3. Draw a right angle on the floor using your try square and chalk. This
will serve as your guide when forming your conduit into 90o angle. (A
tile on the floor can serve as a guide.)
4. If you are in a room with a tiled floor, you can use it as your guide for
90o angle.
5. Draw an arc near the corner with a radius of 100 mm; this will aid
you in forming your elbow correctly.
Note: 20 mm diameter of PVC should have a radius of 100 mm as
mentioned in the previous information sheet.
100 mm

6. Mark off 200 mm from the end of PVC pipe. This will be the center of
your elbow bend.
7. Plug-in the heat gun and apply heat to the conduit. Apply heat
100mm on both sides of your marking. Apply heat evenly by turning
over the conduit while swaying your heat gun back and forth to avoid
kinks during bending.
31
9. If the conduit is soften, turn off the heat gun and bend the PVC to the
desired shape using your arc and 90o angle guide drawn on the floor.
10. If the desired shape is formed, damp the conduit with wet rug to
harden it immediately. (You can use your foot to hold one end of the
conduit while wiping.)

Introduction:
In installing electrical circuit, you may use any type of approved
wiring method for the purpose. It has been a practice in this field to use
flexible nonmetallic tubing because flexibility is required for installation,
operation, and maintenance. You may use rigid nonmetallic conduit (PVC)
as taught in the previous instruction sheets.
Procedure
1. Wear appropriate PPE
2. Measure the required length of flexible nonmetallic conduit from the
outdoor unit to the indoor unit. You may use any measuring device
suited for the job or you may use the actual material by practically
tracing its path as shown in the picture.
46

8. Pull the guide wires at the other end of the tubing. The tubing
should be laid straight forward for easy pulling of conductors.
48
11. Just simply lay the electrical tubing on the path where the
refrigeration system tubing is installed.
12. Secure the flexible nonmetallic tubing wrapping it with cable tie.
49
50
19. You have just finished the electrical circuit from indoor to outdoor
unit. Now, you are ready for the installation of the main power
supply. The main supply line is usually pre-wired by the
manufacturer, you have to do is to terminate it from the circuit
protection.
21. Test the circuit for ground short or open wiring. If fault is found,
rectify it.

Current moves in utilizing the rare gas as conducting means and the
rare gas produces a glow. The glow generates heat and causes the
bimetallic blade to expand.
When the bimetallic blade is heated, it changes shape and touches the
fixed contact. The close contacts of the two starter contacts produce an easy
path for the current to flow.

many among us learn their history through films, and the vast majority of
early films were made in America by patriotic Americans.
However, none of this should detract from Edison who, working
independently, experimented with thousands of filament materials and
expended tremendous amounts of effort before discovering carbonized
thread. It is also probably fair to say that Edison did produce the first
commercially viable light bulb.
The reason why this is of interest to us here is that Edison's
experiments with light bulbs led him to discover the Edison Effect, which
ultimately led to the invention of the vacuum tube
As one final nugget of trivia, the term "limelight" comes from the
incandescent light produced by a rod of lime bathed in a flame of oxygen
and hydrogen. At the time it was invented, limelight was the brightest
source of artificial light known. One of its first uses was for lighting theater
stages, and actors and actresses were keen to position themselves "in the
limelight" so as to be seen to their best effect.
Furthermore, in 1880, Swan gave the world's first large-scale public
exhibition of electric lamps at Newcastle, England.
Edison's light bulbs employed a conducting filament mounted in a
glass bulb from which the air was evacuated leaving a vacuum. Passing
electricity through the filament caused it to heat up enough to become
incandescent and radiate light, while the vacuum prevented the filament
from oxidizing and burning up.
Operation of incandescent lamp
What makes a light bulb glow?
The thin wire, or filament, inside a light bulb resists the flow of
current through it. When electricity is passed through the bulb, the filament
becomes hot and glows brightly. To prevent the filament burning away
completely, the glass bulb filled with a mixture of inert gas (usually argon
and nitrogen). The filament in most light bulbs is made of tungsten.

