ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE NC II

Electricity is a form of energy as phenomenon that is a result of an electrical change (produce

by nature)
Discovered by Benjamin Franklin
Sources of Electricity

 Motion
Switch-controls the flow of electrical energy by opening (breaks) or closing (continues) the
path
Types of Switches
 Flush type
 Surface type
Outlet- a place or opening through which something is let out: EXIT, VENT
 Single Convenience Outlet
 Duplex convenience Outlet
 Triplex convenience Outlet
 Quadruplex convenience Outlet

An electrical circuit can be open or closed.

In an open circuit, there is no electricity flow because the path is broken.
In a closed circuit, there is a flow of electricity because the path is continuous.

A circuit diagram is used to represent the electrical circuit using industry-standard symbols.
It shows the path of the electrical energy flow, and how the components are connected to
each other. There are two types of circuit diagrams: pictorial style and schematic style. The
pictorial style uses simpler illustrations of the components so that it would be more
understandable to a less technical audience. On the other hand, the schematic style uses
industry-standard symbols.
