LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
This module covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes on planning and
preparing work, installing electrical protective devices, lightning fixture and
auxiliary outlet and notifying completion of work for distribution, power, lighting,
auxiliary, lightning protection and grounding systems.
Plan your work, and work your plan. Many believe that if you had a
plan to follow you would always wind up on top or get an excellent result.
Planning out your work will make sure you get the most out of your
work day. Your time is an investment in yourself.
Budgeting your time on the job the way you can budget money will
help you reduce your stress, become healthy and accomplish more.
When planning your work for a day, see what tasks you can designate
to someone else or ask for an assistant to help you complete them. No one wins
when you try to do everything on yourself and wind up stressed out and
exhausted.
Safety Gloves
Safety Goggles
Goggles, meanwhile, sit directly on the face and seal the wearer’s
eyes, protecting them from splashes and dust. Safety goggles also provide more
reliable protection from plastic and metal projectiles.
Anti-static shoes banish the stacking of static electricity from the body
and also provide a good level of resistance to electrical hazards from live wires.
The non-conductive shoes are tagged as EH whereas anti-static is tagged as
ESD or SD. Leather safety shoes also come under the category of Anti-static
shoes.
Cover-all dress
Electrical workers shall wear arc rated natural fiber apparel such as
long sleeve shirts, long pants, jackets, coats, bib overalls, or coveralls to protect
the torso and limbs from arc flash hazards. PPE must be arc rated at or above
the incident energy or category level of the equipment being worked on.

Hammer
Tape measure
Laser level
Laser levels are a mainstream tool typically used in the construction and
surveying industry for levelling and aligning applications. They project a
constant red or green line onto a surface on a horizontal or vertical plane and
can be used for anything from hanging a picture to professional building work.
A flathead has a single blade, and a Phillips has two blades in the shape of a
cross. Attempts to use a flathead tool on a screw designed for a Phillips usually
won't be successful, and a Phillips screwdriver could never be used on a slotted
screw.
Electrical Pliers
Lineman's pliers are used by electricians to straighten, cut, grip, twist, push,
and pull wire. They are used to cut and bend light gauge metal and pull staples
and nails. The angular edges on the outside edge of the jaws are designed to
ream down ridges and burs on the inside lip of cut pipes.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Protective devices are important because they ensure that under fault
conditions, a high fault current cannot flow – as well as protecting the
installation this, more importantly, ensures that consumers are not injured or
killed as a result of an electrical fault.
Fuse
Specifically, stopping the flow of current when any fault occurs is the
primary function of the circuit breaker. The major advantage of the circuit
breaker is, it can work automatically to proceed the operations without any
external support. Additionally, there are many categories of the circuit breaker,
each one for its unique purposes. To point out, it practices semiconductors for
the protection.
Poly Switch
RCCB
Lighting Arrester
In other words, if the electric current supplied from the power source to
your blow dryer is higher than a predetermined number sized for your circuit
breaker, the device will trip, interrupting any more current to flow.
The breaking capacity of a circuit breaker can be greater than equivalent fuses
(up to 150 kA). And under overload conditions, a circuit breaker can trip up to
1000 times faster than a fuse. Some circuit breakers also provide exceptional
fault current limitation, a capability previously associated only with fuses.
There are a few different criteria to consider when selecting a circuit breaker
including voltage, frequency, interrupting capacity, continuous current rating,
unusual operating conditions and product testing.
Size the typical breaker current rating using an 80% utilization. This means,
when the expected maximum current of the circuit where the breaker to be
installed is 100A, then the breaker current rating must be 125A (100A/80%). In
other words, always add 25% margin (100A X 1.25 = 125A).
Medium voltage circuit breakers are the ones which operate on voltage levels
around 400 volts to 15kV approximately. The reason they are named so is that
extremely low voltage conditions are not suitable for them to operate properly,
neither a very high voltage helps them perform their operation accurately.
Safety switches
Protect you from electric shock. They turn off the electricity within
milliseconds when a current leak is detected. This can happen if a faulty power
Safety switches play a vital role in the well-being, health and safety of the
occupants of the home. In the event of a leak within the electrical current from
either an appliance or from wiring touching something it's not supposed to the
safety switch will cut the power off in less than a second.
