ELECTRICAL

TOOLS, MATERIALS
AND SUPPLIES
OBJECTIVES

The students are enable to, identify electrical


supplies, materials, and tools needed in
electrical/wiring installation
ELECTRICAL
TOOLS
SCREWDRIVER

• 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
OR FLAT SCREWDRIVER

The blade tip is wedge-


shaped and resembles a
negative (-)sign. This is
used to drive screws with
a single slot head.
Philips Screwdriver/
Star Screwdriver

This has a cross tip resembling


a positive (+) sign. This is used
to drive screws with cross slot
heads.
It 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 screwdriver
cannot be used.

Stubby Screwdriver
Allen Screwdriver/
Wrench
This could be in the shape of a
screw driver or a wrench. Its
function is to drive screw with
hexagonal slot head.
Hammer
These are tools used in driving or pounding and pulling out nails. They
are made of hard steel, wood, plastic or rubber.

Mallet Ballpeen Hammer Claw Hammer


ELECTRICAL PLIERS
Combination Plier
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.
This type of pliers is used
for cutting fine, medium
and big wires and cables.

Side Cutting Plier


This is 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.

Long Nose Plier


Wire Stripper
A tool used for
removing insulation of
medium
sized wires
ELECTRICAL
MATERIALS AND
SUPPLIES
Convenience Outlet Surface Type
• 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.

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.
Flush type Surface type Hanging type Hanging type
with chain

devices that hold and protect the lamp and are also called as Lamp
Sockets/Receptacles‖. These come in many designs and sizes.

Lamp Holder
Flush Type
Surface Type
• A device that connects and disconnects the Switch
flow of electric current in a circuit.
• There are many shapes, designs
a circuit protective
device that
automatically blows
and cut the current
when and over load
or short circuit
happens.
Electrical Fuse
WHAT IS SHORT CIRCUIT?

 is an electrical circuit that allows a current to


travel along an unintended path with no or
very low electrical impedance.
a protective device used
to automatically blows and cuts
the current when trouble in the
circuit such as short Circuit Breaker
circuit or overload occurs.
WHAT IS OVERLOAD?
An electrical overload is
an excessive current
relative to the normal
operating current, but
one which is confined to
the normal conductive
paths of the circuit. 
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.
Utility box
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.
WIRE/CONDUCTOR

a. Stranded wire which is made


STRANDED
of multiple strands joined
together to make a single wire.
b. Solid wire is made of a single
strand of copper or aluminum
SOLID
wire.
CONDUIT
electrical
materials used
as the passage
of wires for
protection and
insulation.
CLAMP
Electrical
materials used to
hold and anchor
electrical conduits
in its proper
position.
CONNECTOR/ADPTER
used to attach metallic or
non-metallic conduit to the
junction or utility
boxes.
