general use.
4. 4. The following are electrical devices and materials used in the assembly of basic
electrical gadgets such as extension cord, lamp shade, etc. These 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.
5. 5.  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.  Protect the houses, buildings,
appliances and instruments from any destruction and damage.
6. 6. CONVENIENCE OUTLET Convenience Outlet is 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.
7. 7. CONVENIENCE OUTLET
8. 8. MALE / AC PLUG Male Plug - 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.

22. 22. UTILITY BOX Utility Box - a rectangular shaped metallic or plastic (PVC) material
in which flush type convenience outlet and switch are attached.
23. 23. UTILITY BOX
24. 24. JUNCTION BOX 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.
25. 25. JUNCTION BOX
26. 26. FLAT CORD Flat Cord - a duplex stranded wire used for temporary wiring
installation and commonly used in extension cord assembly.
27. 27. FLAT CORD
28. 28. ELECTRICAL WIRE OR CONDUCTOR Electrical Wire/Conductor- electrical
material that could be: Stranded wire which is made of multiple strands joined together to
make a single wire. Solid wire is made of a single strand of copper or aluminum wire.
These are used in wiring installation inside and outside the buildings.
29. 29. ELECTRICAL WIRE OR CONDUCTOR
30. 30. ELECTRICAL CONDUITS / PIPES Electrical Conduits/Pipes - electrical materials
used as the passage of wires for protection and insulation. These could be rigid metallic,
flexible metallic conduit (FMC), rigid non-metallic (PVC), and flexible non-metallic or
corrugated plastic conduit (CPC).
31. 31. ELECTRICAL CONDUITS / PIPES Rigid Non-metallic conduit (PVC) and Metallic
conduit
32. 32. ELECTRICAL CONDUITS / PIPES Flexible Non-metallic conduit or corrugated
plastic conduit (CPC)
33. 33. ELECTRICAL CONDUITS / PIPES
34. 34. ELECTRICAL TAPE Electrical Tape – used to protect and cover live or open wires.
35. 35. ELECTRICAL TAPE
36. 36. ACTIVITY By group, name the 5 actual electrical supplies and materials that your
groupmates brought to school. Write your answers in a 1/4 sheet of paper. Afterwards,
present your answers to the class using the realias. Note: every correct answer is
equivalent to 4 points. 20 for the highest score and 0 for the lowest score.
37. 37. Quiz Direction: Identify the given electrical supply. Write the answer at the back of
your big notebook.

39. 39. TYPES OF ELECTRICAL CONDUITS
40. 40. PVC CONDUIT PIPE PVC Conduit Pipe – are popular type of electrical conduit
used for above ground and underground applications. These conduits are made of high
quality PVC and are flexible in nature. The pipes have high electrical strength and impact
resistance.
41. 41. PVC CONDUIT PIPE
42. 42. RIGID STEEL CONDUIT Rigid Steel Conduit – This heavy-duty pipe has threaded
ends.
43. 43. ELECTRICAL METALLIC TUBING (EMT) Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) –
These conduits are relatively easy to bend, cut, and form. This light gauge pipe is also
known as thin wall conduit.
44. 44. ELECTRICAL METALLIC TUBING (EMT)
45. 45. NONMETALLIC CONDUITS OR PVC CONDUITS Nonmetallic Conduits or PVC
Conduits – These are circular in shape and generally corrugated. These conduits are used
in underground installations. These are popular because these provide high strength, have
a low absorption rate, watertight joints, and have low installation costs.
46. 46. NONMETALLIC CONDUITS OR PVC CONDUITS
47. 47. GALVANIZED RIGID CONDUITS (GRC) Galvanized Rigid Conduits (GRC) –
These metallic conduits are coated with zinc for increasing resistance to corrosion and
abrasion.
48. 48. GALVANIZED RIGID CONDUITS (GRC)
49. 49. INTERMEDIATE METAL CONDUITS (IMC) Intermediate Metal Conduits (IMC) These have circular raceways that are rigid and have thinner walls as compared to rigid
metal conduits.
