LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Uses of Different Protective Devices
Background Information for Learners
A device used to protect equipment, machinery, components and devices, in
electrical circuits, against short circuit, over current and earth fault, is called as
protective devices.
Protective devices are necessary to protect electrical appliance or equipment
against:
a. Short Circuit
b. Abnormal variations in the supply voltage
c. Overloading of equipment
d. To protect the operator against accidental contact with the faulty equipment,
falling which the operator may get severe shock.
e.
TYPES OF ELECTRICAL PROTECTIVE SYSTEM
A. Panel board
A distribution board (or panel board) is a component of an electricity supply
system which divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits, while providing
a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit, in a common enclosure.
Normally, a main switch, and in recent boards, one or more Residual-current
devices (RCD) or Residual Current Breakers with Overcurrent protection (RCBO),
will also be incorporated.
Breakers are usually arranged in two columns. In a US-style board, breaker positions
are numbered left-to-right, along each row from top to bottom. This numbering
system is universal across various competing manufacturers of breaker panels.

17 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

 Common Panel Bus Configuration:
a. Typical Residential Panel Board (1 Phase)

b. Typical Commercial/Industrial Panel Board (1 Phase)

B. Circuit breaker
Circuit Breaker is an automatically-operated electrical switch designed to
protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Unlike a
fuse, which operates once and then has to be replaced, a circuit breaker can be
reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation. Circuit breakers
are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect an individual household
appliance up to large switchgear designed to protect high voltage circuits feeding an
entire city.

18 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

Types of Circuit breakers and their operating principle
a. Electromagnetic trip
As the current flows through the breaker, it creates a magnetic
field within the coil. During sustained overload conditions, the
magnetic field interferes and draws the core into the coil.
The metal trip bar is attracted to the core forcing the latch to
move, thus opening the contacts.

b. Thermal trip
If current flow exceeds the rated limit of the breaker, the
bimetallic strip heats and bends.

As the strip bends, the latching mechanism is tripped and the

contacts open.

Principles Applied in Installing Panel Board

1. The approach shall be accessible and more convenient.

called the Load Side.
C. Safety Switch
A safety switch is a common type of enclosed switch. Safety switches are
generally used for two purposes:
1) As a disconnecting means for a service entrance
2) As a disconnecting means for motors In either case, a safety switch may
incorporate provisions for a fuse for overcurrent protection.
The safety switch enclosure provides a degree of protection to personnel against
incidental contact with live electrical equipment. It also provides protection for the
enclosed equipment against specific environmental conditions.

Two Types Safety Switches:

● General duty

● Heavy duty.

Types of Safety Switch Enclosures

a. NEMA 1 (indoor)
Note: NEMA 1 safety switch enclosures may be easily identified because of
the presence of concentric knockouts on the top of the enclosures.

*NEMA-National Electrical Manufacturers Association

b. NEMA 3R (rainproof)

20 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

 Note: NEMA 3R safety switch enclosures may be easily identified by the
presence of a hub plate on the top of the safety switch.

c. NEMA 4X (watertight, corrosion resistant)

Note: NEMA 4X enclosures are generally constructed of stainless steel.

Inside the Safety Switch there is a fuse which we called it as a battery. Fuse
is a device used to protect the circuit from overcurrent.
The working principle of the fuse is “heating consequence of the current”. It is
fabricated with a lean strip or thread of metallic wire. The connection of the Fuse in
an electrical circuit is always in series.
When too much current is produced due to the
heavy flow of current in the electrical circuit, the fuse
gets softened and it opens the circuit. The extreme flow
of current may direct to the collapse of the wire and
prevent the supply. The device should be replaced when
trips occur on the circuit unlike breakers that it can be
reset.
.

D. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

21 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

 GFCI can help prevent electrocution. If a person’s body starts to receive a
shock, the GFCI senses this and cuts off the power before he/she can get injured.

GFCIs are generally installed where electrical circuits may accidentally come
into contact with water. They are most often found in kitchens, bath and laundry
rooms, or even out-of-doors like swimming pools or in the garage where electric
power tools might be used.

