Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education Self-Learning Module

on Electrical Installation and Maintenance!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the Learner:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education Self-Learning Module

on Electrical Installation and Maintenance!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an active
learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectations - This points to the set of knowledge and skills

that you will learn after completing the module.

Pretest - This measures your prior knowledge about the lesson

at hand.

Recap - This part of the module provides a review of concepts

and skills that you already know about a previous lesson.

Lesson - This section discusses the topic in the module.

Activities - This is a set of activities that you need to perform.

Wrap-Up - This section summarizes the concepts and

application of the lesson.

Valuing - This part integrates a desirable moral value in the

lesson.

Posttest - This measures how much you have learned from the
entire module.
 EXPECTATIONS
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. identify electrical symbols and signs according to job specifications;
2. determine electrical symbols and signs according to classification; and
3. draw electrical symbols and signs accordingly.

PRETEST

Copy and answer in your notebook T.L.E. notebook.
II. Directions: Draw a line to match the safety sign to its color code. Copy and
answer in your TLE notebook.

RECAP

Directions: Identify the electrical materials present in the pictorial diagram below.

 LESSON 1.1

Electrical Symbols

Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent

various electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit. These symbols
are used in sketching schematic diagrams and electrical plans for numerous types
of electrical works. Practically any electrical fixture found in a house has a symbol
that coincides to said fixture on an electrical wiring diagram. These are very useful
guide for an electrician or electrical contractor, thus, making the wiring easier to
install as well.

The following are common electrical symbols used in sketching wiring plan
and diagram.
 LESSON 1.2

Electrical Signs

The manual of a power tool may contain "WARNING ICONS" (picture

symbols intended to alert you to, and/or to instruct you how to avoid a potentially
hazardous condition). Knowing and understanding these symbols will help you
operate your tool better and more safely.

Electrical signs and stickers alert students, workers, and visitors to

electrical hazards in the area. Alerting workers to high voltage areas, electrical
hazards, power lines and other electrical equipment in the area, can help prevent
fires and injuries. Proper electrical signs can inform workers of the dangers in the
area.

Remember these safety color codes to better understand the importance of

each safety sign. So that, next time that you encounter safety sign at any place with
possible harm, you can identify whether the hazardous situations pose a threat to
your health and well-being.
