What is It
Electrical Materials and Tools
Electrical task can be accomplished systematically to save time, effort, and
resources. Most of the work cannot be done using bare hands. To do the task, electrical
tools or equipment are needed to perform the job. This lesson will discuss the
function/use of each tool or equipment used in electrical wiring installations.
The following are common electrical tools and equipment needed in the
installation of electrical wiring.
I. SCREW DRIVERS. These

tools are made of steel
hardened and tempered at the
tip used to loosen or tighten
screws with slotted heads.
They come in various sizes
and shapes.
A. Standard/Flat Screw Driver.

The blade tip is wedge-shaped
and resembles a negative (-)
sign. This is used to drive
screws with a single slot head.
B. Philips Screw Driver. This

has a cross tip resembling a
positive (+) sign. This is used
to drive screws with cross slot
heads.

shank or blade and a shorted
handle used to turn screws in
tight space where standard
screw driver cannot be used.
D. Allen Screw Driver/Wrench.

This could be in the shape of a
screw driver or a wrench. Its
function is to drive screw with
hexagonal slot head.

drilling machine with a chuck
capacity of ¼‖ to 3/8‖. It is
used in making holes on metal
sheets and concrete walls.
VII. Hacksaw. This tool is used to

cut metal conduit and armored
cable.
Electrical Supplies and Materials

Electrical materials are developed and constructed for a special purpose such as to:
1. Control the flow of current in an electrical circuit;

2. Carry electrical current from the source to the load or current consuming apparatus;
3. Hold and secure wires to its fixtures inside and outside houses and buildings; and

4. Protect the houses, buildings, appliances’ and instruments from any destruction and
damage.
The following are the most commonly used electrical materials.
Convenience outlet- 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.
 Surface type (duplex)
 Flush type (duplex)
Male plug- 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.
Male plugs
Lamp holders- devices that hold and

protect the lamp and are also called as
―Lamp Sockets/Receptacles‖. These come
in many designs and sizes. They are
classified as flush, hanging (weather
proof/chain) and surface types.
Switch - a device that connects and

disconnects the flow of electric current in a
circuit. There are many shapes, designs,
and types and they are classified as
hanging, flush, and surface types. surface types flush types
hanging

Fuse - a circuit protective device that
automatically blows and cut the current
when and over load or short circuit
happens.
Circuit Breaker - a protective device used

to automatically blows and cuts the current
when trouble in the circuit such as short
circuit or overload occurs.
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.
Utility Box - a rectangular shaped metallic

or plastic (PVC) material in which flush type
convenience outlet and switch are attached.
Flat Cord- Is a duplex stranded wire used

for temporary wiring installation and
commonly used in extension cord
assembly. It comes in a roll of 150 meters
and with sizes of gauge # 18 and gauge #
16 awg (American wire gauge).
Electrical Wire/Conductor- electrical

material that could be:
a. Stranded wire which is made of multiple
strands joined together to make a single
wire.
b. Solid wire is made of a single strand of
copper or aluminum wire. These are used

in wiring installation inside and outside the
buildings.
a. Stranded wire
b. Solid wire

Conduits/Pipes- electrical materials used
as the passage of wires for protection and
insulation. These could be rigid metallic,
flexible metallic conduit (FMC), rigid nonmetallic
(PVC), and flexible non-metallic or
corrugated plastic conduit (CPC)
Metallic conduit
Flexible Non-metallic conduit or corrugated
plastic conduit (CPC)
Rigid Non-metallic conduit (PVC)
Clamps- electrical materials used to hold

and anchor electrical conduits in its proper
position.
Metal clamp Plastic clamp
Connectors- used to attach metallic or

non-metallic conduit to the junction or utility
boxes.
Metal connector
Flexible non
metallic connector