The GFCI will “sense” the difference in the amount of electricity flowing into
the circuit to that flowing out, even in amounts of current as small as 4 or 5
milliamps. The GFCI reacts quickly (less than one-tenth of a second) to trip or shut
off the circuit.

E. Conventional Atmospheric Lightning Protection and Grounding System

Protection against effects of lightning
The principle consists in creating one or more preferred impact points for a
lightning strike using low impedance, conductor elements. These then conduct and
dissipate the lightning current into the ground. This coherent system enables the
lightning to be captured and dissipated whilst providing protection to the structure.

Different Types of Atmospheric Lightning Protection System and

Grounding System
Air-Termination Lightning Protection System Rod
Benjamin Franklin invented the Lightning Rod in 1753. This
lightning conductor is made up of a 2 to 8 m high tapered metal
rod that dominates the structure to be protected and which is
connected to a minimum two down conductors and two earthing
systems.
As the protection radius of this type of Air-Termination Rod is
limited to around 30 meters environ (Lightning Protection Level =
IV, height = 60 meters), it is normally only used to protect small
structures or zones such as pylons, chimneys, tanks, water
towers, aerial masts, etc..

1. Meshed Conductors

22 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

 This lightning protection, derived from the Faraday cage, consists of
meshed conductors that cover the roof and walls of the structure to be protected.

Air terminals are

positioned around the edge of
the roof and on high points. A
network of conductors follows
the external perimeter of the
roof. This network is completed
with transverse elements. The
mesh size is between 5 and 20
meters according to the
effectiveness required.

The top of the down conductors fitted to the walls are connected to the
roof mesh, and the bottom to dedicated earthing systems. The distance between
two down conductors is between 10 and 20 meters according to lightning
protection level required.

The largest part of lightning current is conducted and dissipated through

the conductors and earthing systems closest to the point of impact of the lightning
strike.

2. Catenary wires
3.
This lightning protection system, using a
similar principle to that of the mesh cage, consists
of a mesh of conductors, but at a distance from
the structure to be protected. The aim is to avoid
the lightning current coming directly into contact
with the structure.

Catenary wire conductors placed above the

structure to be protected are connected to down
conductors and dedicated earthing systems. The size
of the mesh and the distance between down
conductors are subjected to the same rules as for the
meshed conductors lightning protection system.
This protection requires that additional mechanical
studies (resistance of materials for masts, qualifying
ground pressure, resistance to wind and weather condition, etc.) be carried out and
insulation distances defined.

4. Protection by natural components

23 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

 Components that have a
lightning protection function but
that were not installed for this
purpose.
Comment: these are conducting
parts of a structure or building that
is able to participate in the external
protection through their capacity to
capture a lightning strike or to
conduct lightning current. They can
be used to replace all or part of a
down conductor or in addition to an
external installation.

These components may be made up of:

● The frame of metal constructions;

● Metal coatings of walls or metal cladding
● Sheet metal covering the volume to be protected, provided there is no risk of
them being perforated by an impact
● Metal components of a roof structure (interconnected steel frames, etc.), even if
covered with non-metallic materials, provided that these may be excluded from
the volume to be protected
● Metal rods in reinforced concrete, provided that there is electrical
interconnection between them, and particularly with the capture means and
earthing system
● Metal parts such as gutters, decoration, guardrails, etc, provided that their
cross-section is not less than that specified for normal components
● Metal pipes and tanks, provided they are at least 2.5 mm thick and if
perforated, do not cause a dangerous or unacceptable situation
● These elements must comply with thickness, cross-section and continuity
requirements, thus making their use a difficult matter.

5. Early Streamer Emission Air Terminals

The principle of an early streamer emission
lightning conductor is to artificially generate,
with the aid of an ionization device, an early
upward leader occurring before the other
«natural» upward leaders, in order to
establish a privileged impact point of the
lightning strike.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Types of Lighting Fixtures and Installation Techniques

Background Information for Learners

A light fixture, light fitting, or luminaire is an electrical device that contains

an electric lamp that provides illumination. All light fixtures have a fixture
body and one or more lamps. The lamps may be in sockets for easy
replacement—or, in the case of some LED fixtures, hard-wired in place.