Interlocked switches
Electric current can flow through a conductor only when the circuit formed
is complete. If there is a break in the loop, electric charges cannot flow through.
• For example, when you put on the light switches at home, the lights
come on because you have just completed the circuit allowing charges
from the power source to flow through and power your lights.
• The work done to overcome this resistance presents itself in the form
of heat.
• This is a simple explanation of the “heating effect” of current.
• For example, if the fuse that is used is underrated, then it will fail even
under normal current conditions, unnecessarily breaking the circuit
loop.
• If it is overrated, then it will not break the circuit when required and
cause equipment damage and failure and may even present itself as a
safety hazard.
It will not break the circuit when required and cause equipment damage and
failure and may even present itself as a safety hazard.
Function of Fuse
• Acts as a barrier between the electric circuit and the human body
• Prevents device failure due to faulty circuit operation
• Fuse prevents short-circuits
• Prevents overload and blackouts
• Prevents damage that is caused due to mismatched loads
The markings on the fuse carry information such as the Ampere rating, voltage
rating, and interruption rating.
Types of Fuses
Different types of fuses are available in the market, and they are classified on
the basis of different aspects. But mainly, fuses can be divided into two
categories based on the input supply as follows:
• AC fuses
• DC fuses

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
OBJECTIVES:
LIGHTING FIXTURE
Lighting fixtures provide light. They can be used as decorative elements in the
home or building, or they can serve a practical purpose such as providing
lighting for areas that are not normally illuminated.
Recessed Lighting
Recessed lighting is lighting built into the ceiling that either does not
protrude or barely protrudes from the surface of the ceiling. It blends
comfortably with most interior designs without drawing the eye up or occupying
floor, table, or wall space. Recessed lighting offers a wide range of lighting
effects by utilizing different beam angles and spreads.
Linear LED
Linear LED lighting has become the industry go-to for lighting hard-to-
reach spaces. The low-profile strips can be installed directly into ceiling coves,
cabinets, or built-in bookshelves for discreet accent or task lighting. But don’t
just think small – they can also be installed in the ceiling or walls for eye-
catching lines of light.
Pendants
Ceiling Lights
Floor and table lamps are standalone, portable light fixtures that
provide localized task or ambient lighting. Some lamps have shades to diffuse
light, others are designed to light a specific small area. Lamps are available in
integrated LED and incandescent, and range from traditional to ultra-modern.
Outdoor Lighting
Light fixtures rarely need to be replaced. They are simple and rarely fail or
break. However, you may want to change an old light fixture to modernize your
space. In addition, you may wish for a fixture that provides lighter or has smart
features. For example, there are light fixtures that connect to Alexa or your
smartphone and can change any color you want.
However, you can upgrade a light fixture without replacing it. Most hardware
stores sell replacement globes, shades, wires and chains. In addition, you can
buy a specialty light bulb to change the appearance of your fixture. If you really
want to be thrifty and crafty, you can paint your current fixture to update its
appearance.
Safety Considerations
Anytime you work with electricity, there is a risk of electrical shock. Always turn
off the power to any circuits you are working on. Always read and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when installing any component in your home.
Always wear the proper PPE such as safety glasses and gloves.
Tools
• Screwdriver
• Non-contact voltage tester
• Work light or headlamp

• Wire strippers
Materials
Domestic sockets
Domestic electrical outlets supply 120 volts in North America and 220-240 volts
in Europe, with most nations having outlets supplying voltages similar to one of
those two values. Socket size and shape vary greatly from country to country
(see figure 1), and for more information on the various sockets and plugs used
around the world, visit World Wanders. These differences don't change the basic
design for creating a circuit to draw electricity from the grid. Throughout these
different designs some fundamental components remain the same for most
types of sockets.
