 GENERATORS

 for generating electric current

• Alternating Current Generators or

Alternators – The bulk of electrical energy
utilized today is in the form of alternating
current, including energy for power and
lighting.

• Direct Current Generators – These

furnish electrical energy for elevators,
escalators, intercommunicating telephone
systems, control of signal systems, and
clock systems.

electrical energy to mechanical
energy.
TRANSFORMERS – for
converting one voltage to
another, from lower to higher
or from higher to lower
ROTARY CONVERTERS –
for changing alternating
current to direct current and
vice versa.
 1.4 TYPES OF CURRENT

ALTERNATING CURRENT – a DIRECT CURRENT – a current

current which is periodically which flows at a constant time rate
varying in time rate and in and in the same direction.
direction. It rises from zero to
maximum, falls to zero, reverses
its direction and again returns to
zero.
 1.5 UNITS OF ELECTRICITY
UNIT OF QUANTITY
COULOMB – a coulomb of electricity
comprises approximately 6.25 x 10 18
electrons.
AMPERE – An ampere of current
represents a rate of flow of one
coulomb or 6.25 x 10 18
electrons/second through a given
cross section.

UNIT OF ELECTRIC POTENTIAL

VOLT – is the electromotive force

or potential difference between two
points in an electric field which will
move a charge of one coulomb
between these points.
 UNIT OF RESISTANCE

OHM – The resistance which will

allow one ampere of current to flow
when one volt is impressed upon it.

UNIT OF ELECTRIC POWER

WATT – the unit of electric

power or the rate of doing
electrical work.

UNIT OF ENERGY

WATT-HOURS – the unit of

I (amp) = V (Volts) / R (Ohms)

The current, I, that will flow in a

d-c circuit is directly proportional to
the voltage ,V, and inversely
proportional to the resistance , R,
of the circuit.

2.1 BRANCH CIRCUITS

An electrical circuit may be defined as a
complete conducting path carrying current
from a source of electricity to and through
some electrical device or load and back to the
source. The two wire circuit, which is the
most elementary of all wiring systems,
consists of a live wire carrying the current to
the various power consuming devices in the
circuit and a neutral or grounded wire which
is the return wire carrying the circuit back to
the source of supply.

SERIES CIRCUIT

PARALLEL CIRCUIT

that the current divides between them.

4. WIRING SYSTEMS

4.1 WIRING METHODS

KNOB AND TUBE WIRING – an
obsolete wiring system consisting of
single insulated conductors secured to
and supported on porcelain knobs and
tubes. When wires run through walls,
they are inserted into a nonmetallic fire-
resistant tubing called a loom.
RIGID METAL CONDUIT WIRING –
is the best and most expensive among
the usual type of wiring. Its advantages
are:
1. it is fireproof;
2. moisture proof;
3. it is mechanically strong so that nails
cannot be driven through it and it is not
readily deformed by blows;
4. it resists the normal action of cement
when embedded in concrete or masonry.
FLEXIBLE METAL CONDUIT
WIRING – Its installation is much
easier and quicker than that of rigid
metal conduits. Unlike the rigid conduits
which come in short lengths of 10 ft. (3
M), flexible metal conduit wiring comes
in length of 25 ft – 250 ft (8 M – 83 M)
depending on the size of the conduit.
ARMORED CABLE WIRING (BX
WIRING) – consists of rubber or
thermoplastic covered wire protected
from injury to a certain extent from
dampness by one or two layers of flexible
steel armor.
SURFACE METAL RACEWAY
WIRING – the wires are supported on a
thin sheet steel casing. The raceway is
installed exposed, being mounted on the
walls or ceiling. Metal raceways must be
continuous from outlet to outlet or
junction box, designed especially for use
with metal raceways.
FLAT CABLE ASSEMBLIES – a field
installed rigidly mounted square
structural channel (1 – 5/8” standard)
designed to carry 2 to 4 conductors (No.
10 AWG) and will act as light duty
(branch circuit) plug-in busways.

LIGHTING TRACK – a factory-

assembled channel with conductors for
one to four circuits permanently
installed in the track that will act as
light duty (branch circuit) plug-in
busways.

CABLE TRAY / OPEN RACEWAY

– is a continuous open support for
approved cables. When used as a
general wiring system, the cables
must be self-protected, jacketed
types, type TC.
 FLOOR RACEWAYS – The NEC
recognizes three types of floor
raceways:

1. Underfloor Ducts (UF) installed beneath

or flush with the floor. These underfloor
ducts usually requires a triple duct
system for power, telephone and
signal cabling.

2. Cellular Metal Floor Raceway – Found

usually in office landscaping, it is an
integrated structural/electrical system
in a cellular metal floor.

3. Precast Cellular Concrete – made of

concrete cells fed from header ducts,
which are normally installed in concrete
fill above the hollow core structural slab
or fed from the ceiling void below. The
cells can be used for air distribution and
for piping.
CEILING RACEWAY SYSTEMS –
under-the-ceiling raceways composed of
header ducts and distribution ducts
separate for power and telephone cabling.
They permit very rapid changes in layouts
at low cost and are therefore particularly
desirable in stores where frequent display
transformations necessitate corresponding
electrical facility adjustments.

PRE-WIRED CEILING DISTRIBUTION

SYSTEMS – are ceiling raceways that are
pre-wired in the factory and plugged in
where required.