What are the different types of lighting? What is task lighting? How to create
accent lighting? What else is available besides ambient lighting? With so many
different types of lighting available, it can get a little confusing when designing a
lighting scheme for your home or office. Our guide explains the different types of
lighting - ambient (or general), task and accent, how to use them effectively, and
which light fixtures to use create your desired lighting.
 Ambient or General Lighting
 Task Lighting
 Accent Lighting
WHAT IS AMBIENT LIGHTING?
This is one of the most common types of lighting. Ambient light is a soft glow that
blankets your space just enough for you to function without causing a harsh glare. In
photography and cinematography, ambient light is considered the "natural light"
within a room. In décor, ambient light is very similar, except you create the ambient
light by making the room's lighting as natural and flat as possible. While ambient light
is meant to get you safely from point A-to-B, it is not ideal for working closely with
things or to highlight things around your space.
How to Light a Room with General Lighting?
When used correctly, ambient light creates a fantastic environment to relax from an
overly stressful day or to have a warm conversation with an old friend. Ambient
lighting is often referred to as mood lighting, because this light captures the soft
curves of your face and allows your pupils to dilate slightly (a physical sign of
affection). Some yoga studios have even begun using the softer ambient lighting in
their classes to help draw stress from the body.

54 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

We recommend using the following lights to create ambient light.
 Chandeliers
 Pendants
 Recessed
 Track
 Ceiling
WHAT IS TASK LIGHTING?
This is a smaller more concentrated light. You want task lighting around when you’re
working. In fact, some people call it office lighting. Task lighting is meant to help you
see when you’re doing projects in which you need a finer light, such as, reading,
cooking, writing, sewing and many other things. Task lighting only works well when it
is used as a contrasting light. For example, if you have a low lit room with a swing
arm lamp turned on over your desk, the light over the desk surface will be more
effective with less glare or shadow-effect than if the entire room was lit with a
brighter light.
How to Use Task Lighting?
Task lighting helps naturally stimulate your brain. The contrasting light allows you to
be more alert and concentrated. This will help you see more details as you work,
creating higher quality results. This is why many businesses choose to use task
lighting in their offices.
We recommend using the following fixtures to create task light.
 Pendants
 Swing Arm Lamps
 Under Cabinet
 Vanity

WHAT IS ACCENT LIGHTING?

This is a very concentrated light with the intention of drawing the eye to its focal
point. Accent lighting is a way of adding style and drama to your home. This will help
you illuminate the pieces you want on display, while shadowing dull areas. People
use accenting for wall washing, artwork, bookcase displays, and pieces of furniture,
collections and the general architecture of their homes. Outdoor accent lighting is
when you highlight parts of the architecture of your home or yard. This is very
popular during the holidays, especially Halloween and Christmas.

55 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

How to Use Accent Lighting?
Accent lighting is one of the types of lighting that creates a very sophisticated
atmosphere. It evokes feelings of meaning and importance to the images it displays.
This lighting type is used a lot for museums, historical buildings and art shows.
We recommend using the following lights to create accent light.
 Wall Lights
 Recessed
 Landscape
 Track
CHANDELIER LIGHTING
These light fixtures work fantastic with taller ceilings. You can choose which
height is best for your lighting needs. Chandeliers are very classic pieces that work
well in foyers, over the tub in the bathroom, or over large dining room tables.

lighting-led-lights-interior-design-hollywood-glam-living-room-ideas-dining-room-decor

CEILING LIGHTING
Flush and semi-flush ceiling lighting are so versatile and discrete they work
almost anywhere. Use these carefully. Ceiling lighting is standard in hallways,
bedrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces, such as, patios and porches. Try to

56 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

incorporate the ceiling mounted fixtures with wall switches into your homes
architecture.

Source: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/nymane-led-ceiling-lamp-anthracite-30415098/

PENDANT LIGHTING
Pendants are great because they can be placed in a lot of areas and can
hang directly above work spaces. Depending on the style and placement of the
pendant, you can use these for ambient, task, or accent lighting. Use a series of
pendants with clear or light colored shades for ambient lighting, two or more
pendants with dark colored shades for task lighting, or one or two pendants over a
side table or other focal point to create accent lighting.