Polarization
Most outlets are polarized for safety. Polarized plugs can only be inserted into
them one way (which seems annoying, but is actually an important safety
feature). In North America, this is accomplished by having two differently sized
slots in addition to the rounded grounding slot, the larger of which is called the
neutral line, and the smaller called the hot line (see figure 2). The neutral is
connected by a wire to ground, so its voltage is 0 V. Instead, the hot slot
supplies the voltage required to draw current, and when a plug is inserted into
the socket, the energy flows in from the hot slot, through the circuit, and ends
at the neutral, which disperses the energy into the ground. Of course, to
complete the circuit all the way back to the generator, the neutral is also
connected back to the original distribution system in addition to being grounded
at multiple locations.
Most modern sockets in North America have a grounding slot in addition to the
hot and neutral (see figure 3). The grounding wire is connected much like the
neutral, as it also connects to a grounded neutral tie block. The grounding slot is
important for devices with a metallic casing or metal-cased power supply, like
computers. If a hot wire in the internal circuitry of an electronic device frayed or
somehow came into contact with a metallic casing, the entire device would then
become a serious shock hazard. However, the grounding wire is directly
connected to the casing of the device and will neutralize the risk of shock by
diverting current to the ground, which will trip the circuit breaker, and stop the
current flow to the device. Also, the ground prong will be longer than the neutral
and hot prongs so that the device is grounded before it ever becomes "hot" or
"live."
TWO-PRONGED RECEPTACLE
GROUNDED RECEPTACLE
TAMPER-RESISTANT RECEPTACLE
Eaton's Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) receptacles are designed to recognize
dangerous arcs in your wiring and immediately break the flow of electricity, thus
preventing your electrical system from becoming an ignition source for a fire.
USB RECEPTACLE
The USB 'receptacle' is the mechanical connector - the thing you plug a USB
cable into. That consists of electrical contacts in a plastic-and-metal housing.
The USB 'port' describes the connector, communication electronics, software
and any power supply electronics needed by the equipment the port is in.
o Turn off the power. Turn on the light you plan to replace. Go to your breaker
box and turn off the respective breaker. Ensure the light is off, indicating
that the power is off.
o Remove the light fixture. There are usually two to three screws or knobs to
remove. Sometimes the trim will twist off, revealing the screws. You should
never have to pry hard to remove anything. You may need a helper to hold
the light fixture while disconnecting the wires. Never leave the fixture
hanging by the wires.
o Confirm the power is off. You can never be too sure that the power is off.
Use a non-contact voltage tester to test the wires. Touch the wires with the
tester. If the tester is green, the power is off, and it’s safe to work on. If the
tester is red, the power is on.
o Disconnect the wiring. Take a photo first to refer to it when rewiring the new
fixture. Next, twist the wire nuts counterclockwise to remove them. Throw
the wire nuts out because you cannot reuse wire nuts. Twist the wires
counterclockwise to disconnect them and remove the fixture.
o Remove the mounting bracket. Every fixture comes with its own mounting
bracket. They are usually attached to the wiring junction box but may be
attached to the wall. Carefully remove the screws and the bracket. You may
need to patch the holes if the new fixture does not cover them.
o Install the new mounting bracket. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installing the new bracket. The brackets are typically installed with two
screws into the junction box.
o Connect the wiring. Generally, there are three wires – one black, one white
and one bare wire. These wires will connect to the corresponding colors in
the junction box wiring. Use wire strippers to remove 1/2-inch- of the plastic
jacket if needed. Twist the wires together in a clockwise direction. Twist the
new wire nuts over the wires in a clockwise direction. Stuff the wiring inside
of the junction box.
o Mount the new light fixture. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to
mount the new light fixture onto the mounting bracket.
o Install light bulbs and trim. Most light fixtures come with trim to cover the
hole in the wall or purely decorative trim. Follow the manufacturers to finish
up the installation.
o Test the light fixture. Turn the breaker back on and test to ensure your light
is working.
Once there is no current, you can be confident the outlet is safe to replace. Keep
in mind that different voltage testers emit different signals to indicate that the
outlet still has access to electricity. Make sure the tester you're using is
equipped with working batteries before you proceed with replacing the outlet.