LO 1. LAYOUT AND INSTALL ELECTRICAL BOXES ON WOOD, METAL STUDS AND CONCRETE WALLS
Page
INSTALLING WIRING DEVICES FOR FLOOR AND GROUND FAULT CURRENT INTERRUPTING OUTLETS
Boxes should be installed so that the outside edges are flushed with the
finishing material. Presumably, you know what materials you will be using, but
make sure that you know the thickness of any paneling, wallboard, or
combinations. (For 3/8-inch drywall plus -inch paneling, for example the box
should stick out 5/8-inch from the front of the framing.) The code allows boxes
to be as deep as inch behind the surface of noncombustible materials, such
as gypsum wallboard, brick, or concrete block. This may cause a problem;
however lining up the receptacle and cover plate, so have the outside edges
flush with the finishing material in all cases.
Mounting Boxes
There are a great many different types of electrical boxes, but basically there
are only two ways of attaching them to walls and ceilings. The easiest method,
used almost universally in new construction is to nail the box directly to the
framing of the new work before any finishing materials are attached to walls or
ceilings.
The most convenient boxes are equipped with mounting brackets welded to
the box itself. Simply nail through the bracket into the front or sides of the
studs or joist bottoms with 1-inch roofing nails. Other boxes are nailed with 8d
(8-penny) nails into the sides of the studs through projections in the top or
bottom, or through holes predrilled in the boxes themselves. Some boxes,
usually plastic ones, come with nails already attached through in-line
projections.
Occasionally a box must be located away from the framing members. This is
often true of ceiling fixtures, and sometimes wall fixtures, when exact placement
is more desirable than it is for a switch or outlet. In new work, use wood cleats,
metal mounting straps, or adjustable bar hangers, which are nailed into the
studs or joists on each end. The box can then be slid and locked in place at the
optimum location.
Old Work
When you are working with existing walls or ceiling, box mounting, like
everything else in old work, is a little more difficult. When the proper location of
the box is determined, a hole is cut into the wallboard or paneling to accept the
new box. Make a paper or cardboard template of the box by laying it face down
and tracing around it. (Some box manufacturers supply a template with the
box). Trace around the template onto the wall to mark the rough opening. If
only one or two boxes are involved, it may be simply just to hold the box itself to
the wall and trace around it.
If the walls consist of gypsum wallboard or paneling, drill holes about inch
in diameter at the corners of the box opening and cut out the opening with a
LO 1. LAYOUT AND INSTALL ELECTRICAL BOXES ON WOOD, METAL STUDS AND CONCRETE WALLS
Page
INSTALLING WIRING DEVICES FOR FLOOR AND GROUND FAULT CURRENT INTERRUPTING OUTLETS
keyhole saw. When the walls are made of real plaster, chisel away some of the
plaster near the center of the box first . If there is metal or gypsum lath behind
the plaster, proceed as above for regular walls, but use a fine-toothed blade,
such as a hacksaw blade, to avoid damaging the plaster. In homes built prior to
World War II, you will probably find the wooden lath behind the plaster. If so,
chip away a little more until you expose a couple of pieces of wood lath. Then
adjust the box location, if necessary, so that the top and bottom, of the boxes
will fall in the middle of the lath strips. The lath strips are about 1 inches
wide. Cut out the opening as above with a fine-toothed blade. Then chip away
about 3/8 inch more plaster above and below the opening to allow direct
mounting of the box to the wooden lath with No. 5 wood screws.
Special Mounting Devices
For all other walls, special mounting devices will be needed. There are
several types, many of which are attached to the boxes themselves. Some have
clamp like devices that hug the back of the wallboard when the attached screws
are turned. Boxes without mounting devices can be attached to wallboards or
thin paneling with Madison clips, which are slipped between the box and wall
on both sides, then bent back over the insides of the boxes. (The longer length
at top and bottom keeps the clips from falling out.) On thick paneling, boxes
can be screwed directly to the wood.
Ceiling boxes in old work should be mounted from above where possible, as
in an attic, using adjustable bar hangers.
Installing wiring in wood framing
Receptacle and ceiling box installation. Choose boxes that are easy to
install so that they will be flush with the finished wall surface. The most
common type of boxes used in residential occupancies are the non-metallic prenailed Nail-on type. Position the switch and receptacle boxes at uniform
heights.
Drilling holes in the studs. Drill holes at the center of the studs, so that the
edges are not less than one and one-fourth (1+1/4) inches from the edge. If the
hole is closer to the edge of the stud or if you have to make a notch instead of a
hole (where wiring must go through corner framing, for example), then the NM
cable must be protected from nails by installing a protective metal plate.

