IV. Common Competencies
A. KNOW
1. Assembly of Extension Cord Electrical gadgets are products of modern technology to make our lives better. The number of electrical gadgets available at home and offices may exceed the existing convenience outlet installed in every room. The best remedy to address the insufficiency of available outlet is to use an extension cord especially if the electrical gadgets need to operate at the same time. Extension cords come in several varieties to suit the needs of the user. One of the most important considerations is the power handling capacity to make it safe and functional. Some of the available extension cords in the market do not have the Product Standard (PS) or Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) markings. They are sub-standard; this may cause over loading and in worst case, may result in fire. PS or ICC marks are markings approved by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) for quality products. PS marks are for locally made products while ICC marks are for imported products. So, to be safe make sure you buy the extension cords with PS or ICC marks. To be practical, every household should have at least two or more extension cords at home. The prices of the quality extension cords available in the market are quite high, production of quality assembled extension cord will be a good business opportunity for you. Quality assembled extension cord will be possible even with the beginner, provided proper specifications of materials are strictly followed.

Page 31
5. Assembly of Lamp Shade There are times when fixed lightings within a room particularly if the light source is visible can contribute to make our eyes tired. This can trigger headaches and may affect our concentration. One solution is to use a lamp shade to diffuse the glare or strong intensity of the light source. It can also improve the appearance of the room. It has three major functions namely: It softens the light from a light bulb or other light source and reduces the glare. It covers the lamp hardware for better appearance. It serves to focus or direct the light from a lamp in a desired direction. There are different types of lampshades as to its function and mounting such as: wall, floor, hanging, and table top lampshade. The most common type of lampshade is the table top. It is usually made of a wire frame covered with fabric, sea shell, plastic or paper. The shape may be cylindrical, conical or square.
How to measure the shade Make a pattern using cartolina or Manila paper. Put a mark for the specific desired measurement.
Page 32
With the use of compass make a half circle following the marking of the exact measurements. (2 and 6) Cut the pattern. Take note of the allowance for over lapping. Then fold the pattern in a cylindrical form.
Suggested materials needed for the assembly of lamp shade: 1 pc Incandescent Bulb/ Compact Fluorescent lamp (CFL) 5-10 watts 1 pc Bulb Socket 1 pc Single Pole Switch 1 pc PVC pipe or other pipes (1 foot long and diameter)
1 pc Male Plug 2 meters Flat Cord #18awg 1 pc Lamp Shade Base out of recycled materials (plastic container, bottle, flower base, etc.) 1 pc Shade (out of any available materials in the community such as: fabric, sea shell, abaca fiber, plastic or paper ) Any decorating material such as: pebbles, beads, sequence, etc
Procedures for the assembly of lamp shade: Secure all the materials needed. Prepare the tools and instruments needed. Analyze the wiring diagram. Mount the bulb socket at one end of the pipe. Insert the flat cord along the pipe and connect it to the bulb socket.(do the underwriters knot) Bore appropriate hole for the base of the lamp shade. Insert the other end of the wire to the hole. Install the switch somewhere in the middle of the flat cord. Install the male plug at the end of the wire. (dont forget do the underwriters knot)
Page 34
Position the pipe at the center of the base. Place the pebbles inside the container so that the pipe can stand alone Make the frame or skeleton of the lamp shade using the wire considering the dimensions of the shade. Put decorating materials like beads, sequence, glitters and other materials available to enhance the physical appearance. Insert the shade at the frame after connecting the lamp to the socket. Apply voltage to the lamp shade and observe performance. Troubleshoot the circuit if necessary.
Reminder It's very important to choose the right size of lampshade. Light bulbs emit a lot of heat. A paper or fabric lampshade that is too close to the light bulb can become a fire hazard. Likewise, cylindrical lampshades should always have enough clearance and venting to allow heat to escape. Never cover the top of a lampshade with a scarf or other fabric, as this can cause a fire. Suggested Activity 9: Directions: Discuss the three major functions of the lampshades. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Suggested Activity 10: Directions: Among the different types of lampshades what do you think is the most practical and convenient to use? Why? ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________
6. Common Electrical Symbols Electrical Symbols are small drawings or icons, used to signify various electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit. Electrical devices, materials and even instruments can be represented by means of standard electrical symbols. Analysis and interpretation of electrical diagrams will not be possible if you are not familiar with these symbols. These symbols are very useful in electrical circuit assembly, installation, trouble shooting and servicing. The following are common electrical symbols used in a wiring plan and diagram.

