Assessment and Installation of Electrical Systems of a Classroom Building in a Public Secondary School in Sta. Rita, Pampanga

The Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) is a collection of rules and regulations that regulate the safe and correct construction, operation, and maintenance of electrical systems across the Philippines. Becuran National High School currently has problems regarding the population of students, hence the need for new buildings to be built. But there are some neglected buildings not currently used today due to erosion of ceilings and mainly the lack of electrical supply and faulty outlets in the classrooms. This study aims to assess and install an improved electrical system in a public secondary school in Sta. Rita, Pampanga. The initial assessment revealed multiple issues, including faulty wiring, nonfunctional lighting, burned-out outlets, and damaged ceiling fans all of which posed safety risks. Thus, a new electrical system was designed that adhered to the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC). The redesign included a modern lighting layout, upgraded power outlets, and removed branching. The installation phase successfully replaced defective components, installed lighting, and provided sufficient electrical outlets. The study succeeded in converting a faulty and malfunctioning electrical system into a code-compliant and modern system that meets the classroom's present and future requirements.