This section has been revised to require to include some important concepts
in the installation of wiring devices. GFCI protection for receptacles installed
within 6 feet of laundry sinks, wet bar sinks and utility sinks in dwelling units.
This requirement previously applied only to receptacles installed in countertop
surfaces within 6 feet of wet bar sinks.
SECTION
Revising is made to stress the text to require all 15 and 20A, 125V
receptacles within 6 ft of the dwelling unit laundry or utility sink have to
be GFCI protected. This is because irons, hair dryers and similar items
with ungrounded polarized and non polarized cord caps are commonly
used in this area and present the same shock hazard found in other areas
where the NEC currently requires GFCI protection.
The GFCI protection requirement for commercial kitchens was clarified by
adding a definition of a kitchen. New requirement expands the GFCI
protection requirements for 15 or 20A, 125V receptacles to include
receptacles located outdoors that are accessible to the public. And new
requirement expands the GFCI protection requirements for the required
15 or 20A, 125V receptacle for heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration
equipment [210.63].
Since that there have been at least three electrocutions reported over a
three-year period from boat hoists, a new subsection was added. The rule
specifies that GFCI protection is required for "outlets" that supply boat
hoists, not just "receptacle outlet." This will ensure GFCI protection
regardless of whether the unit's cord- and plug-connected or hard-wired.