57 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

RECESSED LIGHTING
Recessed lights are installed above a ceiling so that the body of the light—
the mechanism and wiring—is hidden in the ceiling with a flush bulb or lens. Unlike
ceiling-mounted fixtures, which are easily seen, recessed lighting tends to be more
demure because it is level with the ceiling, but it does require about four to eight
inches of space above the ceiling for installation. The lighting they produce can be
used for a range of functions from ambient to accent to task, depending on the
number and type of fixtures.
Not only are can lights used for general room lighting, recessed lighting can
be used for for accent lighting depending on where you place them. Place them in
your ceiling or in your floor close to the wall to create a wall washing affect to
illuminate a beautiful brick texture, a colorful paint design or display a huge bay
window.

58 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

WALL LIGHTING & SCONCES
Wall lights are fantastic for designing accent lighting. They come in a
range of sizes that allow you the highlight big or small pieces of art. These work
great on art walls and for showcasing the architecture of your space.

Wall sconces are some of the most decorative fixtures in the lighting
market because they are frequently installed at eye-level in most rooms. They can
be either uplights or downlights, providing ambient or task lighting, depending on the
fixture, but are rarely powerful enough to provide enough illumination alone to light a
large space. They're often found on either side of a fireplace or bed for additional
illumination, highlighting these visual focal points in a space.

TRACK LIGHTING AND SPOTLIGHTS

Track and spotlights are fixtures that are attached to a track that is
mounted to the ceiling or hung off the ceiling, depending on the fixture. The linear
housing contains several heads that can be moved along the track and reoriented to
focus on different directions. This ability to adjust and reposition the lighting makes

59 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

track lighting ideal for kitchens or gallery spaces where task or accent lighting is
needed, but where the desired focus may change.

DESK AND TABLE LAMPS (SWING ARM LAMPS)

Desk and table lamps are largely used as task lights because they’re
flexible and can be positioned in various locations as needed (like adjacent to a
comfy chair for reading, or atop a desk for work). They typically provide light in a
downward direction, illuminating the surface directly below it rather than providing a
general glow, which prevents them from often being used as ambient lights.
However, like wall sconces, they can be a major design feature in a space because
of they are highly visible.

60 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

COVE LIGHTING
Cove lighting is an elegant type of lighting that is usually mounted to or
incorporated into the upper portion of a wall or ceiling. Usually hidden from direct
view, it provides uplighting along the edges of a room onto the ceiling. Today, most
cove lighting is provided by a thin strip of LEDs along a cove, or niche, that is already
created in the room. It provides diffuse, ambient lighting.

UNDER CABINET LIGHTING

These are the ultimate task lights. Under cabinet lights work great in your
kitchen, like below. They add a flare to your kitchen and give the extra light you need
for chopping and cleaning.

61 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

VANITY LIGHTING
Vanity lighting is standard in bathrooms and on dressing room tables.
Bathroom and mirror lights provide a bright, focused light to ensure your makeup and
hair is done just right.

OUTDOOR LIGHTING
These lights are the best for showing off the outside of your home. It has
become more common in modern society to use Outdoor Lighting around our homes
and businesses to accent architecture, draw attention to a sign, provide security, and
enable people to be more active at night.

FLOODLIGHTS
Lighting fixture that is mostly used for outdoor application to illuminate larger
areas at night. What makes flood lights so popular is the large amount of lighting
they can produce, which is perfect for illuminating large areas like stadiums.

62 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

 Flood light fixtures are pretty different from other types of light. First of all,
flood lights are mostly used outdoors, so they need to be durable and withstand al
sorts of weather conditions
One of the simplest, most effective ways to enhance the safety and security
of your home is to add a motion-sensor floodlight to the garage. The dual-lamp
model installed here comes on automatically if something—or someone—crosses its
field of vision.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Installing Lighting Fixture

Background Information for Learners

Part 1: Planning the Project

1. Check your local wiring codes and schedule inspections. Several

inspections and permits are required for most residential construction
projects, especially when it involves installing or replacing new wires (simply
replacing a fixture usually does not require permits and inspection).[1] To
make sure you're up to code, you may need to schedule the following with
the Housing Administration in your city or country:

 A Temporary Service Inspection

 Rough-in inspection

 Final inspection

 Even if you're not doing it yourself, any electrical work done by a

subcontractor needs to be inspected (usually both rough in and final
inspections); for example, well pumps, or external wood fired
furnaces.

