2nd Flashcards
a device that acts as a convenient source of electrical energy for current consuming appliances.
Convenience outlet
It is where the male plug of an appliance is inserted and usually fastened on the wall or connected in an extension cord.
Convenience outlet
It maybe single, duplex, triplex or multiplex and could be surface type or flush type.
Convenience outlet
a device inserted to a convenience outlet to conduct electric current.
Male plug
A flat cord is attached to it on one end and the other end is connected to a current consuming instrument or appliance.
Male plug
devices that hold and protect the lamp and are also called as -Lamp Sockets/Receptacles.
Lamp holders
These come in many designs and sizes. They are classified as flush, hanging (weatherproof/chain) and surface types.
Lamp holders
a device that connects and disconnects the flow of electric current in a circuit.
Switch
There are many shapes, designs, and types and they are classified as hanging, flush, and surface types.
Switch
a circuit protective device that automatically blows and cut the current when and overload or short circuit happens.
Fuse
A protective device used to automatically blows and cuts the current when trouble in the circuit such as short circuit or overload occurs.
Circuit breaker
It comes in 2 poles, 3 poles and 4 poles.
Circuit breaker
Is an octagonal shaped electrical material where connections, joints or termination of wires are being done.
Junction box
It is also where the flush type lamp holder is attached.
Junction box
This could be made of metal or plastic (PVC) Polyvinylchloride.
Junction box
a rectangular shaped metallic or plastic (PVC) material in which flush type convenience outlet and switch are attached.
Utility box
Is a duplex stranded wire used for temporary wiring installation and commonly used in extension cord assembly.
Flat cord
It comes in a roll of 150 meters and with sizes of gauge # 18 and gauge # 16 awg (American wire gauge).
flat cord
types of Electrical wire / conductor
a. Stranded wire
b. Solid wire
wire which is made of multiple strands joined to make a single wire.
Stranded wire
wire is made of a single strand of copper or aluminum wire. These are used in wiring installation inside and outside the buildings.
Solid wire
electrical materials used as the passage of wires for protection and insulation.
Conduits/ Pipes
These could be rigid metallic, flexible metallic conduit (FMC), rigid nonmetallic (PVC), and flexible non-metallic or corrugated plastic conduit (CPC).
Conduits/ Pipes
electrical materials used to hold and anchor electrical conduits in its proper position.
Clamps
Are used to attach metallic or non-metallic conduit to the junction or utility boxes.
Connectors
are used to protect/ cover live/open wires
electrical tape
transmit energy from one place to another
