PRODUCT 1 : ELECTRIC TESTER

S.NO: Assembly Description Effect of removal Deduced sub function

/Part No.
1. 1 Plastic casing There is a possibility of
getting electric shock
2. 2 Metallic cap No grounding of current
which acts like sink for the
current
3. 3 Spring connector No possibility for current
to flow from metallic rod
to the metallic cap.
4. 4 Neon bulb There will be no indication
whether the current is
flowing or not.
Electricity insulating
materials like rubber, glass,
Teflon may be used.
Good conductors like
copper cap may be used
instead.
Replaced by an earth wire
which is a good conductor.
LED bulb is used instead
because it is also having a
low requirement of
current.

5. 5 Resistor There will not be any No alternative but a very

limiting of current from strong resistor as best
power source resistor component.

6. 6 Metallic rod No connection in which Conducting material

the voltage have to be should be used for
tested voltage detection.

1. 1 The plastic casing under which the Plastic 1
tester circuitry is placed serves as an
insulator.
2. 2 A threaded metallic cap is at the top of Metal 1
the screwdriver holding the circuit inside.
The cap needs to be grounded when the
metallic rod is inserted in the plug.
3. 3 The spring has a dual functionality of Metal 1
acting as an earth wire and
connecting the tester circuitry to the
cap when screwdriver is placed inside
a socket.
4. 4 It serves as an indicator of current Glass consisting
whenever the metallic rod is plugged of neon element.
inside an active power source.
5. 5 The maximum current from the Carbon or metal 1
power source that can travel to the oxide film
neon bulb is limited by the resistor.
6. 6 The metallic rod is placed on the line Conductor Metal 1
upon which voltage has to be tested

S.NO: Assembly Description Effect of removal Deduced sub function

/Part No.
1. 1 Pins No Connection of current to No alternative because pins
the wires. has to be fixed in socket but
better alternative materials
like copper, nickel pins are
used.
2. 2 Fuse clip Cannot able to hold fuse A copper holders or
body and current will not sockets may be rounded
flow through it. around the fuse body
instead for clip.
3. 3 Plug body and base All the pins, wires and fuse  No alternatives because
are held by it. every part has to be fixed in
it.

4. 4 Cord grip Cannot able to hold cable A rubber washer can be used
sleeve. for grip.
5. 5 Fuse body Cannot able to control fire
during large currents
6. 6 Screws Help to fit the wires in the Copper clips for the wires
pins. are used

1. 1 There are good conductors of Brass 3
electricity which conducts current.
2. 2  Its provides fuse body to hold in it Copper 2
3. 3 Its a insulator which holds all the UF /ABS 1
cable and will not allow current to
flow outside.
4. 4 The cable is secured in the plug Hard plastic 1
by a cable grip.
5. 5 The fuse breaks the circuit if too Alumina 1
much current flows.
6. 6 Holds the pins with plug body and Metal steel 3 or 4
base with the help of screws
