    COVERAGE FOR QUARTER 3 EXAM

    1. Electrical Symbols
    2. Interpreting Electrical Wiring Plan

    Common Electrical Symbols

    Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent


    various electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit. These symbols
    are used in sketching schematic diagrams and electrical plans for numerous types of
    electrical works. Practically any electrical fixture found in a house has a symbol that
    coincides to said fixture on an electrical wiring diagram. These are very useful guide
    for an electrician or electrical contractor, thus, making the wiring easier to install as
    well.
    The following are common electrical symbols used in sketching wiring plan and
    diagram.

    Interpret Electrical Wiring Plan

    Electrical Wiring Plan is a technical representation of electrical system proposed to


    be installed in building or house, which includes material, devices and equipment.
    This plan generally uses electrical symbols to represent the actual materials or
    devices. Electrical symbols is one of the most important electrical principles that
    engineers, electricians, and technician should know and understand. It helps them
    interpret electrical installation of equipment, fixture, and correction stated in the plan.
    Aside from drawing pictures or preparing special photograph of equipment and
    connections, these symbols are essential in indicating the parts of an electrical circuit.

    The following are examples of wiring diagrams and their interpretations:

    Electrical Wiring Plan/Diagram Interpretation


    Wiring Diagram of one lamp
    controlled by a single pole switch using
    a circuit breaker.

    Wiring Diagram of one lamp controlled


    by a single pole switch; and a
    convenience outlet using a circuit
    breaker.

    by two 3-way switches in different
    locations using a circuit breaker.

    Wiring diagram of one lamp controlled


    by two 3-way switches in different
    locations using a safety switch.

    Wiring diagram of two lamps, first lamp


    is controlled by two 3-way switches
    and the second lamp is controlled by
    single pole switch using a circuit
    breaker.