may be required to start the motor. In this case, the fuse is considered to be
the motor branch-circuit short-circuit protection. (Non-time delay fuse will
hold five times its rating for1/4 to 2 seconds; not ideal to loads which
requires more than 2 seconds to accelerate)
Characteristics of the Overload Currents:
18
Class K
Class K fuses have grouped into three categories: K1, K5, and K9, A
through D. These fuses may be UL listed with interrupting ratings in RMS
symmetrical amperes in values of 50,000, 100,000, or 200,000 amperes.
For each K rating UL has assigned a maximum level of peak let-through
current (Ip) and energy as given by I2t.
Class K fuses have varying degrees of current-limiting ability,
depending upon the K rating. Class K1 fuses have the greatest currentlimiting ability and Class K9 fuses the least current-limiting ability. Checks
of various fuse manufacturers literatures reveal that Class K9 fuses are no
longer being manufactured.
Class K fuses may be classified as time delay fuses as well. In this
case, UL requires that the fuses have a minimum time of delay of 10
seconds at 500% of the rated current. Class K fuses are available in ratings
ranging from 1/10 ampere to 600 amperes at 250- or 600-volts AC. Class K
fuses has the same dimensions as Class H fuses.
19
Class J
Class J fuses are current limiting and marked as A and B. They are
listed by UL with an interrupting rating of 200,000 RMS symmetrical
amperes. Some have especial listing identified by the letters SP, and have
an interrupting rating of 300,000 RMS symmetrical amperes. Certain Class
J fuses are also considered to be dual-element, time delay, and are marked
time-delay. Class J fuses are physically smaller than Class H fuses.
Therefore, when a fuse holder is installed to accept a Class J fuse, it will be
impossible to install a Class H fuse in the fuse holder. The Underwriters
Laboratories has assigned maximum values of I2t and Ip that are slightly
less than those for Class K1 fuses. Both fastacting, current-limiting Class J
fuses are available in ratings ranging from 1ampere to 600 volts AC.
20
Class L
Class L fuses A, B, and C, are listed by UL in sizes ranging from 601
amperes to 6000 amperes at 600 volts ac. These fuses have specified
maximum values of I2t and Ip. They are current-limiting fuses and have an
interrupting rating of 200,000 RMS symmetrical amperes. These bolt-type
fuses are used in bolted pressure contact switches. Class L fuses are
available in fast acting, current-limiting time and a time-delay, currentlimiting type. Both types of Class L meet UL requirements. Some Class L
fuses have a special interrupting rating of 300,000 symmetrical amperes.
The fuses label will indicate the part number followed by the letters SP.
21
22
Fig. 7 Class L fuses. All Class L fuses are rated 600 volts. Listed is 601 to 6000
ampere rating. The smallest switch for Class L fuses is 800 amperes. Class L
fuses that have fuse elements rated at 600 amperes and less are available.
These special ampere-rated fuses are physically the same size as the 800
ampere size
Class T
Class T fuses are current-limiting fuses. These fuses are UL listed with
an interrupting capacity of 200,000 RMS symmetrical amperes. Class T
fuses are physically smaller than Class H or Class J fuses.
The
configuration of this type of fuse limits its use to fuse holders and switches
that will reject all other types of fuses.
Class T fuses rated 600 volts have electrical characteristics similar to
those of Class J fuses and are tested in similar manner by Underwriters
Laboratories. Class T fuses rated at 300 volts have lower peak let-through
currents and I2t values than comparable Class J fuses. Many series rated
panel boards are listed by Underwriters Laboratories with Class T mains.
Because Class T fuses do not have lot of time delay, they are sized according
to the non-time delay fuse.
UL presently lists the 600-volts Class T fuses in sizes from 1ampere to
800 amperes. UL lists the 300-volts Class T fuses in sizes from 1 ampere to
1,200 amperes. Common applications for Class T fuses for mains, feeders
and branch circuits.
Class t 300-volt fuses may be used on 120/240-volt single-phase,
208/120-volt three-phase four-wire wye, and 240-volt three phase three
wire delta systems. The NEC permits 300-volts Class T fuses to be installed
in single-phase line-to-neutral circuits supplied from three-phase four-wire
solidly grounded neutral systems where the line-to neutral voltage does not
exceed 300 volts. The NEC does not permit the use of 300-volt Class T fuses
for line-to-line or line-to-line-to-line applications on 480/277-volt threephase four wire wye, 480-volt three-phase three-wire, and any of the
systems where Class T 300-volt fuses are permitted.
23
Class G
Class G fuses are cartridge fuses with small physical dimensions.
They are used in circuits of 300-volts or less to the ground. Class G fuses
are available in sizes ranging from 0 ampere to 60 amperes and are UL listed
at an interrupting capacity of 100,000 RMS symmetrical amperes. To
prevent overfusing, Class G fuses are size limiting within the four categories
assigned to their ampere ratings. Therefore, a fuse holder designed to
accept a 15-ampere Type SC will not accept a 20-ampere Type SC fuse; and
a fuse holder designed to accept 20-ampere Type SC fuse will no accept a
30-ampere Type SC fuse; and so on for the four categories.
Class G fuses are current limiting. They may be used for the
protection of ballasts, electric heat, and similar loads. They are UL listed for
branch circuit protection.
Class R
Class R fuse is another recent development in the UL standards listing
of fuses. This fuse is nonrenewable cartridge type and has an interrupting
rating of 200,000 RMS symmetrical amperes. The peak let-through current
(Ip) and the total clearing energy (It) values are specified for the individual
case sizes. The values of I2t and Ip are specified by UL based on shortcircuit tests at 50,000, 100,000, and 200,000 amperes.
Class R fuses are divided into two subclasses: Class RK1 and
ClassRK5. The Class RK1 Fuse has characteristics similar to those of the
Class K5 fuse. These fuses must be marked either Class RK1 or RK5. In
addition, they are marked to be current-limiting.
Some Class RK1 fuses have a special interrupting rating of 300,000
RMS symmetrical amperes. The fuses label will indicate the part number
followed by the letters SP.
The ferrule-type Class R fuse has a rating range of 1/10 ampere to 60
amperes and can be distinguished by the annular ring on one end of the
case. The knife-blade type Class R fuse has a rating range of 61amperes to
600 amperes and has a slot in the blade on one end. When a fuse holder is
designed to accept a Class R fuse, it will be impossible to install standard
Class H or Class K fuse. The requirements for non interchangeable
cartridge fuses and fuse holders are covered in NEC. However, the Class R
fuse can be installed in older style fuse clips on existing installations. As a
result, the Class R may be called a one-way rejection fuse.
Electrical equipment manufacturers will provide the necessary
rejection-type fuse holders in their equipment, which then tested with a
Class R fuse at short- circuit current values such as 50,000, 100,000, or
200,000 amperes. Each piece of equipment will be marked accordingly.
25
Class CC
Class CC fuses are primarily used for control circuit protection of
motor control circuits, ballasts, small transformers, and so on. They are UL
listed as branch circuit fuses. Class CC fuses are rated at 600-volts or less
and have 200,000-ampere interrupting rating in sizes from 1/10 ampere
through 30 amperes. These fuses measure 11/2 x 13/32 and can be
recognized by a button on one end of the fuse. This button is unique to
Class CC fuses. When a fuseblock or fuseholder that has the matching
Class CC rejection feature is installed, it is impossible to insert any other 1
x 13/32 fuses. Only a class fuse will fit into these special fuseblocks
and fuseholders. A Class CC fuse can be installed in a standard fuseholder.

