MIDTERMS 1. METALLIC
- thin layer of steel
- metal conduits or flexible conduits
- mostly used for exteriors (service entrance)
I. WIRING SYSTEMS - made of steel which is very strong
- electrical system that brings the power
from the pole or the other point on the PVC - not UV resistance
exterior power distribution live to the point
on or inside the building NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturing
- system where the delivery of a power is Association)
distributed within a building - assures that the pipe / electrical
components depends on the requirements
1. EXPOSED INSULATED CABLES
- nowadays its not adisable to use TWO TYPES OF METALLIC CONDUITS
- it depends on the sting to protect the CLASS A CONDUIT
conductor. - low gauge
- thin pipes
2. INSULATED CABLES IN OPEN - thin layers steel
RACEWAYS - schedule 20 (thickness)
- intended for industrial application
-relies upon both cable and tray for safety CLASS B CONDUITS
- high gauge
3. INSULATED CABLES IN CLOSED - schedule 40 (thickness)
RACEWAYS
-tubo na malaki (retangular) METAL PIPES/ CONDUIT
- THE STANDARD LENGTH IS 6M.
4. FLEXIBLE METAL CLAD
- assembly of wires and plastic insulated 2. NON METALLIC CONDUIT
bound together with a tape or braided - must be so labelled and must be resistant
wrapped to moisture and corrosion.
TEMPERATURE SWITCH
- usually used for electric kettles, oven,
aircons…
JOYSTICK SWITCH
- used mainly in portable lifting equipment
- ideally suit for lowering, triggering
movements
ROTARY SWITCH
- burner switch is an example
- 1 or more moving contacts
PHOTO SWITCH
- same with motion switch but using a
camera.
II. ELECTRICAL
PLANS
RISER DIAGRAM
SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM
- represents all the connection throughout
the lighting, power, and communication
utilities.
SCHEDULE OF LOADS
- tabulation and computations
# 1 to # 4 - lighting
#5 - convenience (start)
