Brief Introduction

Right forms for the right job in electrical works are necessary to lessen the
mistake and be more accurate in the materials, supplies and tools needed for a specific
job.

Wiretaps, Splices, and joints are used to prolong or connect the wires for a
specific job

Topic: Types of Forms in Electrical Works
Objectives:
1. identify different types of forms used in electrical installation and maintenance
as per job requirements;
2. list and request appropriate tools, supplies and materials as per job
requirements; and
3. know the worth of using electrical form for the right job and right time.

Learning Content:

DIFFERENT TYPES OF FORMS

Correctness of the entry of different forms used in electrical work is necessary

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 slip is a document generated by user department or storeroom

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.

7
2. Inventory form are raw materials, work-in-process goods and finished goods that
are the portion of a business and 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 and
shareholders/owners.

3. Job order or Work Order form is a written instruction to perform a work according to
specified requirements, within specified timeframe and cost estimates.

Source: https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/work-order-form.html

4. Borrower’s form is a form used to request for tools and equipment needed for a 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.

 Remember

• Using the right form for the right job at the right time make your works easy to
acquire electrical wiring materials, supplies and tool. And accomplish your work
without mistakes.

Checking Your Understanding

Direction: Make a minimum of 1-minute video (role playing) about how to make and
use different types of forms. Note you can seek help to your family member to make
a better scenario. (act as a tool keeper and borrower) Save your recorded video in any
storage devices.

Topic: Wiretaps, Splices and Joints

Objectives:
1. distinguish the different wiretaps, splices and joints;
2. perform the different wiretaps, splices, and joints; and
3. give significance of following safety precautions while working.

Learning Content:

COMMON WIRE SPLICES AND JOINTS

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.

Rat Tail or Pig Tail Joint- This kind of joint is commonly used to join two or more
conductors inside the junction box. It is suitable for service where there is no
mechanical stress when wires are to be connected in an outlet box, switch, or conduit
fitting.

Y-splice- This method of wrapping is generally used on small cables because the
strands are flexible, and all can be wrapped in one operation.

13
Knotted tap- This is used where the tap wire is under heavy tensile stress.

Plain tap joint- This is used where the tap wire is under considerable tensile stress
circuit.

Aerial tap- This is used as a temporary tap usually done in constructions sites. The
easy twist will facilitate tap wire movement.

Duplex cross joint- This is a two-tap wire turned simultaneously and is used where
the two tap wire is under heavy tensile stress.

14
Western Union Short-tie Splice- This is the most widely used splice or joint in interior
wiring installation to extend the length of wire from one point to another.

Western Union Long Tie- This is used extensively for outside wiring to extend the
length of wire from one end to another.

Cross joint- The same application is done as in plain tap and the only difference is
that this tap is a combination of two plain taps place side by side with each other.

Wrapped Tap or Tee Joint- This is used on large solid conductors where it is difficult
to wrap the heavy tap wire around the main wire.

15
Terminating fixture joint- is used when a fixture wire usually #18 is to be connected
to a terminating branch wire.

Through end fixture joint- is used when joining a fixture wire to a branch wire where
the sizes of which are not the same.

Octopus joint- it is used when ends of three wires inside utility or junction boxes

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND GUIDELINES:

1. Do not clown around or engage in horseplay.
2. Report all injuries at once.
3. Keep the floors around your work area clean.
5. Use appropriate tools correctly.
6. Wear all the PPE needed in this job.