2. Decide what type of fixture will work best in the area you’re trying
to illuminate. You wouldn't want to light up a workshop in the same
way you'd light up a nursery, or a kitchen the same way you'd light
living room. Think about the purpose of the room to determine where
and how you'll light it. Is it a place for sitting and reading quietly? A
sconce or wall-mounted fixture might be most appropriate. Is it in the
kitchen where you need good directed lighting, like over a kitchen
island? In this case, pendant lighting would be ideal to highlight your
cooking prep.[2]

• For most jobs, you'll be working with one of a few different locations
for a new fixture. Typically, you'll install fixtures in the wall, in the
ceiling, or in a pole mount.

• If you're undertaking work that requires close examination, like craft

or sewing, you'll need to consider having both general (LED
can/recessed lighting) and task lighting (pendant fixtures, lamps, etc.);

68 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

 the task lighting focuses directly on your work, while the general good
quality lighting helps dispel shadowing and makes the room
comfortable to be in.[3]

3, Decide what kind of bulb you want for your fixture. Incandescent,
fluorescent, LED, mercury vapor, high pressure sodium and halogen are
among the most common choices, each with its own unique color tone or
range of color tones form which to choose. [4] The tones and varieties of
bulbs are expressed as a temperature, in degrees Kelvin. Warm tones
(yellow -red) have lower temperature (2000°) while cool tones (blue) have
higher temperatures (8300°). For reference purposes, daylight is generally
accepted to be about 5600°.

• If you’re looking for more intimate or relaxing, go for warm white.

Around 2700 degrees would be appropriate for the purpose.[5]

• If you're looking for a work light, cool white or daylight is better.

These bulbs are around 4000 degrees.

• When changing a bulb, you should obtain one with the same
temperature light, otherwise colors in the room will be cooler or warmer
depending on the tone of the light source. This is even more noticeable
if there are two or more adjacent lamps of different temperatures.

4. Determine voltage and current requirements for the fixture. The

fixture must operate on a voltage available at the location. Nearly all
fixtures available at home centers in North America will be the 120-volt
variety or have the ability to choose from two or more voltages by
connecting specific wires and leaving others disconnected.

• Current requirements for 120 volt incandescent fixtures (this

includes tungsten, quartz, halogen) is .83 amps per 100 watts. A 100
watt fixture can usually be added to existing circuits without incident.
Most fixtures will list a wattage or amperage requirement to avoid
overloading the circuit.

5. Locate a suitable power source. Find a nearby outlet or an existing

junction box in the ceiling that's close enough to branch out from.[6] If a
suitable power source isn't easily available, you might have to run a new
branch from the electrical panel.

• It's important to find suitable power sources that are close by. It's
unlikely that you'll be able to use the basement electrical source to feed
a switch on the third floor to operate a fixture that illuminates the front
sidewalk. That's a lot of wiring.

6. Plan the wiring route.[7] There are three possible ways to wire the
circuit for a new installation. Power to switch, power to fixture and installing
the power and load point at same switch. The three points, source, switch
and fixture need to be connected together all with simple two-wire Romex
cable when there is one switch controlling the fixture.

69 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

 • If you're wiring multiple switches to multiple fixtures, it's important to
separate your wring systems to keep them straight. The fixtures need
to be wired to each other with a two-wire cable, and the switches need
to be wired to each other with a three-wire cable.

• The power source can be brought to either of the three-way switch

boxes, or any fixture box with two-wire cable. The cable between the
switch and fixture(s) is also 2 wire type, but must be run from either
three way switch box to the fixture box that has the power source. Do
not deviate from the requirement.

Part 2. Installing the Fixture

1. Cut openings into the ceiling, or wall surfaces for the boxes, for the
switch(es), and for the fixture support by first tracing around the box on the
wall or ceiling surface.[8] Be sure to match the switch box height to those
in the rest of your home.

