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.

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.