7. Electrical Circuit An electrical circuit is simply a continuous path for current to flow. A simple electric circuit consists of four important elements the source, path, load and control. Source (power supply) the force or energy to provide electric current along the circuit. This can be classified as: AC Voltage source - comes from AC generator and Power Company the current is bidirectional DC Voltage source comes from dry cell, wet cell, battery and DC power supply the current is unidirectional Paths or lines source are the conducting path where the current flows Load (Current Consuming device)- it could be a bulb or any electrical appliance. Control (switch) this is used to turn ON or turn OFF electrical circuit conveniently. An electrical circuit can be presented in two different ways one is through a pictorial diagram and the other is through a schematic diagram. A Pictorial Diagram is a sketch of electrical circuit that shows the external appearance of each component. It is much like a photograph of the circuit and uses simple images of parts.
Page 39
A Schematic Diagram is a sketch showing the components of the circuit using standard electrical symbols. It shows the actual number of components, how the wiring is routed but not the actual location.
Types of Circuit Simple Circuit-is a wiring circuit which has a single load, switch and a source that could be either direct current or alternating current. This is the circuit used in lampshade assembly.
Page 40
Series Circuit - is a type of circuit wherein loads or current consuming devices are arranged like a chain, there is only one path, and therefore the current is constant or the same in any part of the circuit. If one bulb or load becomes defective, all the rest will not operate like in the case of Christmas lights.
Page 41
Parallel Circuit- is a type of circuit where the loads such as bulbs are connected across the power source. Each bulb receives the same amount of voltage. If one bulb becomes busted, the remaining bulbs will not be affected. This is the most common electrical circuit used in household and offices.
Electrical Circuit Defects
Page 42
Shorted circuit this condition happens if line 1 gets in contact with line 2 wherein the current did not flow along any load or current consuming device. The result is excessive or high current and high temperature that can cause tripping off circuit breaker and blown fuse. In worse cases it can cause fire damage to life properties
Page 43
Suggested Activity 13: Directions: The table below shows two common types of electrical circuit. Write their advantages and disadvantages under each corresponding column.
Suggested Activity 14: Based on your answer in the previous activity between series and parallel circuits, which is more advantageous to use? Why? ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ Suggested Activity 15: Draw the schematic diagram of the circuit used in the assembly of a Lamp shade.

8. Assembly of Water Heater Human activities are directly affected by existing climate. If the weather is cold routine activities like taking a bath in the early morning becomes a problem. You need to keep water lukewarm to finish your routine on time. One of the appropriate solutions is to use a water heater. This is a basic electrical gadget which is handy and user friendly. This is used for boiling, sterilizing and cooking. It is readily available in the market today. They come in different forms, shapes, designs and models that would fit the type of water to be boiled or heated. For example: Soft water- is well filtered and chlorinated. It does not contain minerals and impurities. This water is supplied by the local water district like NAWASA. Hard water- is water with light and heavy mineral content. This type of water comes from the deep well.
Note: Always refer to the instructions/manual available in the package before using the gadget to determine its appropriate use.

9. Soldering Techniques As an electrical technology student, you must remember that the normal operation of an electrical circuit depends on how an electrician performs the proper circuit connections. Loose connections will result to abnormal or intermittent operation. Soldering is one of the effective solutions needed in the assembly and repair of electrical gadgets. You need to learn and practice proper techniques in soldering to attain good soldered joints. In performing this process, you will need a soldering iron or soldering gun and soldering lead. The soldering lead is an alloy or mixture of tin and lead with a ratio of 60 percent tin and 40 percent lead. A hardened melted solder becomes permanent and durable electrical wire connections. The connection can withstand strong vibrations and movements. Soldering tools are readily available in the market. They are classified according to wattages rating, shape and size of the tips.
The following are the tools and materials used in soldering techniques. Soldering Iron- is a tool used to apply heat to the metal joint and to melt the solder/soldering lead to make a permanent joint. Its wattage ratings vary from 30 watts, 45 watts, 60 watts and 75 watts.
Page 52
Soldering Gun- a soldering tool that has a fast heating tip applicable for heavy duty applications. The contour shape is similar to that of a hand gun with a trigger that serves as the switch. The wattage rating of this tool varies from 60 to 100 watts.
Page 53
Soldering Stand- is used to hold the soldering iron when not in use or at rest. It keeps the hot soldering tip away from any object to avoid burning.
Soldering Lead/Solder- is an alloy that is a mixture of tin and lead. This is usually made in hollow form with center hole filled with rosin flux. The rosin flux makes the solder melt quickly and cleans the joints being soldered.
Page 54
Sponge- is a damp cloth used for cleaning the tip of soldering iron or gun and also used for wiping excess lead on the tip of the soldering iron.
Soldering Techniques Remove the insulator of the wire you want to connect together. Cross the twisted ends of the wires to be soldered.
Twist the strands of wire to be soldered so that it becomes one and it will be easy to solder.
Starting at the cross section, twist the wires together around themselves.
Page 55
Reminders Clean the tip of the soldering iron gun regularly. Tin the tip of soldering iron. Maintain the pointed tip of soldering iron and reshape it, if necessary. Apply the right amount of solder on the preheated metallic surface and not directly to the tip of the soldering iron. Let the melted solder flow freely around the joint surface. Solder the joint as quick as possible to avoid extreme heat on the components. Reheat the cold soldered joint. Use a soldering stand to avoid the tip to get in contact with combustible materials or your skin. Hold the excess terminal lead while cutting to prevent being hit by flying excess terminal wires.
Suggested Activity 21 Directions: Using actual soldering iron and soldering gun compare the features and characteristics of the two soldering tools.

