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. differentiate pictorial and schematic diagram;
2. recognize components, assemblies or object as per job requirement; and
3. read blueprints of electrical plans, diagrams, and circuit.

PRETEST

Directions: Study the illustration below. In your TLE notebook, write the difference
between Pictorial diagram and Schematic diagram.
 RECAP

Directions: Identify the electrical symbols present in the schematic diagram below.

LESSON 2.1

Electrical Wiring Diagram

The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be represented by diagram.

There are two types of diagram: pictorial diagram and schematic diagram.

A. Pictorial diagram is a sketch of electrical circuit that shows the actual

appearance of each component. It is much like a photograph of the circuit and
uses simple images of parts.
 B. Schematic diagram is a sketch showing the components of the circuit using standard
electrical symbols. It shows the actual number of components and how the wiring is
routed but not the actual location.

Types of Circuit

An electrical circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current

source flow. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the
"source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is
called the "return" or "earth ground".

A. Series Circuit is a circuit in which lamps are arranged in a chain, so that the
current has only one path to take. The current is the same through each load.

Example of this is the Christmas lights. It consists of a number of bulbs that

are connected side by side to meet the voltage requirement which is 220 volts for
alternating current.
 The eight light bulbs are connected in series. If one bulb goes out, then the entire
string goes out.

B. Parallel Circuit is a circuit in which lamps are connected across the wires. The
voltage across each load on parallel circuit is the same. The advantage of using
parallel circuit is that even if one of the lamps fails, still the remaining lamps will
function.

There are also Christmas lights that are arranged in parallel circuit. Such
as this picture below.
 Flow of Electric Current in Circuits

Study the how the electric current flows in each circuit.

In a series circuit, current flows to each bulb in turn. When one of the bulbs
failed, the circuit will be open causing the other bulbs not to function.

While in parallel circuit, the circuit divides and flows directly to the bulbs at
the same time. When one of the bulbs failed, the electric current of the other bulbs
will continue to flow that’s why they will still function.
