INTRODUCTION

When you work with appliance repair, you need to be


familiar with working of the tools. You may
already be familiar with the typical wrenches
and screwdrivers, but you will need to know
more, such as about voltage meters and even
single and multiphase compressor testers.
Therefore, it is necessary to be sure that you
are equipped with enough knowledge to
properly use the tools that will be needed.
Always remember to take them when you are
working on a job.
Fig. 1. Tools used in Various tools and equipment are required
electricity
for maintaining
various electrical components (Fig.1). Therefore, it is
necessary to know about various tools and equipment to
operate them safely.

1-TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT


Fig. 1.2 Screwdriver
The various tools and equipment used by an electrical
or electronic technician while working with electrical
circuits are explained below:
Slotted Phillips Robertson (a) Screw driver: It is used to turn,
Fig. 1.3 Types of screwdrivers tighten or remove screws (Figs. 1.2 and 1.3).
(b) Ratchet: It is used to allow rotary motion in only one
direction. It is used to tighten nuts of various sizes (Fig.
1.4).
(c) Spanner: It is used to turn and tighten nuts and
bolts of various sizes (Fig. 1.5).
(d) Wrench: It is a hand tool used for tightening and
loosening of the nuts and bolts (Fig. 1.6). Fig. 1.8 Tester
(e) Wire cutter and Plier: A wire cutter is used for
striping and cutting wires whereas a plier is used to
hold objects like nuts and bolts firmly also used for
cutting metal wires (Fig. 1.7).
(f) Tester: It is used to verify the presence of electric
voltage in electrical equipment (Fig. 2.8). Fig. 1.9 Hammer
(g) Hammer: It is used to fix nails in walls and
wood, (Fig. 1.9).
(h) Ladder: It is used to climb upwards to reach
higher places (6 to 7 feet) in tall units of a control
panel (Fig. 1.10).
(i) Utility Knife: It is used to cut various objects, such
as wires, cords, tapes and so on (Fig. 1.11).
(j) Soldering or Desoldering Iron: It is used to embed/
remove the components on/from the panel (Fig. 1.12). Fig. 1.10 Ladder
(k) Soldering or Desoldering Station: It is used to
hold the hot iron when it is not in use and adjust the
temperature of the tip (Fig. 1.13).

(o) Watt meter: It is used to measure electrical power of


any given circuit (in watts) (Fig. 1.17).

Fig. 1.17 Watt meter

(p) Megohmmeter or Megger: It is used to measure


leakage in wires and earth resistance (Fig. 1.18).

(q) Multimeter: It is used to measure various


electrical quantities like resistance, voltage, current, etc
(Fig. 1.19).

Fig. 1 .19 Multimeter


(a) Combination Pliers
It is used for cutting, removing insulation, jointing
and twisting the electric wires and cables even on live-
line. (Fig. 1.21).