If a fixture is to be installed in the ceiling, the box should be a 4"

octagon box. It is important to note that even if a small light fixture is
planned to be installed here, consider installing a fan-rated box, as a
paddle fan might be installed here in the future.

If installing recessed light fixtures, no box is installed as a wiring

compartment is provided on the fixture itself. The open to be cut in the
ceiling is provided by the template included with the fixture by most
manufacturers or by tracing around the rough-in housing opening.

2. Install the wiring. Install the Romex or other cable between the power
source and boxes in the voids of the walls, ceilings, and floors with a snake
or fish tape.[9] After determining there is enough ampacity in the circuit to
support the additional load, extend wiring of the same size from the power
source to the switch and fixture locations. If running a new circuit directly
from the electrical panel, the new wire should be sized according to the
fuse or circuit breaker size.

3. Make sure your wiring is up to code. National Electrical Code

Requirements for wiring need to be followed closely when you're installing
a new fixture. When you're selecting wire for the job, make sure it fits the
following constraints:

A wire smaller than #14 copper is not permitted for power wiring.
Smaller wires (#28 through #16) are permitted for low voltage
applications such as thermostats and zone valves in gas & oil fired
heating systems, door bells and buttons, alarm systems, telephones,
networking, etc. These wires never enter electrical panels.

A 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse should have no less than a #14 gauge
copper wire connected. A 15 amp circuit is designed to safely carry up
to 12 amps continuously on a #14 copper wire. Intermittent loads of up
to 15 amps can be carrier for up to several hours.[10] If the load of any

70 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

 device or appliance is greater than 12 amps, a larger size wire and
circuit breaker is required.

A 20 amp circuit breaker or fuse should have no less than a #12 gauge
copper wire connected. A 20 amp circuit is designed to safely carry up
to 16 amps continuously on a #12 copper wire.[11] Intermittent loads of
up to 20 amps can be carrier for up to several hours. If the load of any
device or appliance is greater than 16 amps, a larger wire and circuit
breaker is required.

4. Connect the devices as shown in the diagram that matches your

application. If you'd prefer to follow detailed instructions to wire the fixture
to just two 3-way switches, please see the 3-way switch wiki.

GETTING STARTED

Here are a couple of things you should know about electricity and residential
wiring before you get started.
– All electric power is fed through the meter to your breaker panel. If you shut
something off at the panel there is no power to the wires or boxes in the house.
– Shutting something off at the switch does not necessarily mean that there is no
power to the wires in the electrical box.
– When looking at wires, black or red is the current, white is neutral, and green or
copper is ground.
– Don’t stick a bobby pin into an electrical outlet, even if your cousin dares you to.

What You’ll Need

To replace or install a light fixture, here’s what you’ll need:

– Multitester/Voltage detector (not strictly necessary but highly recommended)
– Wire strippers
– Screwdriver
– Light fixture (a simple pull chain fixture is pictured but most fixtures install the same
way)
– Work light/flashlight if working in an area without natural light
– Wire nuts (depending on your fixture)
- Pliers
- Electrical Tape

72 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

INSTALLATION

Step 1: Shut off power

For some fixtures you can simply shut the power off at the switch, but I recommend
always shutting power off at the breaker. If you’re lucky, the breakers on your
electrical panel will be labeled. If not it’s a bit of a guessing game, shutting off
breakers and then using the voltage detector to make sure the area you’re going to
be working in isn’t “hot.” (The voltage detector will beep and light up when a current
is present.) I always power down my computer before randomly flipping off breakers
… just in case.

Step 2: Connect wires

A standard box for a light fixture will have three wires, a white (neutral), black
(current), and copper (ground.)

A permanent fixture may have a plate that will be connected to the two screw holes
on either side of the box, and I find it’s easier to have that done before connecting
the wires (particularly on a heavy fixture that will need to be supported while wires
are being connected.)

Wires may be connected to the fixture in different ways. In this case, the wires are
wrapped around screws to make a connection. There may also be wires (of
corresponding colors) in the fixture that would be connected to the ceiling wires with
wire nuts.

