Study Notes
Convenience Outlet
- Provides a practical source of electrical energy for appliances.
- Available in two types: flush type and surface type.
Male Plug
- Device inserted into a convenience outlet to facilitate electric current flow.
- Consists of two ends: one connects to the outlet while the other connects to an appliance.
Lamp Holders
- Also known as lamp sockets; designed to hold and protect the lamp.
- Available in various types including flush hanging, chain, and surface types.
Switch
- Mechanism that enables the connection and disconnection of electric currents in a circuit.
- Comes in different shapes, designs, and surface types.
Fuse
- Circuit protective device that automatically breaks the current during overload or short circuit events.
- Types include plug type, knife blade, and cartridge.
Circuit Breaker
- Protective device that automatically interrupts the current in cases of circuit issues such as short circuits or overloads.
Junction Box
- Octagonal-shaped enclosure for wiring connections or joints.
- Usually features a flush type lamp holder and can be made from metal or PVC.
Utility Box
- Rectangular-shaped enclosure made of metal or plastic.
- Used to mount flush type convenience outlets and switches.