Suggested Activity 22 Directions: Perform the soldering techniques using the following: Materials: 1 meter Solid wire #22 awg meter Soldering lead sheet Pad paper Tools: Soldering Iron (30 watts) Long Nose Pliers Side Cutting Pliers Soldering Stand Procedure in Soldering: Clean the tip of the soldering iron or gun using sand paper, file or knife. Remove the insulator of the wire. Clean the bare wire conductor using sand paper. Divide the wire into ten (10) equal lengths. Arrange the wire on sheet of paper. (The illustration below will be your reference.) Connect the plug of the soldering iron to the power source. After two to three minutes tin the tip of soldering with the soldering lead.
Heat the intersection of wires for few seconds.

Page 57
Apply appropriate amount of soldering lead on the free heated surface of the wire and not directly to the tip of the soldering iron.
Allow the melted solder to flow evenly around the joint surface.
Remove the tip of soldering iron and allow it to cool naturally.

10. Assembly of Continuity Tester and Test Light Continuity Tester and Test Light is a simple electrical gadget which is very useful in checking and monitoring electrical circuit conditions. This is a two in one gadget which has a toggle switch to indicate the particular mode. A Test Light is used to check the presence of power within the circuit. The Neon lamp which serves as the power indicator glows or produces light if the circuit being tested has power. Electric current in a single line can also be detected using this gadget. A Continuity Tester is used to check the continuity of conductor, switch, fuse and other electrical devices. This can also be used to check the line cord of electrical appliances such as; flat iron, electric stove, bread toaster, electrical fan, and many more. It has light emitting diodes (LED) that serve as an indicator. If the LED lights, the wire or conductor tested has continuity.

Tools and Instruments Needed in the Assembly of Continuity Tester and Test Light Soldering Iron Long Nose Pliers Side Cutting Pliers Mini electric drill DC Power Supply Multi-Tester
Procedures in Assembling Continuity Tester and Test Light Secure all the materials needed to save time. Check the condition of all components using multi-tester. Analyze the wiring connections and orientation of parts to determine the proper position of parts. Clean the electrodes or terminals of components to insure quality solder. Bore appropriate holes for light emitting diodes, neon lamp and toggle switch. Perform the wiring installations and solder the wiring connections. Connect the battery holder. Fix all parts and wirings on its casing. Set the toggle switch to continuity tester mode (CTM). Short the test probe, the LEDs should light which is a normal response of the continuity tester. Set the toggle switch in opposite position or test light mode (TLM). To avoid the LEDs light to be busted. Check the power of the convenience outlet, the neon lamp should light if it has power.
Page 62
REMINDER In assembling the continuity tester and test light, you must strictly follow the wiring diagrams because the light emitting diodes and battery have polarity. This means that there are positive and negative terminals that should not be interchanged. Another thing is you must be extra careful in using the devices. You have to see to it that the toggle switch is in its correct mode. For example you want to check if the particular convenience outlet has power what you should do is to set the toggle switch to test light mode (TLM) to avoid damaging the gadget. This gadget is comparable to a multi- tester which is too delicate. Proper care and maintenance is necessary because this is a significant instrument that you will be using for the next quarters.

V. SUMMARY
Electricity is a form of energy that can help us to make our tasks easier and help make our economy a successful one. However, electricity is dangerous and it can be harmful to everyone. Having skills in measuring devices, such as voltmeter, ammeter, wattmeter, ohmmeter, frequency meter, and multi-tester is very essential in any electrical work. These instruments are specifically useful in determining the actual
amount of current and voltage electrical circuits have. They are also important in trouble-shooting and servicing all types of electrical products and circuit systems. Every measuring instrument should be used with care and skill and should be properly maintained. You must therefore learn the basic concepts in the effective utilization of measuring instruments, observe precautionary measures to avoid damaging the meters, and perform repair work on them when needed.
With the help of this module you are now really equipped and have gained more bits of information in order to use electricity in your everyday life. Also, you can practically have an income if you use your abilities and skills whole heartedly for your community.
