmission lines
____9. Is 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.
____10. This is a circuit protective device that automatically
blows and cut the current when an over load or short circuit
happens.
____11. This is a rectangular shaped metallic or plastic (PVC)
material in which flush type convenience outlet and switch are
____12. Are electrical materials used as the passage of
wires for protection and insulation.
____13. Are used to attach metallic or non-metallic
conduit to the junction or utility boxes.
_____14. This is a protective device used to automatically cut off the
current when trouble in the circuit such as short circuit or over load
occurs.
____15. Is 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
COMMON WIRE SPLICES AND JOINTS
Introduction As a student in Electrical Installation and
Maintenance, you should acquire the important
knowledge and skills in wire splices and joints and should
be familiar with the actual application of every splice and
joint. This will serve as your tool in performing actual
wiring installation. Of course, another factor is the
knowledge in interpreting and analyzing the wiring
diagram especially if the circuit is complicated.

EXTENSION CORD
An extension cord is a span of flexible electrical

power cable with a plug on one end and multiple
sockets on the other end. It comes in several
varieties to suit the needs of the user. One of the
most important considerations is the power
handling capacity to make it safe and functional.
EXTENSION CORD
Electrical gadgets are product of modern technology to
make our life better. The number of electrical gadgets
available at home and in offices may exceed the
existing convenience outlet installed in every room. The
best remedy to address the insufficiency of available
outlet is to use an extension cord especially if the
electrical gadgets need to operate at the same time.
PROJECT PLAN IN MAKING AN EXTENSION
CORD
INTRODUCTION
You might be wondering why there are several projects which are not
completely done. Well, there are several reasons why this happens. It might
be out of budget or not properly planned. So, this Lesson will help you
achieve the desired quality project. A project plan is necessary before
undertaking any project because it serves as your guide in accomplishing
an activity. It will give you an idea what needs to be done, how much to
spend and what procedures to undertake. A well prepared project plan
saves time and cost of materials. Below is a sample project plan of an
extension cord. This format can also be used in preparing a plan for other
projects in the future
