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.

COMMON WIRE SPLICES AND JOINTS

Introduction
As a student in Electrical Installation and Maintenance you should acquire the important
knowledge and skills in wire splices and joints and should be familiar with the actual application
of every splice and joint. This will serve as your tool in performing actual wiring installation. Of
course, another factor is the knowledge in interpreting and analyzing the wiring diagram especially
if the circuit is complicated.

The following are the Common Electrical Wire Splices and Joints.

EXTENSION CORD
An extension cord is a span of flexible electrical power cable with a plug on one end and
multiple sockets on the other end. It comes 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.
Electrical gadgets are product of modern technology to make our life better. The number
of electrical gadgets available at home and in 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.

REMINDER
Be careful in buying an extension cord. You have to look for the Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI) markings. The Product Standard (PS) or Import Commodity Clearance (ICC)
markings on it signify that the product passed the DTI standard for safety and quality.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF FORMS

Correctness of the entry of different forms used in electrical work is necessary in order to
acquire right, complete and accurate number of materials and tools needed in a specific electrical
job. Here are samples of different forms used in electrical work.

1. Purchase requisition is a document generated by a user department or store room personnel

to notify the purchasing department items it needs to order, their quantity, and the timeframe. It
may also contain the authorization to proceed with the purchase. This is also called purchase
request or requisition.

2. Inventory are raw materials, work-in-process goods and completely finished goods that are
considered to be the portion of a business's assets that are ready or will be ready for sale.
Inventory represents one of the most important assets that most businesses possess, because
the turnover of inventory represents one of the primary sources of revenue generation and
subsequent earnings for the company's shareholders/owners.

3. Job order or Work Order form is a written instruction to perform a work according to 4. BORROWER’S FORM is a form used to request for tools and equipment needed for a particular
specified requirements, within specified timeframe and cost estimates. job. It indicates the department that the borrower is connected, the date, the job that is to be done,
who is the person to approve the request, when it was returned and if it was in good condition.