Note: NEMA 3R safety switch enclosures may be easily identified by
the presence of a hub plate on the top of the safety switch.
29
Testing Fuses
As mentioned at the beginning of this module, the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA) clearly states that electrical equipment must not be
worked on when it is energized. There have been too many injuries to those
intentionally working on the equipment hot or thinking the power is off,
only to find out that it is still energized. If the equipment is to be worked on
hot then proper training and protective gear (rubber blankets, insulated
tools, goggles, rubber gloves, etc.) need to be used. A second person should
be present when working electrical equipment hot OSHA has specific lockout and tag-out rules for working on energized electrical equipment.
When power is turned on. On live circuits, extreme caution must
be exercised when checking fuses.
There are many different voltage
readings that can be taken, such as line-to-line, line-to-ground, line-toneutral, etc.
Using a voltmeter, the first step is to make sure that the scale is set
highest voltage settings, then change to a lower scale after assuring that it is
within the range of the voltmeter. For example, when testing what you
believe to be a 120V circuit, it is wise to first use the 600V scale, then try
the 300V scale, and then use the 150V scale, just to be sure.
Taking a voltage reading across the bottom (load side) of fuses either
fuse-to-fuse, fuse-to-neutral, or fuse-to-ground can show voltage reading
because even though a fuse is open, there can be feed back through the
load. You might come to a wrong conclusion. Taking a voltage reading from
the line side of the fuse to the load side of a fuse will show open-circuit
30
voltage which way cause the fuse to blow while load is still connected. This
may also be the result of a wrong conclusion.
Reading from line-to load side of a good fuse shows zero voltage or else
an extremely small voltage across the fuse.
Always read carefully the instructions furnished with electrical test
equipment such as voltmeters, ohmmeters, etc.
When the power is turned off. This is the safest way to test fuses.
Remove the fuse from the switch, and then take a resistance reading across
the fuse using an ohmmeter. A good fuse will show zero to very minimal
resistance. An open (blown) fuse will generally show a very high resistance
reading.
Advantages of Fuse over a circuit breaker:
1. It is reliable (It can stay in position for a long period and can act when
needed.)
2. The cost is cheaper
3. It does not require periodic maintenance