COMPLETION OF WORK
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Power tools need to be stored in a dry, clean place. Storing power tools in a
moist environment can lead to problems with the electrical components and
cause corrosion. This can cause safety issues or cause your tool to stop working
completely. Tools also should be stored inside a case or cabinet when not in use.
Make it a habit to clean tools after each use before you return them to
storage. Wipe them down with a rag or old towel and be sure they are free of
dust, grease and debris before you put them into their proper places. This is
also an opportunity to look for any damage or defects.
Check the handle and body casing of the tool for cracks or other
damage. If the tool has auxiliary or double handles, check to see that they
installed securely. Inspect cords for defects: check the power cord for cracking,
fraying, and other signs of wear or faults in the cord insulation.
Your tools are your most valuable asset. They are what make doing your job
possible. Effective power tool maintenance is the key to making those tools last
and protecting your investment. Most tool maintenance practices are very
simple, easy habits that you can apply daily.
Overworking a tool puts a lot of stress on its motor and can cause it to
overheat. This mostly happens when you are trying to work through a difficult
material, like drilling into concrete or sawing a very hard wood. Overheating can
also occur if you run a tool too long without stopping. If your tool seems like it is
getting hot, stop what you are doing and give it a break until it can cool down.
This will help save you from wearing out the motor or burning out parts.
For your best tool maintenance, power tools should be cleaned at the
end of every shift and before they are stored away for the night. You can wipe
dirt and other particles from the outside casing with a good cleaning cloth.
Compressed air is the best option to clean the particles from the tool’s vents;
cleaning your tool’s exhaust vents with a brush could push the dirt farther into
the tool and inadvertently cause more damage later.
Lubricate
Lubrication is a must to keep all the moving parts on your power tools
working properly. Check the tool maintenance section of your owner’s manual
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to correctly lubricate your
tool’s model and which lubricant to use. Keeping your tool well-lubed keeps the
parts from chafing, heating and corroding.
Using old and worn-out drill bits or saw blades means you have to work
your power tool even harder to get the job done. This causes extra stress on the
motor which can damage parts or cause the tool to overheat with stress.
Likewise, it is also important to make sure you are using the right bit for the
material you are working
Calibrate
Power tools are precision instruments. They use a lot of moving parts
that need to remain in alignment. The tool maintenance schedule in your user’s
manual will outline when a tool should be recalibrated, usually after a specified
amount of use hours. Most tool companies offer calibration services for their
products.
Tool Storage
Power tools need to be stored in a dry, clean place. Storing power tools
in a moist environment can lead to problems with the electrical components and
cause corrosion. This can cause safety issues or cause your tool to stop working
completely. Tools also should be stored inside a case or cabinet when not in use.
This helps eliminate excess dust and particles getting into the tools through the
vents when not in use.
As your tool gets used, some parts will eventually need to be replaced.
One of the most common replacements is the tool’s carbon brushes, which are
responsible for conducting electricity through the motor. If your tool has a drive
belt, like in a belt sander or some power saws, monitor it for wear and replace
worn drive belts before they snap. Power cords and switch assemblies are also
Battery Care
Lithium-ion batteries are the current standard for power tools. One of
the most important factors to keeping your lithium-ion battery well maintained
is to manage heat. Allowing a battery to overheat can fry it beyond repair. Store
your batteries in a climate-controlled area and avoid leaving it in places where
the temperature spikes (such as in the back of an enclosed truck). Do not let the
battery run completely down before recharging it.
5 OF GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
SORT. Focuses on eliminating unnecessary items from the workplace that are
not needed for current production operations.
SHINE. Once the clutter that has been clogging the work areas is eliminated
and remaining items are organized, the next step is to thoroughly clean the
work area. Daily follow-up cleaning is necessary to sustain this improvement.
STANDARDIZE. Once the first three 5S's have been implemented, the next
pillar is to standardize the best practices in the work area. Standardize, the
method to maintain the first three pillars, creates a consistent approach with
which tasks and procedures are done.
SUSTAIN. Focuses on defining a new status quo and standard of work place
organization. Without the Sustain pillar the achievements of the other pillars will
not last long.
