INFORMATION SHEET 1.1 TROUBLESHOOTING DEFECTIVE FLUORESCENT LAMP FIXTURES Fluorescent lamps have more components compared to incandescent lamps and when installed in pairs or groupings, things may go wrong and things get more complicated. In this scenario, troubleshooting is necessary. Troubleshooting is problem detecting and solving, often applied to repair defective gadgets or products like fluorescent lamp fixtures. It is a systematic search search for the source of a problem problem so that it can be solved, to make the gadgets or products operational again.
The table below describes the common problem indications, indications, possible causes and corrective action that should be taken.

Leak in the lamp tube
Inspect visually the lamp tube for possible cracked or damaged. If there is, replace with a new one.
No electrical power to the lamp fixture.
Check the power source. Make sure that all power controls such as circuit breaker and switch are turned on. Adjust the lamp and set it properly. Clean dirty sockets thoroughly. Check the spacing of the lamp holders. If they are too far apart, make needed adjustments. If damaged, replace the lamp holders.
Loose contact between the lamp and the lamp holder.
Improper wiring
Check the wiring connections to see whether it follows the diagram on the ballast label
Defective ballast
Check the ballast. This may be determined by checking continuity between the leads of the ballast. If the pointer of the multi-tester deflects a little the ballast is good; if it deflects fully, the windings of the ballast is shorted an shorted and d if it will not deflect, the winding is open.Replace open.Replace the ballast.

INFORMATION 1.3 SKETCHING AN ELECTRICAL WIRING PLAN Sketching an Electrical Wiring Plan Before starting to sketch an electrical wiring plan, the minimum requirements for each area or room in the building should be considered. BEDROOM: A bedroom is a private room where people normally sleep for the night or relax during the day. A general illumination should be provided in this area. Convenience outlets should also be installed on each side and within 1.5 to 2 meters of the centerline of each bed location.
Lighting and power provision for the bedroom
MASTER’S BEDROOM: The master’s bedroom is the principal bedroom in a house and is usually occupied by the head of the household. The lighting and power/convenience outlets requirement is similar to the ordinary bedroom.
Lighting and power provision for the masters bedroom
128
DINING AREA: A dining area is a part of the house for consuming food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving. This area should be well lighted and provided with convenience outlets.
Lighting and power provision for a typical dining area
LIVING AREA: A living area is a part in a residential house for relaxing and socializing. This should be provided with convenience outlets. Usually chandelier and pin lights are installed in this area as shown in the drawing.
Lighting and power provision for the living area
129
KITCHEN: A kitchen is a part of a house used for cooking and food preparation. This area should be well lighted and should be provided with convenience outlets. A special purpose outlets should be installed for cooking range and other kitchen appliances.
Lighting and power provision for the kitchen Toilet and Bathroom: A toilet is a sanitation fixture used primarily for the disposal of human excrement and urine. A bathroom is a room for personal hygiene, generally containing a bathtub or a shower. Lighting should be installed in this room. Convenience outlet could also be installed but it should be near the mirror or away from the shower area.
Lighting and power provision for the Toilet & Bathroom PORCH: Some porches are simply attachments of a home to give the traditional appearance to a home. Similar to a living area, this should also be provided with convenience outlets. Usually chandelier and pin lights are installed in this area as shown in the drawing.
130
Typical Porch Lighting and power provision GARAGE: The traditional opening of garage door is through manual operation. But because of the high technology, garage door remote has been introduced. Lighting and convenience outlets should be provided in this area.

READING ELECTRICAL PLAN To read electrical plans, start with the floor plans where you can get an idea of the layout and intent of the space. Carefully study and understand the wiring diagrams, which show the paths that wires will take from each piece of equipment back to the panel. Electrical components are represented by various symbols and their corresponding meaning.

To determine total watts and current loads in figures A and B Figure A: Lighting Outlets Layout Examine the lighting layout in figure A. There are 19 lighting outlets. Split the 19 lighting outlets into two circuits 1 and 2. There are 19 light outlet divided into two Circuit 1 = 9 light outlets Circuit 2 = 10 light outlets A. 1.
Circuit – 1 Lighting Load (9 light outlets) The Philippine Electrical Code provides that 100 watts be the maximum load light outlet. Thus, for 9 light outlets at 100 watts, multiply: 9 outlets x 100 watts = 900 watts
2.
Compute the current load 900watts/230volts = 3.91amperes
134
B.
Circuit – 2 Lighting Load (10 lights outlets)
1.
For 10 light outlets, find the total load in watts: 10 light outlets x 100 watts = 1,000 watts
2.
Compute current load: 1000 watts/230 volts = 4.35 amperes
Figure B: Convenience Outlets/Power Layout Count the convenience outlets in figure B. There are 16 convenience outlets. Circuit – 3 = 6 convenience outlets Circuit – 4 = 6 convenience outlets Circuit – 5 = 1- range load Circuit – 6 = 1- water heater load Circuit – 7 = 1- Aircon Unit Circuit – 8 = 1- Aircon Unit C.
Circuit – 3 for small Appliance Load: The Philippine Electrical Code specifies 180 watts load limit per convenience outlet. Thus: 1. Find the number of appliance outlet and total load in watts. 6 outlets X 2 gang per outlet x 180 watts 12 x 180 = 2,160 watts 2. Compute current load 2,160 watts/230 volts = 9.39 amperes
D.
Circuit - 4 for small Appliance Load 1. Find the number of appliance outlet and Total Load in watts. 6 outlets X 2 gang per outlet x 180 watts 12 x 180 = 2,160 watts 2. Compute current load 2,160 watts/230 volts = 9.39 amperes
E.

One unit of air conditioner at 1.5 horse power is: 1.5 hp x 746 watts = 1,119 watts Article 6.7 of the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) provides that: “Branch circuit conductor supplying a motor shall have an ampacity not less than 125% of the full load current” 2.