In either case, use the wire stripper to remove 3/4″ of wire sheathing. To attach to
screw connections, bend the wire into a U-pe, wrap around the screw, then crimp the
wire closed and tighten the screw. (White wire to silver screw, black wire to gold
screw, ground to green screw.)

73 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

Step 3: Attach fixture to box

This simple pull-chain fixture was attached with two screws that go directly into the
box, but you may also have just one screw directly on to the mounting plate. Once
the fixture is mounted, install a light bulb, turn the breaker back on, and let there be
light.

Safety procedures in installing lighting fixtures

Working with electricity is inherently dangerous, and even if you are careful, a
momentary lapse by yourself or even another person can cause injury, death or
damage to property. If you are the kind of person who has a hard time concentrating
on the task at hand then you might consider NOT doing electrical wiring. Also, you
need to honestly ask yourself if you can really be trusted to ALWAYS do a
conscientious good job. If not, then consider a career as a plumber - they make good
money, and people rarely die when they screw up.

Three bad things can happen when an electrician messes up:

 The electrician dies

 Someone else dies
 A building burns down resulting in massive financial loss

To avoid damage to the electrician:

1) Know what you are doing, otherwise don't do it.
2) Make SURE that the electricity is turned off.
3) Make SURE that the electricity will stay off.
4) Work as though the electricity is on.
5) Pay attention to what you are doing - don't do wiring work if you are distracted,
sick or impaired.

To Avoid Damage to other people and property:

1) Know what you are doing, otherwise don't do it.
2) Pay attention to what you are doing
3) Check your work as you do it and immediately after completing each task
4) Follow the codes, and get your work inspected.

Know what you are doing

74 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

Wiring isn't brain surgery, but it isn't instinctive behavior either. Before you start you
need to have a good understanding of the basic concepts and techniques.

Make Sure the Electricity is Off

1) Obviously turn off the breaker to the circuit you are working on. Don't EVER trust
the labels in the breaker box. The preferred thing to do is first turn on something
(light, radio, etc.) that is at the actual location that you are going to work on, and then
observe that it goes off. If you do much work on old stuff eventually you will find
things that have been cobbled up and don't go off when you think they should.
2) Confirm that the electricity is actually off by testing at the fixture you are working
on with a voltage tester.
3) After doing 1 and 2 use an insulated tool to short the hot to the ground in the
equipment you are working on. If sparks don't fly then all is well.

Make Sure that the Electricity STAYS Off

1) Notify everyone in the area that you are working on the electricity, and warn
everyone not to meddle with it. Teenagers are particularly likely to arbitrarily turn on
the electricity so they can watch TV or get on myspace - without check into why it is
off.
2) Unless you can clearly see the breaker panel from where you will be working, put
a breaker lock on your breaker. If you don't have a breaker lock, then at least seal
the breaker box with tape and a bold note warning not to turn the electricity on. A
breaker lock with the key in your pocket is best.

Work as Though the Electricity is On

If you think this is a joke then do this: Go to a construction site where electricians are
working, and ask to take a look at their screwdrivers and wire cutters. Smart money
bets you will find a tool or two that has electrical burns on it. What does that tell you?

1) Wear good shoes or boots that have nice thick insulated soles.
2) Avoid working on wet ground or floors. Never work on a panel or other live work
while standing in water, or while you are wet.
3) Use tools with insulated handles.
4) Make a habit of not touching a ground with one hand while you work with the other
hand. That way if you get shocked it won't be as severe. Some guys put one hand in
their pocket if they are working on something hot.
5) Wear eye protection. Arc melted copper in the eye really sucks.
6) If you will be using a ladder it should be made of fiberglass or another non-
conductive material.

Pay Attention to What You are Doing

The leading causes of electrical fires are loose connections. The leading causes of
loose connections are distracted electricians. Cultivate good work habits, and
eliminate distractions from your work place - including the customers. Most people
don't perform at their peak while being grilled by the customer. Tell them that in the

75 Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times

interest of safety you will take a break - on the clock - while they conduct their
business with you. If that doesn't keep it brief you aren't charging enough.

Check Your Work

After you make each connection give it a tug. After you complete a task turn on the
switch and test it. Use a voltage tester to make sure that metal housings aren't
electrified.
