ELETRICAL INSTALLATION
AND MAITENANCE NCII
Module 2
The unit of competency “Perform roughing-in activities, wiring and cabling works
for single-phase distribution, power, lighting and auxiliary systems” contains the
knowledge, skills and attitudes required for Electrical Installation and Maintenance
NCII course required to obtain the National Certificate (NC) level II.
If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask your teacher for assistance.
You may already have some basic knowledge and skills covered in this module. If
you can demonstrate competence to your teacher in a particular skill, talk to your
teacher so you do not have to undergo the same training again. If you have a
qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous trainings, show it to him/her.
If the skills you acquired are consistent with and relevant to this module, they become
part of the evidence. You can present these for RPL. If you are not sure about your
competence/skills, discuss this with your teacher.
After completing this module, ask your teacher to assess your competence. Result of
your assessment will be recorded in your competency profile. All the learning activities
are designed for you to complete at your own pace.
In this module, you will find the activities for you to complete and relevant
information sheets for each learning outcome. Each learning outcome may have more
than one learning activity.
This module is prepared to help you achieve the required competency, in receiving
and relaying information. This will be the source of information that will enable you to
acquire the knowledge and skills in Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC level II
independently at your own pace with minimum supervision from your teacher.
This lesson covers the knowledge and skills of lay outing and installing
flexible metallic conduit and it contains on the information of the number of
conductors in trade size conduit.

LEARNING EXPERIENCES/ACTIVITIES
INTRODUCTION
Flexible metallic conduit is a kind of wiring installation which is commonly used for
external motor terminal connection. It is being manufactured in rolled in the form of
coil.
This type of wiring method should not be allowed under the following conditions:
in wet location
in hoist way
in storage battery room
in hazardous location
when exposed to oil, gasoline or materials which affects rubber
A flexible conduit consists of flexible steel tube which is made from convex to
concave metal strip in a spiral winding with length from 50 to 200 feet.
Flexible metallic conduit (FMT) is used in a connection where the load being
supplied no definite place where flexibility is desired. Some common equipment are the
portable motor, drill press lathe machine and the like.
The minimum size of this type of conduit ranges from ½ to 1 ½ inches electrical
trade size.
