Introductory Message
For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the TVL 12 Self-Learning Module (SLM) on Installing electrical

wiring system using one lamp controlled by surface or flush single pole
switch!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators

both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in
helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while
overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration

What’s New

Go, go, go for the gold! The topic in this module invites you to uncover a pot of gold
of knowledge and thrive your skills a little deeper and further.

ACTIVITY 2: Sketch Me!

Directions: Based on the diagram of one lamp controlled by surface or flush type
single pole switch and a convenience outlet, draw the connection using line
diagram. Use your activity sheet.

 What is It

Now, let us go further!

A wall switch used to control ceiling light fixture or other fixture comes in
three types. Most common is the single-pole switch, the type used to control a light
fixture from a single location.

Definition of Terms:
Wiring diagram is a fundamental conventional graphic illustration of an
electrical circuit. It shows the simplified shapes of power, lighting, and signal
connection between the devices.
Pictorial diagram is a type of electrical print that shows external
appearance of each component in a circuit. It is much like a photograph of a wiring
installation. It shows more detailed physical appearance of a circuit or wiring
installation.

Schematic diagram is a wiring diagram using standard electrical symbols

for wiring devices. It is a representation of the elements of the system using
abstract and graphic symbol rather than realistic pictures.

Line diagram is a presentation of electrical connections of wiring devices

using single line and with slashes indicating the number of conductors in a line.
Actual Connection Diagram is a sketch of the actual connections of
electrical devices in a circuit or wiring installations. Like a schematic diagram it
also uses electrical symbols, but this is more detailed because it shows the wire
terminations and connections.

Let us refresh our minds on the schematic diagram of one lamp controlled
by surface or flush type pole switch using direct and alternating current.

 In a series circuit, all components are connected end-to-end, forming a
single path for current flow.
In a parallel circuit, all components are connected across each other,
forming exactly two sets of electrically common points.

This series and parallel circuit are closely related with our lessons to install
surface through one lamp controlled by surface or flush type single pole switch.

The SPST (Single Pole Single Through) switch to control a lamp / bulb
from single location, shown below.

The basic construction and operating mechanism of single way switch.

Procedure:

This is just like a series circuit i.e. all the components are connected in
series. Just connect the Neutral wire directly to the light bulb and then connect the
light bulb to the switch through middle wire. And then connect the live wire to the
switch as shown in the figure below. The figure shows the basic connection of light
switch and their position i.e. when the switch is OFF, the circuit acts like an open
circuit and the bulb will not glow. To switch on the bulb, switch S1 must be closed
to complete the circuit and glow the light bulb.

Reminders:

• Switches and fuses must be connected through line (live) wire.

• Less wires and cables are required in this kind of wiring connection.

8
Warning:
• Disconnect the power source before servicing, repairing, or installing electrical
equipment.
• Never try to work on electricity without proper guidance and care.
• Work with electricity only with the presence of those persons who have good
knowledge and practical work experience who know how to deal with
electricity.
• Read all instructions and cautions and follow them strictly.
• Contact a licensed electrician or the power supply company before practicing
any change in electrical wiring connection.
• Electricity is life but mishandling it results to high risk.