Circuiting guidelines
There are many ways of doing the circuitry but there is no optimum or
perfect way of doing it. There are certain guidelines promulgated by the
National Electrical Code (NEC) for flexible, economical and convenient
layout. They are as follows:
1. The code requires sufficient circuitry to supply residential load of 30
watts per square meter in buildings excluding porches, garages and
basements.
2. The requirements of 30 watts per square meter works out to 80 sq. m.
per 20 amps. Circuit (2,400w) or 60 sq. m. for 15 amps. Circuit
(1,800w).
3. Good practice suggests that a load should not exceed 1,600 watts for
a 20 amp. Circuit or 1,200 watts for 15 amp. Circuit, thus,
a. For a 15 amp. Circuit, -1,200w max. Load 40 sq. m. maximum
area.
b. For a 20 amp. Circuit, -1,600 w. max. Load 53 sq. m.
maximum area.
4. The NEC requires a minimum of 20 amp. Appliance circuit to feed all
small appliance outlets in the kitchen, pantry, dining and family
room.

12. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that at least one 20
amp. Circuit supplies the laundry outlets.
13. If air conditioner is anticipated, provide a separate circuit for this
appliance.

The name of the circuit breaker is taken from the medium or manner
of extinguishing the arc produced when the circuit breakers contacts
opened.
1. Air blast type circuit breaker uses dry and compressed air in
extinguishing the arc.

Connect one piece of bare ground wire to the ground bar, allowing
other end to hang from bottom of panel. (Note: under actual
installation, the lower end of the ground wire would terminate at
the grounding electrode.)
5.
6.
Install one piece of wire through the connector to the neutral bar
connector; arrange the wire neatly to lay back corner of the panel;
then insert wire in neutral bar terminal and tighten snugly. (Note:
the neutral conductor should lay in the back corner of the panel to
leave adequate room for the other wires and breakers. It should also
be identified by white or gray tape.)
7.
Install the remaining two wires through the connector, and insert
wires in the main breaker connectors.
8.
Plug the breakers into the panel bus, plug breakers on both right
and left side, start at the top specifications. The main breaker
should be placed on the upper most left side of the panel board.
(Note: arrange wire neatly, allowing room for the branch-circuit
conductors.)
9.
Install wiring. (Note: extend all wires into the panel far enough to
reach the neutral or ground bar, especially the green wire after
arranging it in the back corner of panel down to the bar.)
10. Tag or mark by numbers each group of wires that goes to a specific
breaker.
11. Fold back out of the way all branch circuit wires inside the panel to
provide clear working space inside panel.
12. Trim out panel board.
a. Work in with the green wires one at a time, arranging them
against back of panel in corners and making right angle bends
to the ground bar terminals.
55
b. Cut strip and insert wires into terminals then tighten snugly.
(Note: This method places this group of wires at the back of the
panel, out of the way of neutral and circuit wires. Also, it gives
the technician an organized procedure for doing the work
neatly.)
c. Work on with the white neutral wires one at a time, laying the
wires near the green wires in the back spaces and corners of the
panel and making bends to the neutral or ground bar.
d. Cut, strips, and insert wires into terminals, then tighten snugly.
e. Work on with the colored circuit wires.
Note: This procedure makes it easy for you to trace wires, there are
enough wire lengths to pull out and check loads with a clamp-on
ammeter, and produces a neat, professional-looking good.
13. Carefully dismantle the assembly and store parts in proper places.
14. Clean work area, and return equipment, tools and materials to
proper storage.
