DEFINITION OF TERMS

• Battery – Two or more connected cells that produce a direct current by converting chemical energy to electrical energy.
• Calibration – Calibration is the comparing of a measurement device (an unknown) against an equal or better standard. A standard in a measurement is considered the reference; it is the one in the comparison taken to be the more correct of the two. One calibrates to find out how far the unknown is from the standard.
• Certification – Refers to the process of giving recognition to the attainment of knowledge, skills and attitudes
• Clamp-on ammeter Is a type of ammeter which measures electrical current without the need to disconnect the wiring through which the current is flowing.
• Competency Is the specification of knowledge, skills and attitudes required to perform work activity in a range of context or environment
• Electrical Switch A device for opening and closing electrical circuits under normal load conditions, usually operated manually.
• Element Refers to the building blocks of a unit of competency. It describes in outcome terms the functions that a person who works in particular area of work is able to perform
• Evidence Guide It is a guide for assessment that provides information on critical aspects of competency, underpinning knowledge, underpinning skills, resource implications, context of assessment and assessment method.
• Generator One that generates, especially a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
• Hydrometer – An instrument used to determine specific gravity, especially a sealed, graduated tube, weighted at one end, that sinks in a fluid to a depth used as a measure of the fluid’s specific gravity.
• Lighting Ballast In a fluorescent lighting system, the ballast regulates the current to the lamps and provides sufficient voltage to start the lamps.
• Lubricant A substance, such as grease or oil, that reduces friction when applied as a surface coating to moving parts.
• Megger – A megger (or sometimes meggar) is often used as an alternate term for an insulation tester – a circuit tester which puts a very high voltage at a very low current across two conductors to make sure that they are properly insulated. The word is short for megohmmeter.
• Ohms – An ohm is the electrical resistance offered by a current carrying element that produces a voltage drop of one volt when a current of one ampere is flowing through it.
• Open Circuit The difference of electrical potential between two terminals of a device when there is no external load connected.
• Philippine TVET Qualification Framework – Refers to a comprehensive, nationally consistent framework for qualifications in the TVET sector. It also provides the parameter for the integration of learning and assessment in the middle skills development.
• Pneumatic Referring to the use of air box signal information and control process.
• Preventive and corrective maintenance servicing for electric generator – These are the two main types of maintenance work performed by marine electricians. Preventive maintenance in the context refers to maintenance performed regularly intended to prevent problems in machinery and systems and normally consisting of cleaning, oiling, minor adjustments and occasional replacements. Corrective maintenance refers to work performed when equipment/system malfunctions or troubles occur and involves major and/or minor adjustments, repairs and replacements.
• Qualification Refers to the national certificate issued by the TESDA or its accredited industry organizations in recognition that a person has achieved competencies relevant to a trade or industry.
